Abandoned Cow Pasture Limestone Mine
An interesting example of limestone mining-induced subsidence has been the collapse of a part of Cow Pasture Mine at Wednesbury, Old Park, in 1978, around one century after the cessation of limestone mining. The mine was active from 1855 to 1879 and relatively high-quality mine plans are available (Brook and Cole 1984; O'Riordan and Cole 1984).

The Benefits And Effects Of Limestone
Limestone, applied as a slurry, which is a mixture of minutely crushed limestone and water, helps to prevent sulfur dioxide from escaping through the plant's smokestack. The limestone traps the sulfur dioxide gas in the wet slurry with calcium and oxygen and makes the pollutant a removable solid waste.

Analysis of limestone mine dust curing based on microbially …
To address dust pollution in a limestone mining area, we successfully prepared an efficient glycerol-microbial dust suppressant using Sporosarcina pasteurii XL-1 and glycerol via microbially induced carbonate precipitation. The results revealed that glycerol not only improved the wettability of the dust suppressant but also promoted bacterial growth.
Massive Pillar Collapses in US Underground Limestone …
From 2015 to 2021, five massive pillar collapses occurred at four underground stone mines in the eastern USA. These events resulted in powerful airblasts that damaged mine infrastructure and mobile equipment, seriously injured miners, and disrupted underground travelways. Each of these pillar collapses propagated through the overlying strata, causing a …
