Coal mining, preparation and combustion cause detrimental effects to the environment. The main causes are examined in this book and suggestions for the reduction of these detrimental effects are suggested. Procedures for calculations of amounts of green house gases (CO2 and CH4) while mining and combustion of solid fuels in comparison with liquid and gaseous ones are proposed, taking into account other countries performances.
An evaluation of residual solid waste from coal mining and preparation and processing is made together with suggestions for their utilization or for more appropriate disposal methods.
An assessment of the behavior of trace elements contained in the coal during their processing and methods for calculations of the quantities of the ecological hazardous compounds formed from these trace elements are also presented.
