  • Impact of Coal Mining on Environment: a Study of Raniganj and Jharia Coal Field in India Sribas Goswami1
    Impact of Coal Mining on Environment: A Study of Raniganj and Jharia Coal Field in India Sribas Goswami1 Abstract Coal mining adversely affects the eco-system as a whole. On the unstable earth; the unresting mankind constantly uses a variety of resources for their daily lives. Coal is recognized to have been the main source of energy in India for many decades and contributes to nearly 27% of the world’s commercial energy requirement. Coal is mainly mined using two methods – surface or ‘opencast’ and underground mining. The geological condition determines the method of mining. Coal mining is usually associated with the degradation of natural resources and the destruction of habitat. This causes invasive species to occupy the area, thus posing a threat to biodiversity. Huge quantities of waste material are produced by several mining activities in the coal mining region. If proper care is not taken for waste disposal, mining will degrade the surrounding environment. The method of waste disposal affects land, water and air and in turns the quality of life of the people in the adjacent areas. This paper throws light on the burning issues of coal mines and its impact on the environment. Keywords: coal mining, development, displacement, explosive, pollution Introduction: Mining activity puts tremendous pressure on local flora and fauna, particularly where division of forest land for mining takes place. The effect of mining on ground water level, silting of surrounding water bodies and land are also of great concern. Coal mining contributes greatly towards the economic development of the nation, although it also has a great impact upon human health.

  • Coalmine Methane Under Indian Mining Scenario
    Coalmine Methane Under Indian Mining Scenario CMM under Indian Mining Scenario • In India coal is a reliable energy resource due to limited availability of petroleum and natural gas. • Coal based non-conventional energy is poised to play a major role in India as : 9 It would bridge the gap between demand and availability of conventional energy source 9 International trading scenario in energy sector has been stormy 9 Environmental concerns has given impetus to clean coal technologies. • Under the scenario, Coalbed Methane (CBM) and its subsets like Coal Mine Methane (CMM) and Abandoned Mine Methane (AMM) may find important place in Indian Energy scenario in coming years. CMM under Indian Mining Scenario Development of CBM in India • Out of different sub-sets of Coalbed Methane (CBM), CBM from the deep lying coal deposits (VCBM) has been pursued. • So far 16 Coalbed Methane (VCBM) blocks have been allotted under CBM policy of GoI covering an area of 7807 sq. km and prognosticated CBM resource of 825 BCM. • 10 more blocks have been opened for global bidding. • Several core wells/pilot wells have been drilled in the allotted blocks and are giving encouraging results. • Few operators are planning commercial production from 2007- 08. • The total production potentiality in the allotted blocks is 23 MMSCMD, which is about 10% of the existing Natural Gas demand. CMM under Indian Mining Scenario Coal Mine Methane and Abandoned Mine Methane • Coal Mine Methane (CMM)/ Abandoned Mine Methane (AMM) also subset of CBM is related to mining activities and as per MOU between MoC and MoP&NG, coal producing companies have right of CBM exploitation in their working mines including pre and post mining operations.

During the entire study period, bulk density of soil ranges from 1.2 to 1.4 gm/cc, pH varies from 5.2 to 7.4, while electric conductivity fluctuated between 120 – 527 µs /cm, organic carbon content and organic matter varied from 0.29 to 2.05%, 0.5% to 3.5% respectively. The average values of available nitrogen and phosphorus was 94.2 and 5.9kg/ha. Statistical analysis of the data showed positive co-relation of organic carbon with parameters like pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, available phosphorus and available nitrogen. Bray Curtis similarity analysis shows that there is a similarity of 96.7% between Site VIII and II and 93.68% between site VI and V.

  • A Study of Raniganj and Jharia Coal Field in India
    Volume 13 Issue 7 Version 1.0 Year 2013 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: & Print ISSN: Abstract- Coal mining practices in India have a long history. On a commercial scale mainly British companies started it in India. From its very first day exploitation of coal reserve started and it resulted into the environmental degradation through various ways. It is a topic of research importance because now a day the environmental problem is a burning global issue. Now a day if one observes any coal-mining project in India the truth aforesaid will automatically reveal. There is destruction of vegetation, soil resource, water resource; underground resource and great intensity of various pollutions have been observed. In short an inhuman treatment is meted out to the environment by modern civilization. The Raniganj Coal Field of Eastern Coal Field Ltd. and Jharia coalfield of BCCL are not an exception in this regard. Eminent Research scholars have done many research works in India regarding coalfield. But here the author wants to emphasize the environmental impact of the Raniganj and Jharia coal mining projects through this research work. Though coal is an essential resource but protection of environment is not less important. The author wants to disclose all the environmental impact of coal mining projects with its possible preventive measures. So the environmental impacts of coal mining projects are immense which will also help understand the development of Raniganj and Jharia coalmines. Keywords: coal mines, eco friendly environment, bio-restoration, a-forestation, combustion.

ABSTRACT Aim: The aim of the study was to monitor the water quality of ten pitlakes which were located in Raniganj coal field area, West Bengal for three successive seasons during April 2014 to March 2015. Methodology: In this study, physicochemical parameters of water samples were analyzed following standard methods. Statisti- cal analyses were used to indicate the role of each parameter. Result: Significant positive correlation was noted within hardness and chloride. The nature of the pitlakes is generally alkaline. A mean value of pH 7.65 were recorded which ranged between 6.70 and 9.10 during the study period. Significant variation found among other parameters of pitlakes. PCA reveals three most important and key influential parameters – Hardness, Chloride and Nitrate Nitrogen content of pitlake water. Conclusion: This observation indicates that mine waters differ in its composition with seasonal changes and having capability to change their nature with time.

    TECHNOLOGIES F0R FINE COAL BENEFICIATION IN INDIA Dr. D.D.HALDAR Deputy Director & Head, Coal Preparation Division Central Institute of Mining & Fuel Research (Digwadih Campus) Erstwhile Central Fuel Research Institute DHANBAD - JHARKHAND INTRODUCTION 9 Indian coals, in general are inferior in quality and difficult in cleaning characteristics. 9 Due to ‘Drift Origin’, the coals contain inherent mineral matter or contaminates. 9 The Erstwhile CFRI ever since its inception in 1946 has been campaigning for establishment of large Coal Preparation plants to upgrade inferior coking coals for steel making. 9 Upgradation of coal fines and dewatering of clean concentrates is the real problem of coal preparation in India. 9 The Beneficiation circuit of the washing plants installed in 1960’s did not include coal fines upgradation due to their acceptable quality. 9 The depletion of good quality reserves and deterioration of quality due to open cast mines called for coal fines upgradation containing high ash. 9 The coal fines are normally enriched with vitrinite, a component to increase the coking propensity and hence their presence in total cleans is essential. INDIAN SCENARIO OF COKING COAL PLANTS 9 Prior to 1950, there were no Beneficiation plants, since selective mining was in practice. 9 The first Indian coal washery was set up at West Bokaro in 1951, followed by the second one installed at Jamadoba in 1952 – both by M/s Tata Iron and Steel Limited. The third washery came up at Lodna colliery by M/s Turner Morrison in 1955. A large washery in the public sector was commissioned at Kargali by NCDC in 1958.
