The article is seeking to analyse the coal transition in three Polish lignite regions as part of scientific discussion on a just transition, which big challenge, especially and countries dependent their own deposits main source energy. mines are now entering phase-out coal, results from implementing assumptions Green Deal Paris climate agreement. answers following question: what socio-economic ...

The acidity of mine water generally makes it toxic to most organisms. The gills, kidneys and livers of Anabas testudineus Bloch fish inhabiting the acidic water (pH 2-4) of an unused lignite mine in Li District, Lamphun Province, Thailand were examined and compared to those of farmed fish. Tissue abnormalities were found in all investigated organs. Deterioration and telangiectasia of gill filam...

A new fossil species of salticid spider (Araneae: Salticidae) is described based on an amber-embedded specimen. The specimen was collected from lignite-sandstone early-mid Miocene sediments near the town of Totolapa in Chiapas, southwestern Mexico. The diagnosis and description is supported by key characters that best match the genus Maevia Koch, 1846. Thus, this new fossil species has been nam...

In this work, the ash fusibility behaviour of selected agricultural residues and their blends with lignite was studied, by carrying out chemical, mineralogical, thermogravimetric analyses calculating slagging/fouling indicators for predicting deposition tendencies in boilers. Two additives, bauxite, clinochlore, were used at varying amounts to reduce melting, followed examining anti-fusion mech...

The peculiarities of the technology hybrid modification lignite humic acids biodegradable films based on hydroxypropylmethylcellulose are considered. As a result conducted research, with antibacterial properties were obtained for first time. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose Walocel brand was used production films, and citric acid (99.88%) according to GOST 3652 is as catalyst crosslinking polymer f...

Abstract In the fight against global warming, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a major objective. particular, decrease in electricity generation by coal could contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. We study potential economic consequences phase-out Germany, using multi-region dynamic general equilibrium model. Four regional scenarios before end 2040 are simulated. find that worst case sc...

Hydrothermal carbonisation is a promising technology for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation through landfill avoidance and power generation, as it can convert high-moisture wastes into bio-coal which be used coal substitution. The GHG potential associated with of food waste (FW) generated in India, China the EU was calculated substitution to replace either grid energy, hard coal, or lignite consum...
