Complex evaluation the type and amount of industrial damages commenced as the consequence of fly ash and slag dumping from the thermo power plants, heating plants and metallurgical plants on arable and other agricultural land

Abstract

Tendency for sustainable economic development of the Republic of Serbia shows the extraordinary demands for all types of energy, and especially for increasing amounts of so called 'clean' energy. Since the Republic of Serbia more than 60% of the need for energy fulfill from the thermo energy power plants with combustion of huge amount fossil fuel as the 'product' remains huge amount of fly ash and slag. Beside this, the big metallurgical plants of iron, steel and stained metals like the US Steel in Smederevo and RTB Bor, also produce a significant amount of incombustible materials. Evaluation the type and amount of industrial damages commenced on the mentioned process is very complex problem which requires a multidisciplinary approach. To reach qualitative solutions, it has to be taken into consideration both ecologically acceptable and economically sustainable solutions.
