Annotation.A feature of modern coal preparation plants (CPP) in Russia is the use of closed water slime schemes (without discharging slurry water outside the plant to external waste dumps) and the lack of thermal drying of small classes of coal due to their effective mechanical dewatering. As a result, a significant amount (up to 10-12% of the volume of coal processing at the plan) of toxic fine-dispersed coal-enrichment waste (FDCEW) with a particle size of less than 0.5 mm, humidity of 30-45% and ash content of 25-65% appeared. This product is not in demand on the market, it is very difficult to process and, as a rule, it is shipped outside the factory with the breed or separately by road to waste dumps or sludge collectors. Considering the high toxicity of the FDCEW, due to the presence on the surface of particles of flocculants and coagulants used on CPP, which have carcinogenic and mutagenic effects, the storage of such wastes is associated with a high hazard, which creates significant environmental problems in the region. To solve the problem of using the FDCEW, a technology and a set of equipment have been developed for obtaining on their basis suspension coal-water fuel (CWF) and its efficient combustion with the capture and disposal of ash and slag waste (SW) generated. In addition, it is intended to use the fuel obtained at coal-steam plants (CSP) and regional hydro-electric power plants (RHEPP). In this case, by increasing the volume of combustion, an economic and ecological effect is achieved.
