The invention relates to a process for separating rock refuse of coal mining and products of coal deposits with rock intercalation, the coal contents of which being advantageously less, than 50%, into parts being rich and poor in coal, respectively, in a given case in a pure refuse parts by using the heavy-media process. In sense of the invention the raw material mentioned above is crushed according to necessity to the grain size of 0 to 50 mm and/or graded. Hereinafter from the raw material and from the weighting material partly being present in the raw material in a quantity of at least 7 weight-%, advantageously 10 weight-%, in a grain size of 0-0.5 mm, partly recycled from the process, a mixture of sludge is prepared in the presence of a liquid phase, while the density of the sludge mixture is adjusted in accordance with the extent of separation. The sludge mixture is allowed to pass through one or more hydrocyclones and equipments separating according to grainsize and/or grading equipments. The density of a part or of the entirety of the streaming suspension is adjusted in accordance with the required density of the sludge mixture, and the suspension in a density thus adjusted is recycled to the sludge production. The product resulting from separation and the suspension not having been recycled are discharged from the system. In case of necessity the process is partly or entirely automatically controlled.

The mining method of this invention is particularly suitable for the underground extraction of large mineral deposits, wherein a subsidiary road is formed perpendicularly to the work face from which the mineral deposit is to be removed. A boundary subsidiary road is formed substantially perpendicularly to the subsidiary road, a first mine tunnel is formed by removing the mineral deposit from the work face along the subsidiary road until the boundary gate road is reached. Then the material around said first mine tunnel is collapsed to fill the same along the subsidiary road and the collapsed matter is consolidated along the subsidiary road. Finally a second mine tunnel is formed along the subsidiary road. The second mine tunnel can be horizontally or vertically adjacent to the first mine tunnel.

The invention relates to a method for recovering rare metals from the combustion residues of various coals, in particular brown coals. The recovery is performed by digestion, more particularly by aqueous and/or dilute alkaline and/or dilute acidic digestion, where two or three of these steps can be combined in any desired order or they may be carried out separately. During digestion the concentration of the solution is monitored and the subsequent digestion steps are terminated at a desired concentration. The solid and liquid phase are then separated and the rare metals are isolated from the liquid phase while the solid phase, optionally after neutralization and/or washing can be utilized for example as a source of energy.

A self-advancing support apparatus for protecting mine gate crossings, and optionally for engaging the reversing/driving head of a longwall and/or gate conveyor. The support apparatus has at least two side by side desired construction but expediently of a construction identical with that of the support unit at the longwall face to which said unit is connected via a coupling element. Each unit includes a base, a canopy, and connected between them, expediently by articulation, bracing elements as well as advancing elements and holding devices mounted on the base, and if so desired, for advancing the reversing/driving head of the longwall conveyor, a guide track extending in the direction of the gate conveyor, and an actuating/controlling unit. A holding mechanism is provided for engaging the reversing/driving head of the longwall conveyor and has at least two degrees of freedom of movement. An extendible cantilever is connected to the canopy, and at least one device for directional guidance connects the units together and expediently is in the form of a jack.

There is disclosed a process for the extraction of thick coal seams by means of which coal seams not extractable in one bank or slice and/or located at peripheral areas may also be extracted under improved mine safety conditions and with high productivity. According to the invention the thick coal seam is if required, divided horizontally and/or vertically into extraction blocks which are bounded and separated by stowing pillars arranged according to the direction of advance of the extraction. The cavity of the pillars is advanced at a level higher than the level of the roof of the extraction space, after which the cavity of the pillar is back-filled. Then the block is extracted by means of block caving in a manner known per se. In a preferred embodiment of the invention incombustible material that agglomerates under the effect of the static pressure of the rock is used for stowing. The utilization of the process for extraction according to the invention results in a considerable increase of intensity. Whether the extraction is in one or more slices and whether using individual or self-advancing supports, using track-bound or independent loading/conveyor equipment, an economic extraction of coal seams is achieved.

A process for the underground gasification of coal and carbonaceous materials in makes the customary lengthy preliminary task of establishing an underground interconnection between wells and cavities unnecessary. Instead, according to the invention, the circulation of gasifying agents and product gases is between one or more wells and the boundary of an underground generator (i.e. cavity system) through a reaction zone in the generator.
