      <description><![CDATA[Recycling materials from the demolition of roads and other forms of infrastructure is potentially a new business growth area for many companies. Svedala, the Swedish-based global supplier of mining and construction equipment, has produced a two-unit, mobile plant which is purpose-designed for this activity. Starting with a pilot project in southern Sweden, they're hoping that this equipment will make them a major international player in the market.]]></description>

      <title>RAPID EXCAVATION OF ROCK WITH SMALL CHARGES OF HIGH EXPLOSIVE. OPEN FILE REPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/168888</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The purpose of this investigation was to test a blast shield, develop a conceptual design for an automated drill and blast system (ADBS), and make an economic analysis of the ADBS compared with conventional drill, blast, and muck (DBM) systems. The ADBS tunneling concept was developed in an effort to design an excavation system of greater efficiency than the DBM system conventionally used. The ADBS would minimize downtime and approach noncyclic efficiently by small charge blasting. Small charge blasting uses simultaneously detonated light charges in four to eight short holes, usually in a line. Limitation of the total explosive per blast reduced air blast overpressure, fly rock velocity, vibrations, and noise enabling the blast shield to adequately contain these side effects. Conceptual design for the ADBS included blast shield, chasis, hydraulic drills, automated explosive loading and firing system, and an armored cab. Horizontal and vertical blast shield alinement controls and ventilation are incorporated into the design. The economic analysis determined ADBS advance costs to be 17 to 20 pct lower than DBM on a per foot basis.]]></description>

      <title>PROCEEDINGS OF WORKSHOP ON MATERIALS HANDLING FOR TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION HELD AT KEYSTONE, COLORADO ON AUGUST 3-5, 1977</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/69521</link>
      <description><![CDATA[With the anticipated increases in tunnel construction in the next decade greater demands will be made on transportation systems to remove tunnel muck at rates consistent with tunnel excavation rates. Conventional materials-handling systems such as rail, rubber-tire vehicles, and conveyors will have to expand their capabilities. Simultaneously, hybrid and lesser known systems such as pneumatic and slurry pipelines must be considered as potential systems for muck haulage, particularly since they show substantial promise of being capable of transporting the muck volumes projected for the next decade. A workshop entitled, 'Materials Handling for Tunnel Construction', was held August 3, 4, 5, 1977 at Keystone, Colorado. Experts were invited from the construction, metal and non-metal mining industries. The participants evaluated the state of the art of materials-handling systems for underground construction, exchanged information on current systems applications and research, itemized research needs, and produced a written summary of their conclusions. This report comprises the proceedings of the workshop.]]></description>

      <title>IEA COAL RESEARCH ANNUAL REPORT, 1979</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/162465</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report describes the work of the four Coal Technology Projects managed by NCB (IEA Services) Ltd., namely the Technical Information Service, the Economic Assessment Service, the World Coal Resources and Reserves Service, and the Mining Technology Clearing House Service. The collection and dissemination of information on coal technology has been continued. Coal Abstracts contains an average of some 500 abstracts per month from journal articles, reports, conference papers, and monographs from 30 countries; 733 copies of Coal Abstracts are distributed in member countries and there are 19 subscribers in 18 countries, including China and the USSR. The scope of the work of the Economic Assessment Service has been extended into technical fields with increasing relevance to topical issues such as the economics of coal based electricity generation and the cost of liquid fuels from coal. The work being undertaken on these topics is described. The Resources and Reserves Service has now decided and agreed upon a definitive and logical basis for the assessment of reserves, and the procedure for obtaining data and extracting results is now in full operation. The Clearing House has published a full set of Project Registers detailing mining Research and Development work, and initiated a multilateral cooperative program in Hydrotransport. During 1980 further subjects for collaboration will be defined. (ERA citation 05:026762)]]></description>

