Coal and the environment abstract series: bibliography on disposal of refuse from coal mines and coal cleaning plants

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5768075
Numerous public and private efforts have contributed to the knowledge concerning coal's environmental problems and to their control. This knowledge is well documented, and BCR has been extensively involved in compiling and disseminating it. One facet of this activity has been the establishment of environmental libraries at BCR for use by the public as well as the coal industry, and the publication of bibliographies of abstracts based on these collections. This volume is the second to appear in the Coal and Environment Abstract Series and the third environmentally related volume of abstracts prepared by BCR. The subjects covered in this bibliography include the analysis and characterization of coal refuse; various methods of handling, storing, and disposing of coal refuse; the environmental problems such as refuse drainage quality and combustion of refuse piles; the control of environmental problems; and the uses for refuse which have been investigated. In addition to the abstracts, this volume includes an Author Index and a General Index. Much of the literature abstracted here is available from large libraries, government agencies issuing particular reports, or from the authors. Complete citations have been given so that the reader can obtain material from these sources. We would appreciate receiving copies of any publications not listed here. Any other suggestions, comments, or criticism of this publication are welcomed.
