Discover the most cutting-edge solutions to the environmental problems posed by coal
In Innovative Approaches towards Ecological Coal Mining and Utilization, a distinguished team of researchers delivers a comprehensive and fulsome exploration of the ecological problems caused by coal mining and utilization. The book discusses environmental pollution and carbon emissions in the context of modelling coal engineering issues, the design of innovative coal engineering systems, and the evaluation of innovative coal mining systems.
The authors consider the technical and economic viability of each proposed solution, making the book ideal reading for environmental and energy researchers in academic and industrial circles. Fully interdisciplinary, Innovative Approaches towards Ecological Coal Mining and Utilization offers readers an integrated look at the management science and policy simulation involved solutions to ecological problems caused by coal mining and utilization.
The included resources make full use of expansive case studies to illustrate the concepts discussed in the book, as well as robust economic analyses of the various technologies. Readers will also discover:
- A thorough introduction to ecological coal mining and developing trends in ecological coal utilization
- Comprehensive explorations of innovative approaches in coal mining and a multiple coal seams-oriented equilibrium strategy towards coal-water conflict resolution
- Practical discussions of seasonal change-oriented dynamic strategies towards coal-water conflict resolution and GIS-oriented equilibrium strategies for coal gangue contamination mitigation
- In-depth examinations of carbon dioxide emission reduction in coal-fired power operations
Perfect for environmental and water chemists, mining specialists, and chemical engineers, Innovative Approaches towards Ecological Coal Mining and Utilization will also prove to be an invaluable addition to the libraries of process engineers seeking the latest information on solutions to the environmental problems caused by coal mining and utilization.
