Assessment of the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels at enterprises of fuel-energy complex
Incoming article date: 14.09.2015In article authors considered organic types of fuel as the most widespread sources of obtaining thermal and electric energy at the enterprises of fuel and energy complex. The prevailing types of organic fuel – natural gas, coal, fuel oil are revealed, and also the composition of flue gases depending on a type of the burned organic fuel is analysed. So, when burning natural gas the main polluting substances are nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides. When burning liquid fuel oxides of sulfur and ashes are added to them. Coal burning, besides above-mentioned substances, leads to receipt to the air basin firm particles, particles (flying ashes) consisting from the zolovykh, not burned down solid fuel and soot. Negative impact of the enterprises of fuel and energy complex on environment components is investigated. In the conclusion authors drew a conclusion that, in comparison with other types of organic fuel, burning of natural gas does the minimum harm to environment.
