本文作者以参予“煤炭工业部露天煤矿开采工艺和经济效益调研组”对我国部分露天煤矿进行现场调研的有关资料为基础,阐述了我国露天煤矿开采工艺的现状及合理选择开采工艺的主要因素.文章指出,合理选择开采工艺是优化露天矿设计的重要环节,应根据矿区自然条件、设计能力及我国技术经济状况,合理选择经济效益好,技术先进合理的开采工艺,不能生搬硬套,更不能一刀切. The author of this paper, based on the relevant data of on-the-spot investigation on some open-air coal mines in China, participated in the research group of “Open-pit Coal Mining Technology and Economic Benefit Investigation Group of the Ministry of Coal Industry”, expounded the current status of the open-pit coal mining technology in our country and the main factors The article points out that the rational choice of mining technology is an important part of optimizing the design of open pit mine. According to the natural conditions, design capability and technical and economic conditions in our country, reasonable selection of mining technology with good economic benefits and advanced technology is reasonable and can not be applied mechanically or even across the board .
