Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The article describes the analysis of theoretical and applied aspects of ecological risk management in terms of coal mining and processing companies, as well as assigns and solves tasks on identification of ecological risks, assessment of probability of undesired events, determination of structure of probable damage, assessment of risk, estimation of technological and organizational methods and measures of influence on ecological risk to reduce and avoid it, and decision-making on practical introduction of particular risk management and control measures. The groups of technological and organizational measures aimed to minimize or neutralize risks are considered. The key result of the research is the package of measures of ecological risk reduction, in particular: technologies of ultradeep purification of dielectric liquids; introduction of processing equipment for used-up tyres of heavy open pit dump trucks; formation and updating of quality management system; improvement of efficiency of reclamation of disturbed lands; treatment of hydraulic mining and coal processing waste.
