Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2801697A1] Disclosed is a longwall working face, non-pillared mining method, comprising the following steps: 1. Excavating a tailentry (2) and a headentry (3); 2. Reinforcing a top panel (5) of the tailentry (3) and drilling on the top panel an energy collecting hole (7) for pre-splitting blasting; 3. Extracting until a goaf is formed; 4. Blasting at a position corresponding to the energy collecting hole and forming a kerf on the top panel; 5. The mining face collapsing to become a new roadway; 6. Taking the original headentry as the tailentry of the next mining face, and excavating a headentry relative to the tailentry, to form a new mining face; and 7. Repeating steps 2-6, and continuing to mine coal until the coal seam mining is completed. The present method involves continuity between every two mining faces, non-pillared support, a short process for forming roadways, and high efficiency of mining and forming roadways.
