The present invention relates to a method of storing waste material in a subterranean formation, the method including digging a mine shaft to reach the subterranean formation; constructing a ventilated underground control center wherein the center includes a computerized control panel; providing a drill head, wherein the computerized control panel controls the movements of the drill head; providing a hollow drill pipe; providing a movable hydraulic shield; providing a movable resin roof bolting machine; providing a movable waste extrusion device; operating the computerized control panel to advance the drill head into the subterranean formation to obtain a mined-out space; and extruding waste material into the mined-out space of the subterranean formation.

A method for recovery of residual coal pillars by freezing accumulated water in room-and-pillar mining areas is provided. A feasibility of repeated mining of residual coal pillars in room-and-pillar goafs is distinguished based on production data and exploration data of a mine. An accumulated water in the room-and-pillar mining areas is frozen to replace a paste filling material, which envelopes collapse roofs and gangues in the room-and-pillar goaf as a whole. The room-and-pillar goaf is filled with a frozen ice body. Roadways and mining faces are arranged in the frozen ice body. Coal cutter cuts the residual coal pillars and the frozen ice body. With the advancing of the mining face, the residual coal pillars are gradually recovered and melted water after the cutting is pumped out.

Disclosed is a method of segmented grouting for repairing aquifers in a mining area after mining. The method may include: drilling a grouting hole in a ground area corresponding to a water inflow position in a goaf; and performing a segmented grouting in a target grouting layer through the grouting hole. The segmented grouting may include: a scour and migration grouting, a splitting and diffusion grouting, and a sedimentation and compaction grouting. The scour and migration grouting may use a first slurry with a first specific gravity and a first pump volume for grouting. The splitting and diffusion grouting may use a second slurry with a second specific gravity and a second pump volume for grouting. Moreover, the sedimentation and compaction grouting may use a third slurry with a third specific gravity and a third pump volume for grouting.

An aggregate slinger for an underground void stabilization system, the aggregate slinger comprising a vertically extending shaft and a number of dispersing members. The vertically extending shaft is inserted through a ground hole into an underground void and rotated about a vertical axis in the ground hole. The dispersing members are configured to extend radially from a lower end of the vertically extending shaft in the underground void so that the dispersing members radially spread aggregate descending into the underground void from the ground hole to form a radially enlarged support column of aggregate in the underground void.

A method of extracting mineral ore with a tunnel boring machine can include positioning the TBM in an initial chamber adjacent to a mineral field; boring a first tunnel into the mineral field aligned with the initial chamber, while transporting muck containing the ore away from the first tunnel; and retracting the TBM out of the first tunnel and back into the initial chamber. The method can further include pouring a grout plug at a proximal end of the first tunnel, and boring a second tunnel with the TBM through the grout plug and into the mineral field laterally offset from the initial chamber. The second tunnel can be bored by advancing the TBM from the initial chamber along an S-curve path having a first curve away from the first tunnel and a second curve toward the first tunnel, after which the second tunnel is parallel with the first tunnel.

Provided are a method for grout injection repair and water retention in a goaf, including: determining extraction information on the goaf and a coal seam, forming a barrier wall through performing a first grouting operation at a side of the goaf near the coal seam based on the extraction information, performing a second grouting operation to complete a grout injection repair from outside to inside in the goaf based on the extraction information. The first grouting pressure of the first grouting operation is less than the second grouting pressure of the second grouting operation.
