Nature, 1901 IN the vigorous outburst of technical literature that the last few years have witnessed, the subject of mining has not been forgotten, and the student of this subject has his choice of a fair number of works of a high degree of merit, amongst which those published by Messrs. Griffin and Co. take foremost rank. It was therefore to be expected that a new

A novel decision support system for designing and assessing phytoremediation‐to‐biofuel value chains
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The design of biofuel value chains is a complex process due to the large number of stakeholders involved, seasonality in feedstock availability, security of supply, logistics costs, efficiency considerations, and its multi‐node nature. Decisions on designing phytoremediation‐to‐biofuel value chains are even more complicated, due to the ...

Effects of dilute coal char particle suspensions on propagating methane detonation wave [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Methane/coal dust hybrid explosion is one of the common hazards in process and mining industries. In this study, methane detonation propagation in dilute coal char particle suspensions is studied based on Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The effects of char combustion on methane detonation dynamics are focused on.

Mobilizing mine lands for biobased decarbonization strategies
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Over 163 000 ha of mine lands in Pennsylvania (PA) have the potential to produce willow as a feedstock for renewable energy generation. Each year these lands could produce between 454 000 and 907 000 dry Mg of willow, which can be a feedstock for bioenergy (i.e., biopower) with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) or sustainable aviation ...

Early Warning System for Seismic Events in Coal Mines Using Machine Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 This document describes an approach to the problem of predicting dangerous seismic events in active coal mines up to 8 hours in advance. It was developed as a part of the AAIA'16 Data Mining Challenge: Predicting Dangerous Seismic Events in Active Coal Mines. The solutions presented consist of ensembles of various predictive models trained on different
