Highlights

  • A new area in the development of coal processing technologies is associated with the creation of low-waste and waste-free industries, the utilization of environmentally polluting substances that are generated when coal is processed into industrial products.Coal-mining and coal-consuming countries faced the 21st century in the context of the heightened environmental requirements and existing laws in certain countries

  • At the initial stage of the experiment, coke and coal dust were mixed at a ratio of 1:1 with water for 1-2 minutes using a paddle stirrer connected to the engine

  • A coke-and-coal dust mixture in a 1:1 proportion makes it possible to achieve the acceptable heat of combustion of the finished concentrate, since the coke dust is a high-calorific waste and the introduction of a depleting additive - coal dust - allows the use of coal concentrate for direct combustion in household furnaces without any burnt grates

Summary

Introduction

A new area in the development of coal processing technologies is associated with the creation of low-waste and waste-free industries, the utilization of environmentally polluting substances that are generated when coal is processed into industrial products. Coal-mining and coal-consuming countries faced the 21st century in the context of the heightened environmental requirements and existing laws in certain countries. Those are the U.S Clean Air Act issued in the early 1990s; The Kyoto Protocol on Measures against Climate Change and Global Warming ratified by the parliaments of most countries of the world; the new motor fuel quality standards in Europe [1]. One of the relevant issues for coal regions is that of the carbon-bearing finedispersed waste generation at coke-chemical and coal-mining enterprises. The wastes adversely affect the atmospheric air, water bodies, subsoil, flora, and fauna