      <title>ESTECH GENERAL CHEMICALS CORPORATION, DUETTE MINE, MANATEE COUNTY, FLORIDA. RESOURCE DOCUMENT: DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTIVITY. DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/143956</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Estech General Chemicals Corporation proposes to use equipment and design generally available and practiced by the presently operating mines. The components of the operation are two large walking draglines for parallel ore extraction from two mines; hydraulic ore transportation via pipeline to a central washer for ore disaggregation and pebble recovery; a feed preparation and flotation plant for extraction of finer phosphates; wet rock storage and drying; and shipment via rail. Clay and sand wastes are to be disposed of initially in separate areas, but will subsequently be mixed into a common backfill using the method that proves to be most viable technologically and economically. The Corporation also proposes its water use plan and water management system, and the restoration of all land disturbed by the operation.]]></description>

      <title>NATIONAL COAL UTILIZATION ASSESSMENT: THE PRICE AND AVAILABILITY OF LOW SULFUR COAL IN EASTERN MARKETS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/75324</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study examines the regional market patterns for low sulfur coal through 1985. Regional coal demands and price-quantity relationships for coal supply are estimated. Demand and supply are integrated within a formal model of interregional coal markets. Minemouth and delivered prices of low sulfur coal are computed, as well as the market boundary between Western and Eastern coal supply regions. Finally, potential transportation, mining equipment, and labor constraints on expanded low sulfur coal production are examined. (ERA citation 03:025719)]]></description>

      <title>PARAMETERS AND REGIMES FOR THE HYDRAULIC TRANSPORTATION OF COAL BY PIPELINES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/75316</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The monograph deals with the results of experimental and theoretical study of the parameters and regimes of hydraulic transportation of coal through pipelines. The author has discussed the data on the experimental studies of transporting the lump and run-of-mine coal in the water current, the effect of different parameters on the fragmentation of coal in the mains and on their hydroabrasive wear. The problems of theory and the calculation of different flow regimes along pipelines of thinly dispersed highly concentrated water-coal suspensions suitable for direct burning have also been discussed; the structural-mechanical properties of these suspensions and the conditions of transporting lump coal in them have been studied for the first time. Methods have been suggested for the calculation of parameters and regimes of transportation and the change in the sieve composition of coal in mains; recommendations have been made for the selection of effective parameters of transportation which ensure the least energy capacity of the process.]]></description>

      <title>NO SUB 2 LEVELS IN DIESEL EXHAUST</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/75191</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The safe operation of diesel-powered equipment in underground mines is predicated on there being sufficient ventilation to dilute the exhaust such that none of the toxicants in the dilute mixture exceed allowable levels. In order to determine the ventilation requirement for an engine, it is necessary to measure levels of the various toxicants in the exhaust. Measurements in the past typically either have excluded nitrogen dioxide or have not provided information on nitrogen dioxide specifically. Primarily this exclusion has resulted from lack of a fast, on-line analytical method. Development of the chemiluminescence analyzer appears now to provide the requisite capability; this instrument has been demonstrated to yield valid information for nitrogen dioxide levels and has been applied in a series of experiments conducted at the Department of Energy's Bartlesville (Okla.) Energy Research Center (BERC). Measurements of nitrogen dioxide in the exhaust from several diesel engines operated over wide ranges in speed and load were made as part of BERC's cooperative program with the U. S. Bureau of Mines. Results of these experiments indicate that nitrogen dioxide concentrations vary from less than 10% to approximately 30% of the total oxides of nitrogen. The nitrogen dioxide fraction was maximum at light load and decreased with increasing engine power. This trend was consistent for all five engines tested. (ERA citation 03:022090)]]></description>

      <title>EVALUATION OF MINING CONSTRAINTS TO THE REVITALIZATION OF PENNSYLVANIA ANTHRACITE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/29626</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The objective of this research was to evaluate the technical and economic constraints on the extraction and utilization of anthracite coal and to determine the research and development needed in order to make anthracite coal more fully used as a premium energy resource. The report examines in detail the anthracite industry both past and present and evaluates market possibilities. Anthracite reserves and resources are analyzed and tabulated, and the problem of pumping and drainage from the flooded anthracite fields is covered. Current technology is considered in detail with a discussion of production techniques with potential for improvement. The contractor concludes the report with a summary of constraints on the anthracite industry and the contractor's recommendations for effecting a revitalization of that industry. An estimated production of 17 million tons annually by 1990 can be anticipated if adequate planning, research, and development to overcome present constraints are initiated in the near future.]]></description>
