Preliminary Activation

The article addresses the issue of mining and industrial waste stored in tailings and heaps in mining areas, and it explores the existing, as well as new, ways of reducing its harmful impact on the environment. On the basis of the Russian experience in mining industry in Ural, it presents a process which makes it possible to eliminate the amassed hazardous waste, retrieve the valuable material (metals) stored in it, and use the remaining waste as backfill in order to both: store it underground (and not on the surface) and prevent the disasters caused by the collapse of the abandoned shafts, thus prolonging the functioning of the mining areas. The process includes preliminary activation treatment of materials found in industrial waste in a disintegrator to protect the environment from toxic pollution. The promising results of the experiment have been discussed, taking into account the complexities of economic evaluation of the idea.

The Impact

Introduction. In the industrial regions of Ukraine, the structure of nature formed over a long period without objective laws of development and recovery of natural resource systems and ecosystems. All natural ecosystems (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere) have undergone forceful anthropogenic pressure. Chemical, radioactive and other pollution of the natural environment causes various, often incurable diseases, irreversible changes in the genetic structure of cells, which leads to an increase in the birth rate of defective generations. A special place in this context takes ecological safety in mining complexes. Mining complexes interrelated processes of human impact on the environment to provide raw materials and energy resources of various fields of economic activity. In a broad sense, the resource means as sources of matter and space - the environment of their location and life.Purpose. The purpose of the work is to highlight the importance of environmental safety management in mining complexes and areas for improvement.Methods. We used the methods of theoretical research to improve environmental safety in the mining complexes.Results. Based on theoretical research and improving environmental safety in mining complexes, the following measures are needed: control over the environment, reproduction and protection of its resources, improvement of natural living conditions, improvement of mining complexes as an environmental safety management system.Following environmental principles, it is necessary to manage the environment safety of mining complexes with the involvement of existing tools and methods of environmental analysis, as environment safety of this activity is of great importance for all areas of the environment. It is a question of studying of the zones of technogenic influence which are forming around dumps of mine breeds, and maintenance of physical, chemical stability of mining wastes. Management of ecological safety in mining areas will allow excluding the occurrence of the ecological-extreme situation after completion of the operation of coal deposits and during the future use of the disturbing territories. Stimulating self-education and ecological education, practical activity is at the same time a kind of generator in the process of developing beliefs in the main direction of the knowledge of conscious and responsible attitude to nature, ecological consciousness.Conclusion. Reasonable measures must regulate the impact of mining complexes on the environment. That means the monitoring of the state of the environment in mining areas; assessment of the threat of environmental hazards; prevention of complication of the ecological situation of the mining area (reclamation, phytomeliorative measures of heaps); development (implementation) of appropriate programs aimed at reducing environmental hazards.

Abstract This study is aimed at exposing differences between two data models in case of code lists values provided there. The first of them is an obligatory one for managing Geodesic Register of Utility Networks databases in Poland [9] and the second is the model originating from the Technical Guidelines issued to the INSPIRE Directive. Since the second one mentioned is the basis for managing spatial databases among European parties, correlating these two data models has an effect in easing the way of harmonizing and, in consequence, exchanging spatial data. Therefore, the study presents the possibilities of increasing compatibility between the values of the code lists concerning attributes for objects provided in both models. In practice, it could lead to an increase of the competitiveness of entities managing or processing such databases and to greater involvement in scientific or research projects when it comes to the mining industry. Moreover, since utility networks located on mining areas are under particular protection, the ability of making them more fitted to their own needs will make it possible for mining plants to exchange spatial data in a more efficient way.

