Gémonval Coal Mines
The Gémonval coal Mining, mines are situated in eastern France, on the border between the departments of Haute-Saône and Doubs. The mines were operational for two distinct periods: the first between 1826 and 1847, following the granting of a concession, and the second in the 1940s by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, Bureau of Geological and Geophysical Research (BRGG). These periods were interspersed with several attempts at revival. In the 1830s, the mine was subject to significant stock market speculation. The Gémonval Haute-Saône Keuperian coalfield, keuper coal was used primarily for fueling boilers for concentrating brine from , particularly at , and for nearby Forge, forges. Additionally, the mines marketed pyrite from Coal preparation plant, coal washing for the chemical industry. At the beginning of the 21st century, vestiges of this activity, including mine entrances, Spoil tip, spoil heaps, and ruins, still exist. Location The Gémonval conces ...

Operations at the site included underground extraction ("Fond") until 1992 and surface activities ("Jour") until 2000.

Ronchamp Coal Mines
The Ronchamp Coal Mines were an area of coal mines located in the Vosges and Jura coal mining basins, in eastern France. They covered three municipalities; Ronchamp, Champagney and Magny-Danigon. Operated for more than two centuries, from the mid-eighteenth century until the mid-twentieth century, they have profoundly changed the landscape, the economy and the local population. Mining began in Ronchamp in the mid-18th century and had developed into a large industry by the late 19th century, employing 1500 people. Extraction started in adit before being dug at coal mine Saint Louis in 1810, introducing the first real extraction mine-shaft. The shaft seams sunk more and more, and became deeper until the well, owned by (Civil Society coal Ronchamp), eventually became the deepest mine in France beating the coal mine du Magny (694 meters) in 1878 and the coal mine Arthur de Buyer (1010 meters) in 1900. After the nationalisation of mines in 1946, the shaft and the thermal power ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Artisan
An artisan (from , ) is a skilled craft worker who makes or creates material objects partly or entirely by hand. These objects may be functional or strictly decorative, for example furniture, decorative art, sculpture, clothing, food items, household items, and tools and mechanisms such as the handmade clockwork movement of a watchmaker. Artisans practice a craft and may through experience and aptitude reach the expressive levels of an artist. History The adjective "artisanal" is often used in describing hand-processing in contrast to an industrial process, such as in the phrase '' artisanal mining''. Thus, "artisanal" is sometimes used in marketing and advertising as a buzz word to describe or imply some relation with the crafting of handmade food products, such as bread, beverages, cheese or textiles. Many of these have traditionally been handmade, rural or pastoral goods but are also now commonly made on a larger scale with automated mechanization in factorie ...

Saltern
A saltern is an area or installation for making salt. Salterns include modern salt-making works (saltworks), as well as hypersaline waters that usually contain high concentrations of Halophile, halophilic microorganisms, primarily haloarchaea but also other halophiles including algae and bacteria. Salterns usually begin with seawater as the initial source of brine but may also use natural saltwater springs and streams. The water is evaporated, usually over a series of ponds, to the point where sodium chloride and other salts precipitate out of the saturated brine, allowing pure salts to be harvested. Where complete evaporation in this fashion was not routinely achievable due to weather, salt was produced from the concentrated brine by boiling the brine. Background Earliest examples of pans used in the solution mining of salt date back to prehistoric times and the pans were made of ceramics known as briquetage. Later examples were made from lead and then iron. The change from lead ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Catchment Area
A catchment area in human geography, is the area from which a location, such as a city, service or institution, attracts a population that uses its services and economic opportunities. Catchment areas may be defined based on from where people are naturally drawn to a location (for example, a labour catchment area) or as established by governments or organizations such as education authorities or healthcare providers, for the provision of services. Governments and community service organizations often define catchment areas for planning purposes and public safety such as ensuring universal access to services like fire departments, police departments, ambulance bases and hospitals. In business, a catchment area is used to describe the influence from which a retail location draws its customers. Airport catchment areas can inform efforts to estimate route profitability. A health catchment area is of importance in public health, and healthcare planning, as it helps in resource allocat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
