COAL ASH – TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2017.01-03.073-083
Abstract
The article represents a summary of coal ash production and use in the countries world-wide as well as the forecast of its change in view of coal consumption trends up to 2030. It includes information on the status and the definition of coal ash in different countries. It provides an assessment of the impact of terminology on the efficiency of addressing the coal ash problem in Russia. A new legal definition of ash from thermal power plants and boiler-houses, corresponding to the state-of-the-art conditions, global trends and requirements of the coal energy sector is formulated. This definition can both start discussion about the need of new optimal determination of the ash status in the energy sector, and serve as a legal basis for the actual implementation of the best available technologies of the world level to the coal ash handling systems in Russia. It is proposed to extend to coal ash, intended for use as commercial products, the operation of legal and regulatory documents related to mineral mined natural resources and non-metallic materials, in addition to legal, regulatory and technical documents specially developed for coal ash wherever not in conflict with them.
