Slurry Backfilling & Waste Mine ManagementSouthern Illinois University
Illinois Clean Coal Institute 2014-2017 Project Description: The slurry backfilling procedure on abandoned mine areas was evaluated in three different coal mines in Illinois. The effect of slurry backfilling on strength reduction of the immediate floor of the mines and mine pillars are studied based on different laboratory and numerical models.
