Obiettivo
Descriptions of the individual parts of the project are given below.
The development of an assessment and comparison method of the environmental impacts arising from the management of solid wastes from the coal fuel cycle (CIEMAT)
The aim is to develop environmental assessment methods using a global procedure and evaluating the associated environmental impact.
- Review and analysis of wastes from coal fuel cycle technologies, disposal methods and environmental assessment methodologies.
- Evaluation of existing assessment methods.
- Development of an environmental assessment framework.
- Application of the methodology.
Leaching behaviour of coal refuses (CSIC)
Evaluation of the properties of a wide range of coal mining and utilisation residues from a petrographic and ecotoxic point of view.
- Sampling of wastes (long-term and current wastes from mining, coal preparation and coal combustion.
- Petrographic, mineralogical and elemental characterisation of the materials.
- Laboratory leaching tests under a range of conditions.
- Comparative characterisation of the leached solids.
Sorbent injection FGD waste disposal (IMCL)
Study of the disposal of flue gas desulphurisation residues in working coal mines, and of the possibility of using such residues to neutralise acid mine water.
- Examination of waste from coal-fired power stations in terms of composition, teachability and suitability for recycling or disposal.
- Assessment of availability, feasibility and economic costs of the various modes of off-site disposal, including the use of underground depositories, with a review of available depository structures.
- Review of hazards associated with handling the waste materials and the methods of delivery.
- Examination of the ability of the possibility of mitigating pollution from acid mine drainage at source.
Management of coal mine slag heaps as urban solid waste garbage dumps (AITEMIN)
The aim of this project is to use existing mine spoil tips as a repository for municipal waste. The principle objective is to develop a tool to aid decisions about the potential utilisation of such tips for dumping urban solid wastes on the basis of tip characteristics, the type of urban waste and the disposal methodology.
- Classification of mine tips in terms of capacity and estimated service life as dumps, location and accessibility with respect to waste sources, permeability and compactness of material, geological and geotechnical behaviour, permeability, stability, isolation from surface and underground water, landscape integration and environmental value.
- Study of urban waste characteristics.
- Development of an assessment method for use of mine waste for dumping.
- Application of the assessment method to selected areas.
Joint management of FGD waste and mining residues (ENDESA)
The aim of the research is to assess the feasibility of joint disposal of flue gas desulphurisation residues and mine spoil, with a view to reducing overall disposal costs.
- Study of waste characteristics
- Study of dumps
- Establishment of environmentally acceptable joint management strategies that take into account the criteria of the new Council Directive on landfill
- Evaluation of alternatives
- Application of a specific management strategy on the pilot scale
- Feasibility tests for the final reclamation of the dump
Disposal of solid residues arising from coal (ISSE P)
Study of the use of ash from atmospheric fluidised bed combustion (AFBC) as a stabilising agent for land disposal consolidation and landfill liner construction, with special attention to the disposal of the unusable and often unstable products of spoil heap reclamation. Characterisation and evaluation of the variability of available AFBC residues. Evaluation of the geotechnical properties of AFBC residues with and without additives for use as liners. Assessment of the use of AFBC residues for the stabilisation and/or solidification of mineral residues.
Advanced techniques for understanding and for reducing the impact of final stockpiles of the residues from combustion (CERCHAR)
Study of the impact of piles of ashes from power stations on the ground including those from a range of combustion techniques.
Conditions through a stockpile of residues as a function of the history of the pile and the way in which it was laid down including the migration of metallic elements such as chromium and arsenic and of salts such as sulphates and chlorides through long-standing stockpiles and in the ground underneath will be studied. This will necessitate the taking of core samples, analysis of the samples and of their washings.
The residues resulting from various combustion techniques (fixed bed, pulverised fuel firing, with and without desulphurisation and, eventually, combined cycle operation) will be analysed with particular attention to the washable material. Eventually, specific treatments to reduce the potential of these residues being noxious will be studied with the objective of producing stable residues.
