Abstract

A method of recovering a room-and-pillar coal pillar by using external replacement supports. In the recovery of a room-and-pillar coal pillar, a cement material wall is formed by performing pouring around a coal pillar having a width to height ratio of less than 0.6, by means of a single-pillar sack arrangement technique, such that a coal pillar resource may be mined while a wall made from a cement filling material supports an overlying stratum. After mining is complete, a coal pillar goaf region is filled with the cement filling material, and after the cement filling material solidifies and is stable, the single pillar can be recovered.
