Major presence of different types of coal in the production of electric and thermal energy indicates the need to use them. On the other hand they are the main factor in the pollution of the environment. Thus we create an absurd situation in which the process and the use of coal with the purpose to enable better life and higher standards of men lead to the degradation of basic living conditions.
This paper will present the impact of coal processing technology in thermal plants on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this paper is to motivate the use of economically and technologically justified technologies in coal exploatation. In this way energy efficiency is increased, which leads to the reduction of energy use and financial savings, and eventually to the increase in the quality of the environment.
Key Words: coal, the environment, energy efficiency
UTICAJ TEHNOLOGIJE PRERADE UGLJA NA KVALITET ŽIVOTNE SREDINE
Velika zastupljenost različitih vrsta ugljeva u proizvodnji električne i toplotne energije ukazuje na neophodnost njihovog korišćenja, a sa druge strane oni su glavni uzročnici zagađenja životne sredine. Tako se stvara apsurdna situacija da postupak i korišćenje uglja, čiji je glavni cilj bolji život i veći standard ljudi, vodi u degradaciju osnovnih životnih uslova.
U ovom radu analiziran je uticaj tehnologije prerade uglja u termoelektranama na kvalitet životne sredine. Cilj ovog rada je motivisanje primene ekonomski i tehnološki isplativih tehnologija za korišćenje uglja. Na taj način povećava se energetska efikasnost, što dovodi do smanjenja potrošnje energije i finansijskih ušteda, a time i povećanje kvaliteta životne sredine.
Ključne reči: ugalj, životna sredina, energetska efikasnost
