Abstract

The enrichment of hard coal is one of the stages of mineral resources management. It is aimed at adapting its quality parameters to different recipients' requirements, considered as a stage of mineral resources management. This process is treated as a stage of clean coal technologies or as a process of improving the economics of mining plants, which takes place in the Mechanical Coal Processing Plant (ZMPW). Adaptation of the quality of commercial coal products to the needs of specific recipients consists of removing useless components of the excavated material. In this publication, factors having a negative impact on the environment as a result of the refining process of useful minerals carried out at the Mechanical Coal Processing Plant were analyzed. All departments and workstations in the Mechanical Coal Processing Plant (ZMPW) were analyzed. The measurement results and proposals of solutions which have an impact on reducing the nuisance of working conditions on people working in these places were presented. The analysis results show that noise is an important factor influencing work comfort. The actions taken by the Plant will allow eliminating the negative impact of equipment emitting excessive noise on the environment. The process related to the processing and adaptation of coal to market requirements was also analyzed. This analysis of the production process allowed to determine the impact that this process has or may have on the natural environment. The presented results were obtained from one of the Hard Coal Mines of the Polish Mining Group S.A.
