  • Patent number: 11821314
    Abstract: An underground mining method for unexploited coal in a boundary open-pit mine is provided. A shaft construction platform is arranged at one rock step to two rock steps above a coal seam. Intermediate bridges are built starting from a pit bottom. Mining area clay is laid on a working slope where no intermediate bridge is built and on a side slope with an outcrop of the coal seam as a sealing layer to seal the slopes. Auxiliary vertical shafts and main inclined shafts are dug. The pit bottom is dug downward to form a digging space on a side close to the working slope between two adjacent ones of the intermediate bridges, and clay is filled into the digging space to form an artificial water barrier layer. A roadway communicating the main inclined shafts and the auxiliary vertical shafts is constructed, and a coal seam stope face is arranged.

  • Patent number: 11674393
    Abstract: A method for constructing a dam inside a dump of an inner-dump strip mine includes: taking an upper surface connection line of a primary water-resisting layer as upper filling reference datum boundary of an artificial water-resisting layer; arranging a dam foundation pit and a trapezoidal abutment on a midline of the dam foundation pit; building and reinforcing a step-shaped retaining dam core wall on the artificial water-resisting layer; laying a foundation impervious layer, waterproof geotextile, and an earth blanket on one side, close to the primary aquifer, of the retaining dam core wall; strengthening advance of a dumping working face on one side, away from the primary aquifer, of the retaining dam core wall, and dumping overburden of a strip mine to form a support; filling a space between the earth blanket and the primary aquifer to form a blocker; and proceeding with construction and forming a continuous retaining dam.

  • Patent number: 11673747
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for constructing a pumping-injection well of a groundwater reservoir in a dump of an open-pit mine. The pumping-injection well includes a bottom pipe, intermediate pipes, and a top pipe in sequence from bottom to top connected from bottom to top. The method includes: arranging a rubble barrier around the pumping-injection well, and installing the bottom pipe of the pumping-injection well at a designed position of the pumping-injection well as a center of circle; continuing to install an intermediate pipe on the bottom pipe, and pile up a rubble pile; continuing to stack multiple intermediate pipes, and starting the construction of the groundwater reservoir; discarding discarded materials from the open-pit mine to form a dump; continuing to stack intermediate pipes to build an inverted trapezoidal surface sump around the pumping-injection well; and installing the top pipe and a well cover to form a complete pumping-injection well.
