Processing of organic waste with biogaswormtechnology

Article preview

On the basis of world and Russian experience, and also the spent experimental researches high efficiency of processing of a firm and liquid organic waste on a basis biogaswormtechnology is established. On the basis of the Mining University the physical biogaswormtechnology farm model is created. On the basis of this model were studied biogas and worm technology processes of processing of an organic waste. Physical and chemical properties of initial raw materials, and also a received product – a biohumus and biogas are  analysed.

Dust control at coal enterprises of the North

Article preview

In Saint Petersburg State Mining Institute series of measures aimed at protection of environment from harmful impact of technological processes during open-cast mining and underground operation of coal, which is the most popular power resource for today are carried out. In future coal will be one of the main resource, as its supply may satisfy the needs of all branches of industry for a long period of time. The problem of stable maintenance with a heat and electric energy of the north remote territories, settlements, objects of ability to live of the person is stubborn in a modern level of development of a fuel and energy complex of Russia. Application of new technologies on use of local renewed energy sources in small energetic will allow to approach essentially manufacture of energy to the consumer and to involve in manufacture of heat and an electricity alternative kinds of fuel.

New technologies to ensure safety in mining in Russia

Article preview

Mining is closely connected with the impact of mankind on the environment for the purpose of supply with primary resources. When ultimate production of mineral resources is more than 6,5 billion tonns, total losses comprise 2,5 billion tonns: discharge of rupugnant substances into the air is about 50 million tonns, effluents discharge is 2 billion m3 and more than 8 billion tonns solid wastes are stored on the surface. By scientific school of SPMI series of measures aimed at protectoin of environment from harmful impact of technological processes during open-cast mining and underground operation of coal, which is the most popular power resource for today is carried out. In future coal will be one of the main resources, as it’s supply may satisfy the needs of all branches of industry for a long period.

Resource-saving technologies of heat energy production on the basis of solid combustible carbon containing waste processing

Article preview

The growth in the use of solid waste in the global industry has occurred throughout the twentieth century with varying effects in different sectors and with the aim of more efficient utilization of solid energy sources. The main suppliers of solid combustible carbon-containing wastes are mining, chemical, metallurgical, fuel and energy industries. Creation of technologies for processing and enrichment of solid combustible wastes and their use for obtaining environmentally friendly high-calorific combustibles will save labor resources and obtain a positive environmental effect, as well as increase the efficiency of fuel and energy resources use.

Research of new ways of processing of plant biomass waste in agricultural production

Article preview

The annual amount of organic waste in different sectors of the national economy of Russia is more than 390 mln tons. Effective utilization of processed solid biomass is provided by creation of artificial structured complexes - blocks, briquettes, pellets for subsequent combustion in household or industrial furnace devices. The new method of briquettes production is based on the experimentally established, not-known earlier phenomenon of migration in the briquette thickness of complex fluid systems, and includes preparation of briquette mass by mixing chopped straw with binder fine-dispersed material, introduced in dry form; briquetting of the mass and subsequent temperature treatment at 120-150°С.

Selection of rational compositions of fuel and energy raw materials for heat energy production by boiler-houses of the Leningrad Region

Article preview

As a result of the conducted research in assessing the possibility of using carbonaceous waste from the woodworking industry of the Leningrad region for heat energy production, harmonious compositions of energy raw materials and methods of their processing were determined. The most rational, as calculations have shown, is the use of large-tonnage woodworking waste for these purposes. At the same time, the most effective ways of processing raw materials and variants of rational location of woodworking enterprises in the Leningrad region depending on the distance to the consumer and prices for alternative energy carriers were proposed.

Use of carbon-containing waste from timber processing enterprises in the Leningrad region to generate thermal energy

Article preview

The Leningrad Region has very insignificant reserves of the main types of fuel and energy resources, represented mainly by wood, peat, oil shale and uranium, the development of deposits of which is not planned even in the long term for environmental reasons. However, the consistent introduction of new technologies for processing fuel and energy resources, the involvement of local resources in the fuel and energy balance, primarily wood, peat and shale fuels, and the creation on this basis of processing and energy-producing complexes of local type can ensure energy security and change both the economic and demographic situation in the Leningrad region.

Study of new ways to process combustible solid waste from mining industries

Article preview

One of the main directions of changing the country's fuel and energy balance is to increase the share of coal, as well as the rational use of combustible waste of extractive industries (coal, shale, forestry, etc.). Up to 10% (coal) and up to 70% (timber) of the extracted raw materials are not only not used, but also cause significant damage to the environment, polluting it. Creation of technologies of processing and ennoblement of products, obtaining environmentally clean, high-calorie combustibles, will save labor and get a serious environmental effect, will increase the efficiency of fuel and energy resources use.
