Popis: Abstract The hydro-mining technology is considered as a promising method of bituminous coal excavation. The paper presents the results of the in-situ experimental campaign and modelling of hydro-cutting technology application. The proposed innovative technology was tested in terms of the effects of the distance between the outlet of water from the nozzle and a sidewall, pressure of the water jet, as well as the type of a nozzle on hydro-mining effectiveness. The hydro-cutting tests of coal seam performed in the Experimental Mine “Barbara” in Poland proved that the increase in water pressure in the range 20–40 MPa only slightly affects the coal face structure, while high pressure, of 80–100 MPa, has a significant impact on a coal face structure. The experimental results also showed the major effects of operating time as well as the distance of the water jet on the effectiveness of coal face mining.
