Russia has the largest mineral resource potential and is one of the world's leading producers of minerals. At the same time, the investment attractiveness of the country's mineral resource base is relatively low due to the unfavorable geographical and economic location of many mineral deposits, the relatively low quality of mineral raw materials, and their weak competitiveness in the current economic conditions. There is no long-term state strategy in the field of subsoil exploration, reproduction of mineral resource base and technical re-equipment of enterprises for extraction and primary processing of minerals. These negative factors in the near future may lead to significant difficulties in the functioning of the mineral and raw materials complex and to a slowdown in economic development. Conducting an effective policy in the sphere of rational use of mineral and raw material base requires taking into account the consequences of globalization of the world economy, the projected growth of consumption of mineral and raw material resources in the 21st century and is the most important condition for structural reorganization and modernization of the economy and consistent increase in the welfare of the population. Rational use of natural resources should be understood as an effective, targeted use of natural resources, carried out in compliance with public interests, taking into account ecological links in the natural environment and in conjunction with the protection of nature as the basis of life and human activity. Environmental protection at the present stage is an element of an independent, very specific production activity, which should be based on the corresponding economic and legal regulatory framework. The primary role in creating the basis for rational nature management is assigned to state planning and regulation. Among the strategic goals of the Russian Federation in the field of environmental protection and rational nature management are the following: Consistent solution of the problems of development of the economic complex of the state, which takes into full account the ecological and natural-geographical conditions of specific territories; Achievement in each specific territory of the quality of the living environment that meets the system of assessments of genetic health of the population; Restoration and preservation of biosphere equilibrium, genetic fund of fauna; Rational use of all natural-resource potential of the country. Within the framework of the solution of the set problems, scientific teams of Russian universities have united their scientific knowledge and works in the proposed volume.

Using methods of hydrological and environmental expert examination for differentiation of water tax rates

Article preview

Changes in water and tax legislation have necessitated the need to make additions to the compliance of positions of the system of accounting and assessment of water objects and resources. Accordingly, there was a need to develop market elements of regulating relations in the water use system (water tax, rent payment) while maintaining the lease principles of water resources assessment. Hydrological and ecological expertise is the main tool to implement a differentiated approach to assessing the quality of water bodies and resources. Development of the strategy of water bodies categorization according to the criterion of ecological well-being of aquatic ecosystems makes it possible to obtain corrective coefficients to water tax gates.

Modeling of thermohydrodynamic and chemical processes in geothermal reservoirs

Article preview

Data on fluid chemistry and rock mineralogy are evaluated for a number of geothermal fields located in the volcanic arc of Japan and Kamchatka (Russia). Common chemical characteristics are identified and used to define scenarios for detailed numerical simulations of coupled thermohydrodynamic-chemical (THC) processes. The following scenarios of upward flow of parental geothermal fluid were investigated: single-phase conditions, 260°C at the bottom, two-phase conditions 300C at the bottom, heat pipe conditions, 260°C at the bottom. According to the results of THC modeling for the single-phase upward flow scenario, the main secondary minerals in the productive zone are wairakite, quartz, K-feldspar and chlorite. THC modeling of the two-phase upward flow scenario shows quartz, K-feldspar (microcline), wairakite and calcite as the major secondary minerals in the productive zone in the model. THC modeling of heat pipe conditions shows no significant secondary mineral deposition. Secondary mineral deposition can lead to significant porosity reduction over a century time period under mass-flow conditions, and complete fracture sealing will occur within sufficient time under both single-phase and two-phase upward flow scenarios.

Management of ecological and economic risk of negative impact of wastes of mining and metallurgical production

Article preview

Russian and foreign models of environmental safety management at various industrial facilities are analyzed. It is established that either individual or social risks of human mortality are taken as hazard indicators, or expert assessment of potential risks is carried out without quantitative economic evaluation. Technogenic arrays are classified by degree of ecological hazard on the basis of modeled results of total costs of environmentally safe waste disposal depending on the degree of their ecological hazard. For each class of arrays the optimal strategy of ecological safety management is developed.

Development and testing of nature protection technology of rational complex development of high-gas-bearing coal deposits with associated extraction and utilization of coal methane

Article preview

Works in this scientific direction were started in the main coal basins of the USSR about 40 years ago. The basic technology was the technology of hydrodissection of coal seams with subsequent extraction of water and gas. At the depth of occurrence of coal seams more than 500-600 m, the efficiency of this technology begins to decrease and there is a need to develop and use additional physical, physical-chemical, thermodynamic and other active effects on low-permeable, not unloaded from the mining pressure coal seams. The developed methods have no analogues in the world practice and are protected by patents.

Assessment of the possibility of geochemical self-recovery of agrolandscapes on the basis of monitoring

Article preview

Agrolandscapes make up the largest part of the world's man-made landscapes. Their soils are subjected to annual mechanical cultivation; fertilizers and toxic chemicals are applied. All this leads to specific contamination of soils with a number of chemical elements. All over the world, certain agro-landscapes are periodically withdrawn from agricultural turnover. In this regard, it is important to answer the question: whether geochemical "soil self-remediation" is possible in this case or not. If geochemical self-recovery is possible, it is desirable to know how long it can happen. We have developed a methodology of works on the basis of monitoring studies. On its basis this problem was considered for tea plantations of the Western Caucasus.

