Abstract

The utilization of waste from coal and petroleum extraction and processing is of critical importance today. Classical disposal methods, such as incineration or burial, are ineffective and environmentally harmful. The present work shows that the environmental impact of such waste may be reduced if it is used in fuels based on water suspensions. Mixtures containing oil slurries, filter cake from coking coal, and sawdust are considered. The concentration of sulfur and nitrogen oxides formed in combustion is determined. Various characteristics of the emissions from the fuels containing the waste are determined. The combustion of fuels containing these components in different proportions may decrease anthropogenic SO2 and NOx emissions by 4–48% and 16–39%, respectively.
