Since coal has been and will continue to be an essential resource for energy, it warrants sustainable development and management. Using clean coal technology, a coal-based energy sector is emerging to meet the demand generated by the installation of a large number of coal preparation plants particularly in countries like India. Since coal preparation starts at the mine face, the objective of Sustainable Management of Coal Preparation is to explain the upstream as well as the downstream of coal preparation stressing clean coal technologies for coal utilization. The book 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, Sustainable Management of Coal Preparation 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 making Sustainable Management of Coal Preparation a useful resource to mining and coal professionals. Offers an integrated approach to pursue sustainable management between mining, coal preparation and final use of coalExplains the economic aspects of coal preparation in a modern/developing society with zero-waste conceptCompiles the best technologies from around the world uses India, a developing country, as a case study to apply these technologies where there is maximum potential for application and benefit INDICE: 1.
