A brief description of longwall top coal caving (LTCC) is included at the end of the Longwall section of the Fundamentals of Coal Mining module of this web site. Despite the fact that there are numerous coal seams in Australia which are thick enough for LTCC to be used to increase recoveries, potentially at a reduced cost/tonne, there has been little application of the process to date.
Longwall Top Coal Caving. Longwall top coal caving (LTCC) is a special type of longwall mining applicable to very thick seams (greater than 4.5m) where good quality coal is being left because "conventional" longwall equipment has not yet been designed to

The Broadmeadow mine was started using a longwall to extract coal at 4.7 m (15 ft) leaving the top section of the seam to fall into the gob. The adjacent open-cut mine has been mining the full seam section for more than 30 years, investigations and evaluations were made into the Top Coal Caving method and its suitability for the operation.

01-11-2017· Longwall Top Coal Caving has been considered as one of the most effective technologies for the extraction of underground thick coal seams. A large number of studies on the applicability of Longwall Top Coal Caving into new mine sites have linked the success of its application to the geomechanical understanding of the cavability of the top coal.
01-02-2005· Top-coal caving through windows of shields was performed in one shift at the Omerler Underground Mine. During top-coal caving, adequate fastidiousness was not applied and orders of top coal flowing through windows of shields were not observed by workers. For these reasons, shield windows have also not been opened in a proper order.
Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 0.6–1.0 m (2 ft 0 in–3 ft 3 in) thick). The longwall panel (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3–4 km (1.9–2.5 mi) long and 250–400 m (820–1,310 ft) wide.
Roof to floor closure, most commonly measured by measuring clearance between roof or the underside of support canopies and convenient specified locations on longwall equipment (e.g. top of AFC back plates along the face and top of BSL pans or the crusher in the main gate).

Longwall Top-Coal Caving: A productive and efficient alternative In the right conditions, longwall mining is one of the safest, most productive and most efficient ways to produce coal. This is owed in part to the high degree of automation employed by modern longwall operations, which keeps shearers and roof supports advancing smoothly and people far from the dangers of the face.
01-10-2014· The top-coal caving longwall mining is one of the major mining methods for extracting thick coal seams in China. The top-coal caving mining was estimated to have produced about 0.6 billion metric tons every year, accounts for 18% of underground coal mining in China .The major features of the top-coal caving mining are that a conventional longwall mining with cutting height 2–3 m is
Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) is a special designed longwall mining method for very thick seams (thickness is more than 4.5m) where good quality coal is being left because "conventional" longwall equipment has not yet been designed to operate successfully beyond around 5m mining height.
