There was examined flotation method of ashes and slags materials’ treatment from power plants. There was proposed distinctive method for ash and slag waste’s preparation before their subsequent treatment by means of biological leaching. Principle of proposed method is following. Ash wastes that generated during the coal burning are mixed with obtaining of fine suspension, in which carbon-bearing reagent is added. Flotation treatment of water suspension is carrying out at mechanical flotation machine with flotation time 15-18 min and air flow 0, 7-0, 8 m3/min. Flotation tail in the form of cleaned ash suspension enters for separation in open hydro cyclone. In doing so thickened product in the form of ashen product with moisture about 85-90 per cents diverts at special storage yard, and drainage from hydro cyclone is treated by cation-active flocculate, for example “Praestol” type, and afterwards directs to cleaning and pressure flotation plant. There were positive results obtained with improved efficiency of rare earth metals extraction by means of biological leaching.

There were considered aspects of water and water supply privatization, public-private partnership in water supply, payments for water use, water and human rights. There are outlined principles and regulatory requirements to privatization.

There was considered trend data of environmental performances for 2007-2012 in the field of water use, air emissions, production and consumption waste generation and recovery. On the base of State statistical reporting, it was identified that in the field of water use observes trend of reduce of water abstraction from natural sources for production needs and reduce of discharge in surface water bodies. For monitoring of water bodies state in the area of enterprises JSC "ALROSA" activities carrying oout operational environmental monitoring of surface waters' hydrochemical composition. Among the gaseous and liquid substances discharged in air predominantly by mining and benefication plants and heating enterprises, in order of importance are carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOC), hydrocarbons and other gaseous and liquid substances. For the purpose of air condition's monitoring, Company developed and implemented different air protection measures, preventing and reducing level of impact on ambient air. Company holds activities, directed on increase of recovery and sanitation of main production waste. The hazardous wastes are decontaminated by efforts of Company's enterprises and specialized contractors.

There was carried out analysis of concentration in air hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, Sulphur dioxide, phenol, formaldehyde and other ecotoxicants. There was determined that ambient air's pollution level in Tobolsk-City is low: integrated index of aerial contamination for the two last years not exceeds two. There was carried out sample collection of snow accordant with GOST 17.1.5.05-85 in settlement zone of Tobolsk-City within the territory of wildlife reserve of regional significance "Abalakskij natural-historic complex" and sanitary protection zone of Tobolsk industrial site's enterprises. Snow covering on study areas differed by pH value, which was in range of 4,85 – 5,65. Reaction of snow melt was weal acid practically on all sample area. Dispersion of indicators of snow covering mineralization was more prominent: from 0,11 g/l to 0,4 – 0,44 g/l. According obtained data, concentration of heavy metal, presented in dissolved form, was small, but fluctuated in sufficient wide range (high dispersion): cadmium – from 0,00009 to 0,0001 mg/l; lead – from 0,0001
to 0,001 mg/l; nickel – from 0,0001 to 0, and by index of systemic toxicity of snow melt, defined by means of biotesting method on radish seeds and sprouts of garden cress. There was defined that snow melt from all considered sample areas didn't inhibition action on roots elongation and stem of sprouts of garden cress. At determining of total level of man-made impact was gain a good reputation assessment of fluctuating asymmetry of bilateral organisms. There was identified that on sample areas, laid downed on the territory of "Abalakskij natural-historic complex" observed the next conformity: with distance from population center indexes of eafs' asymmetry reduced from 0,061 to 0,04. There were studied cuts of needle from common pine on experimental sited.

In an emergency of oil pipe is arising danger of underground and surface waters’ pollution in consequence of petroleum product entry into aquifers, rivers and water reservoirs. Number of emergencies accounts for on the events of blow-out pipe joints during disturbance of oil pipe’s reference position, because of floating up of pipeline part, bottom of trench’s up warp etc. Qualitative preliminary desaturation of future pipeline route and route roads could be the one of factors decreasing probability of pipeline failure when in operation. For that and, likely, could be use peat industry’s experience, where developed technology of highly watered swamps drainage, allowing at tight schedule secure gradual settlement of route surface and contraction of high layers up to bearing capacity, sufficient for unconstrained translation of mechanisms and succeeding quality workmanship for immediate pipe laying.
