The 5 Lifecycle Stages of Mining. 1. Exploration & Prospecting Stage. This is the first and most essential step of the mining process: in order to open a mine, companies must first find an economically sufficient amount of the deposit (an amount of ore or mineral that makes exploitation worthwhile.) Geologists are enlisted by the companies to ...

Surface coal mining involves: removing parts or all of mountaintops to expose buried seams of coal, and. disposing in adjacent valleys the excess: "overburden" (rock above the coal seam), and. "interburden" (rock between coal seams). Overburden and interburden are disposed of in adjacent valleys because the broken rock will not all …

A process flow diagram for a typical coal cleaning plant is presented in Figure 11.10-1. In the initial preparation phase of coal cleaning, the raw coal is unloaded, stored, conveyed, crushed, and classified by screening into coarse and fine coal fractions. The size fractions are then conveyed to their respective cleaning processes.

How a Coal Plant Works. Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity. The steam is then cooled, condensed back into water and returned to the boiler to start the process over.
