Sustainable Management of Coal Preparation explains both the upstream and downstream of coal preparation, stressing clean coal technologies for coal utilization. It not only discusses the sustainability of coal preparation, but also considers the governance and management issues that come with fulfilling economic, social and environmental obligations of a sustainable mining operation. Divided in three parts, the book explains the preparation of coking and non-coking coal, clean technologies, the principles of sustainable management and emerging management issues. The inclusion of case studies also provides a practical perspective for the planning and design of coal preparation activities and environmental management.
- Offers an integrated approach to pursue sustainable management between mining, coal preparation and final use of coal
- Explains the economic aspects of coal preparation in a modern/developing society with zero-waste concept
- Compiles the best technologies from around the world
- Uses India, a developing country, as a case study to apply technologies where there is maximum potential for application and benefit