Modern problems of ecological control, monitoring and environmental quality management

Article preview

The state of the environment in St. Petersburg has been analyzed. The factors responsible for the deterioration of environmental quality have been identified. There is practically no unified regional system of environmental quality management, the level of environmental control and environmental monitoring is low. The system of new quality indicators based on the use of the system of environmental indicators and environmental quality indices is proposed. The main feature of the proposed system of indicators is a good compatibility of indicators with the requirements put forward by decision-making systems, namely the ease of interpretation and the possibility of making decisions on the basis of these indicators. Recommendations for the creation of regional environmental quality management system have been developed.

Automated database "Information system of CO2-monitoring of metallurgical production"

Article preview

The problem of global climate warming entered the orbit of world politics in the second half of the last century. Many scientists attribute the increase in CO 2 concentration to the increase in commercial production and, first of all, to the increase in the amount of coal and fuel burned. In this paper, an automated database (ADB) "Intelligent system of CO 2 -monitoring of metallurgical production" is proposed to evaluate and compare the impact of metallurgical technologies on CO 2 emissions. The ABD allows to analyze the carbon and blowing CO 2 consumption at different enterprises on the basis of data on the consumption of carbon materials and to draw conclusions about the degree of progressiveness of the used metallurgical technologies.

Strength and durability of adhesive bonding of adhesives and compounds with granite, concrete and steels

Article preview

It is established that between the characteristic temperatures Tt and Tb the temperature-time dependence of the adhesive bond strength of adhesives and compounds with granite, concrete and steels is described by the Zhurkov equation. At T<T t the strength does not depend on temperature, the time dependence of the strength is described by the quantum analog of the Zhurkov equation. An empirical expression describing the temperature-time dependence of strength at T>T b is found. These results allowed us to propose a method for predicting the durability of adhesive bonds at any temperature based on the results of strength measurements in the interval T t <T<Table.

Development of the concept of information support of oil production sites and the structure of the database for the purpose of forecasting of emergency situations

Article preview

Oil and gas production is hazardous due to the fact that the main production processes take place under high pressure, and field equipment operates in aggressive environments. It is difficult to collect metric and attributive data in the Far North, so in some cases it is necessary to develop new approaches to information support of oil and gas bearing territories. The authors have developed a concept of solving this problem, given specific recommendations for the creation of a unified GIS of oil development, the use of remote sensing materials. The structure of a specialized database (DB "Forecast") has been developed for mentioning the process of forecasting accidents on trunk pipelines and creating a series of forecast maps of accidents. The system access to the forecast database is carried out from the GIS "Panorama" program environment. The developments make it possible to improve the quality of engineering and environmental monitoring, reduce the risk of accidents in oil and gas production areas.

Oceanic and continental rifts of North-East Asia and the areas of their juxtaposition (seismotectonic analysis)

Article preview

Geological and geophysical studies of northeastern Yakutia and the coast of the Laptev Sea to determine seismotectonic patterns of this poorly studied region show that within the plate boundary running from Greenland to Alaska, a rare situation is observed when oceanic rifts, extending as a transition zone into the system of Cenozoic basins, crossed the entire eastern Yakutia from the coast of the Laptev Sea to the Sea of Okhotsk and developed until the Upper Pleistocene as the Mominsky rift system. In modern times, the Momin basin system is developing in the mode of transpression, which is associated with the movement of the Eurasian and North American plates towards each other. This is due to the location of the rotation pole of these plates, shifted from the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk towards the Laptev Sea.

Physico-chemical bases of creation of sorption technologies for high-salt liquid radioactive waste management

Article preview

A theoretical model for the synthesis of nanosized sorbents in porous media of ion-exchange xerogels has been developed, which takes into account the occurrence of one or more parallel reactions of insoluble substances formation. The model describes the diffusive transfer of inter-active substances in the porous medium of xerogel and the formation of insoluble substances both in the pores of the xerogel and on the outer surface of the porous matrix. Model calculations of barium sulfate formation in the pores of amorphous porous barium silicate have been carried out. The conditions of the process of insoluble barium sulfate formation in porous xerogel medium have been determined. The results of calculations agree well with estimates made on the basis of equilibrium thermodynamics data.

Creation of technology for decontamination of radioactive sludge generated during production of gas, gas condensate and oil

Article preview

On the territory of Russia, up to hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of oil sludge are stored in sludge storages of oil producing and refining enterprises. In the absence of modern technologies for liquefaction and utilization of oil sludge, a significant number of storage facilities have turned from a means of preventing oil pollution into a threat of large-scale pollution of soil, underground and surface water bodies. The complexity of effective utilization and liquidation of oil sludge lies in their structure. They contain oil, water, emulsions, mechanical impurities - in different ratios, and simple settling, even with heating, does not give the effect of stratification of oil sludge components.

Analysis of influence of green plantations structure on population health

Article preview

The most common diseases, such as influenza, acute viral infections (ARVI), acute bronchitis, and some bacterial infections (tuberculosis and pneumonia) were chosen as criteria for health indicators, as they can be sampled in large enough volumes. In addition, respiratory diseases may reflect the role of green spaces in health changes. The results obtained do not provide a definite answer as to whether there are any pronounced trends. In some cases, the relationship between the area of green spaces and respiratory morbidity in children was the opposite of the expected one. Factors such as the social composition of the population and air pollution also seem to play a significant role. In the future, it is necessary to increase the sample size and the number of parameters studied, especially with regard to plantations.
