Environmental Effects of Coal Technologies, Research Needs: A Report to the Federal Interagency Committee on the Health and Environmental Effects of Energy Technologies

摘要

This report is an assessment of environmental effects research needs associated with the coal-based technologies of conventional coal, chemical coal cleaning, fluidized bed combustion, magnetohydrodynamics, coal-oil mixtures, cocombustion with municipal solid waste, and in situ coal gasification. Background information providing technology descriptions, and characterization of air emissions, water effluents, and physical disturbances associated with these technologies is provided in another report.
