Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The complex hydrogeological conditions in deep mining areas, combined with large-scale and high-intensity mining activities, have triggered a series of mine water disasters and significant resource waste issues. The prevention of mine water hazards and the utilization of water resources are crucial for the safe operation of mines and the efficient utilization of mine water resources. Studying the occurrence mechanism of surrounding coal water disasters, advanced detection and disaster prevention can provide a theoretical basis and effective solutions for mine water treatment.
By studying fundamental mechanics theories of water-bearing coal rocks, technologies for the resource utilization of mine water, mechanisms of surrounding rock water disasters, and advanced technologies for the early warning and prevention of mine water disasters, an accurate prediction of and rapid response to mine water hazards can be achieved. This can minimize the losses caused by mine water disasters and effectively utilize water resources in mines. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to discuss the latest advances in the theory and technology of mine water hazard prevention and resource utilization.
All manuscripts related to the proposed topic are welcome. The Special Issue may include (without being limited to) the following themes:
(1) Fundamental mechanics of water-bearing coal and rock;
(2) Mechanism of surrounding rock water disaster;
(3) Theory and technology of mine water hazard detection;
(4) Theory and technology of monitoring, forewarning, prevention, and control of mine water disasters;
(5) Theory and technology of coordinated exploitation of coal–water dual resources;
(6) Resource utilization of mine water;
(7) Other related technology for mine water disaster prevention and resource utilization.
Given your competence in this area, we invite you to contribute a paper on the aforementioned subjects or others that may be relevant.
