Control of thermal conditions in the grinding zone is possible through effective delivery of substances with cooling, lubricating and antiadhesive properties during the machining process. In addition to the benefits of coolants, however, a number of economic and ecological problems arise, which include the costs of purchase, use and maintenance as well as the environmental impact of its disposal. These negative aspects of the use of cooling and lubricating liquids have contributed to the modern trend of minimizing their output in machining processes, including grinding. This article presents comprehensive characteristics of knowledge in the field of liquids, gases and solids with cooling, lubricating and antiadhesive properties. The author’s original classification of cooling and lubricating agents by their physical state was proposed and a complete list of known modern environmentally friendly methods of cooling and lubrication of the grinding zone was presented. In order to highlight their beneficial features, the background of conventional methods of delivery coolants, lubricants and antiadhesives to the grinding zone used for years were also characterised. A comprehensive list of all known methods of cooling and lubrication of the grinding zone classified according to the physical state of the delivered medium with a clear separation of hybrid methods consisting in simultaneous delivery of many cooling and lubricating agents was described in the summary. The article concludes with the characteristics of directions of further development in the field of cooling and lubrication of the grinding zone.

通过在加工过程中有效地输送具有冷却，润滑和抗粘特性的物质，可以控制研磨区的热条件。但是，除了冷却剂的好处外，还出现了许多经济和生态问题，包括购买，使用和维护的成本以及其处置对环境的影响。使用冷却和润滑液体的这些负面影响促成了现代趋势，即在包括磨削在内的机械加工过程中将其产量降至最低。本文介绍了具有冷却，润滑和抗粘特性的液体，气体和固体领域知识的综合特征。提出了作者对冷却剂和润滑剂的物理状态的原始分类，并提出了已知的现代环保的磨削区冷却和润滑方法的完整清单。为了突出它们的有益特征，还描述了将冷却剂，润滑剂和抗粘剂输送到使用了多年的磨削区的常规方法的背景。概述中概述了所有已知的磨削区冷却和润滑方法的完整列表，该方法根据所输送介质的物理状态进行分类，并明确区分了混合方法，该方法包括同时输送许多冷却剂和润滑剂。
