DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe goal of this study was to develop and evaluate an integrated instream monitoring methodology, termed the Cedar Cove model, for the surface disposal of coal-seam methane production waters. The integrated approach consists of chemical-specific effluent monitoring, toxicological evaluation of the whole-effluent, instream bioassessment, and continual water-quality monitoring of the receiving stream. Additionally, this report reviews research relative to biological risk and water-quality characteristics of coal-seam methane production waters.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of this report is to (1) summarize water quality and biomonitoring studies of coal-seam produced waters in Alabama; and (2) to present a monitoring approach for evaluating the risk, and acceptability of surface discharge for certain produced waters. The integrated monitoring approach, termed the Cedar Cove model, was developed for produced waters derived from the development of methane from coal seams in Alabama. The integrated monitoring approach consists of chemical-specific effluent monitoring, toxicological evaluation of the produced water, instream bioassessment, and continual water-quality monitoring of the receiving stream.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is an integrated approach towards the applications of coal (organic) petrology and discusses the role of this science in the field of coal and coal-related topics. Coal petrology needs to be seen as a continuum of organic (macerals) and inorganic (minerals and trace elements) contributions to the total coal structure, with the overprint of coal rank. All this influences the behavior of coal in utilization, the coal by-products, the properties of coal as a reservoir for methane or a sequestration site for carbon dioxide, and the relationships of coal utilization with health and environmental issues. The interaction of coal properties and coal utilization begins at the mine face. The breakage of the coal in mining influences its subsequent beneficiation. Beneficiation is fundamental to the proper combustion of coal and is vital to the preparation of the feedstock for the production of metallurgical coke. An understanding of basic coal properties is important for achieving reductions in trace element emissions and improving the efficiency of combustion and combined-cycle gasification. The production of methane from coal beds is related to the properties of the in situ coal. Similarly, coal bed sequestration of carbon dioxide produced from combustion is dependent on the reservoir properties. Environmental problems accompany coal on its way from the mine to the point of utilization and beyond. Health aspects related with coal mining and coal utilization are also included because, in planning for coal use, it is impossible to separate environmental and health issues from the discussion of coal utilization. The book is aimed at a wide audience, ranging from researchers, lecturers and students to professionals in industry and discusses issues (such as the environmental, and health) that are of concern to the general public as a whole. This book focuses on the applications of coal (organic) petrology to our modern society It is an integrated approach to help the reader appreciate the importance of coal quality and coal utilization. Coal composition (macerals, mineral, trace elements) and the overprint of coal rank are treated together The book synthesises all the possibilities of the organic petrology as a tool for coal utilization in conventional applications (mining and beneficiation, coal combustion, gasification, liquefaction, carbonization), as a precursor of carbon materials and as a petroleum source and reservoir rock The role of applied petrology in the characterization of solid by-products from coal utilization is also discussed In addition, this book describes the present status of environmental and health problems linked to coal utilization and the ways in which such problems might be overcome in the future