Drilling Waste

Development of the Russian oil and gas fields in the Arctic requires ensuring industrial and environmental safety of conduct of the operations. Large and unique oil and gas condensate fields are discovered in the southern part of the Kara Sea. The Kamennomysskoye-Sea, Severo-Kamennomysskoye, Semakovskoye, Parusovoye, etc. gas condensate fields are located in the Ob Bay of the Kara Sea. The raw material base of the Severo-Obskoye gas condensate field, unique in terms of the reserves, will become the basis for future Arctic LNG projects. Based on the published data, the initial recoverable total hydrocarbon resources in the Ob and Taz bays are about seven billion tons. Active exploration and commissioning of the already discovered fields require the large volumes of well drilling in a freezing sea, the presence of permafrost, and gas hydrates. During construction of the wells and operation of the offshore ice-resistant oil and gas production platforms, it is required to ensure the disposal of drilling waste (cuttings) and domestic water. There are two technologies for waste disposal — injection into the reservoir or into the clay formations. The first one is used in onshore fields, the second one — on the shelf. Injection into a clay reservoir is successfully used in the Lunskoye gas field on the shelf of the Sakhalin island, and on the Prirazlomnoye oil field in the Pechora Sea. The possibility of using the method and the selection of a reservoir for injecting waste into it requires a geological justification, and the reservoir should ensure a stable injectivity of the required volume. The article presents the results of modeling the injection into the formation of drilling waste, and the waste of the household activities for the Kamennomysskoe-Sea gas condensate field. Calculation was made concerning the zone of absorption of the technological waste into the designed well of the offshore ice-resistant stationary platform. Formation allocation for waste injection was made according to the data of a complex of offshore wells geophysical studies. Three packs of sandy-argillaceous rocks with high reservoir properties were selected as the object of industrial waste disposal. Сalculation was carried out related to the radius of the spread of waste (effluent) in the target reservoir considering drilling and operation of twenty five wells, the construction of which is planned for five years. The results of modeling the process of pumping industrial waste of various types into an absorption well showed that the planned volumes can be successfully disposed of in the selected objects. This will allow to ensure functioning of the marine industry and its environmental safety.

Waste Management Practices

Protecting the occupational environment is a top priority in manufacturing of any kind of products and provision of various types of services. Environmental protection plays a significant role in the mining industry, as increasing extraction of minerals involves growing amounts of waste and environmental pollution. In 2019 alone, industrial waste generation in the Russian Federation peaked at 7.75 billion tonnes. AZOTTECH LLC is currently handling industrial waste associated with the production and use of chemicals for drilling and blasting operations, scrap from machine-building plants, etc. The article reports on the volumes of industrial waste of each hazard class for 2019-2020 and provides a forecast of the volumes for 2021. The reduction in volumes has been achieved through the implementation of a waste management system. In addition, the paper presents statistics on the reduction in the disposal costs, calculated according to the tariffs of each region where the company's subsidiaries are located. An analysis of the factors reducing the volume and cost of waste management has been performed. Upon implementation of the waste management structure, the costs decreased by 2.5 times, and the amount of waste was reduced by two times.

ABSTRACTThis paper analyses the consequences of urban environmental degradation on the well-being of Spanish miners. It is based on analyses of differences in mortality and height. The first part of the paper examines new hypotheses regarding the urban penalty. We take into consideration existing works in economic theory that address market failures when analysing the higher urban death rate. We explain the reduction in height using the model recently created by Floud, Fogel, Harris and Hong for British cities. The second part of the paper presents information demonstrating that the urban areas in the two largest mining areas in Spain (Bilbao and the Cartagena-La Unión mountain range) experienced a higher death rate relative to rural areas as a consequence of market failures derived from what we term an ‘anarchic urbanisation’.

The paper examines environmental problems of a city with a developed mining industry. Their influence on social stability, public health and demography, labor activity, migration, etc. was revealed. The methodology for assessing social and ecological tension for the city of Sibay in the Republic of Bashkortostan was tested, based on the approaches developed by I.A. Sosunova for the regions of Russia. The main materials for calculating the socio-ecological tension of the city were data from the analysis of information on the socio-economic and ecological state of the territory, conducting a sociological survey of the population, as well as assessing the ecological and geochemical state of the environment by a set of ecological indicators. All indicators were assessed using five-point scales. The final indicator was the index of social and ecological tension, which was determined by dividing the sum of points for the indicators under consideration by their number. As a result of a comprehensive analysis, it was revealed that the socio-ecological tension of the city of Sibay includes: Gorny (3,7) Yuzhny (3,2) Center (2,7) Gold (2,6) Eastern (2,4) Fishermans House (2,3) Arkaim (1,6). The use of the category of socio-ecological tension in the proposed interpretation makes it possible to identify sociological problems of behavior and society. The results of the study are recommended to be used for a comprehensive analysis of indicators for monitoring urbanized territories of a mining region, which determine its environmental safety and sustainable development, ranking the territory as well as a set of economically justified measures to include them in the programs of strategic development of the region.
