Comparisonsamong several principal clean coal power-generation technologies show that USCT withpollutant-emission control equipment is superior to others in efficiency, capacity, reliability,investment and environment protection etc. Analyzing the main problems existing in thermalpower industry, it is concluded that the USCT is the preferential choice for China to developclean coal power-generation technology at present. Considering the foundation of thepower industry, the manufacturing industry for power generating equipment and otherrelated industries, it is concluded that China has satisfied the qualifications to develop USCT.展开更多
The current study was carried out to examine the heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn and As) concentration in GW (groundwater) samples in the vicinity of distillery spent wash evaporation ponds and RGW (...The current study was carried out to examine the heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn and As) concentration in GW (groundwater) samples in the vicinity of distillery spent wash evaporation ponds and RGW (reference groundwater) samples collected 2 km to 3 km away from the source. The study examines the potential health risk caused by consumption of heavy metals to local inhabitants living around distillery spent wash evaporation ponds. HM (heavy metals) concentration was determined by AAS (atomic absorption) and the results were compared with permissible limits of PEPA (pakistan environmental Protection Agency) and WHO (World Health Organization), set for industria effluents and drinking water. The health risk assessment such as CDI (chronic daily intake) and HQ (hazard quotient) were determined on the sources ofHM concentration. The cm of heavy metals in GW were found in following decreasing order Fe, Zn, Mn, Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, Cd, Pb and As. The HQ indexes of HM in the GW samples near the distillery spent wash evaporation ponds was in the order As, C, Ni, Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb and Cr. The results showed that the distillery spent wash is the cause for the change in HM contents of the study area.展开更多

Copper production rate is considered as one of the fundamental issues in hydrometallurgical cut-off grades determination. Slags are remarked as one of the main sources of copper. It is not only regarded as a waste but also identified as another resource extracting base metals. Slags are characterized by copper high grade. Thus, slag copper recovery can be led to different cut-off grades and net present value(NPV). The current research scrutinizes the effect of slag recovery by both flotation and hydrometallurgical methods on the hydrometallurgical cut-off grades. For this purpose, the optimum cut-off grade algorithms of hydrometallurgical methods are developed by considering associated environmental parameters, incomes and also the costs. Then, their optimum amounts are calculated with NPV maximization as an objective function. The results indicate that considering slag copper recovery in the hydrometallurgical cut-off grade algorithms reduces the environmental costs caused by slag dumping and leads to more NPV by 9%.展开更多
