At present, in the North oil producing regions of our country formed large areas of peaty soils, contaminated by petroleum products. This material could consider as potential reserve of local fuel. Experimental investigations showed that from one ton of contaminated peat could be receive as marketable output: 160 kg of semi coke, 113 kg of gas, and 270 kg of light liquid petroleum products (heating oil). Semi coke could be processed into environmentally safe smokeless fuel in the form of briquettes of catalytic oxidation. On the basis of Krzhizhanovsky Power Engineering Institute’s development there is possibility of work on design mobile complex for recovery and processing of contaminated peat in situ. Tentative productivity of complex on raw feedstock is 6000 tons per year. We could receive in the form of marketable output 1000 tons of catalytic oxidation’s briquettes and 1400 tons of liquid petroleum products. Consequently, there is could be partially solve a problem of integration of cheap (and in this context lose) local fuel in fuel and energy balance of region. Furthermore, the operation of such complex intrinsically inserts in program of work on recultivation of areas contaminated by petroleum products. Implementation of represented in this article task will be require complex approach and participation of stakeholders of different type.

The work objectives are securing of environmental safety under condition of raw material resources base’ expansion for production of binding materials by means of usage of man-induced products, validation of raw value of waste blast-furnace slags for production. There was considered recovery of waste blast-furnace slags in the manufacturing of lime-slag binding materials. As a result of waste blast-furnace slags’ recovery (which formerly did not used for binding materials manufacturing) there is decreasing adverse load on environment. There was completed database on mineralogical and oxide composition of waste blast-furnace slags with different origin and samples of lime-slag binding materials, manufactured on the basis of its. Usage of waste blast-furnace slags in the building complex is reasonable for raw material resources base’ expansion for binding materials manufacturing and deceasing of cost of production.

There were considered the issues of briquettes granulating on the basis of different nature waste. Authors carrying out compression tests of different mixtures in the matrix with the channels of constant and variable section. There was defined density and strengths of optimal regimes of granulating process. Carried investigation demonstrated that wood, vegetable and food waste could be granulating in the composition of fuel pellets and complete feed.

For the first time was used ecotol (nonconventional organic fertilizers, a new class of bioactive substances) for the purpose of impact on growth and physiological state of woody species’ transplants of different resistance to man-caused impact. There was specified that presence in ecotol biogenous amines, their precursors and products of oxidative deamination. There was analyzed influence of ecotol on lead mobility in soils of different contamination by given metal, as well as defined total content and labile forms of metals after growth Fraxinus pennylvanica (white ash) and Picea excels(fir spruce). Different species of trees responded not uniform on ecotol application in the conditions of soil contamination by heavy metals. As long as for urban garden and green planting of sanitary protection zone used mainly more resistance to man-caused impacts hard woods, than ecotol will be impact positive effect on physiological state.

There were carrying out\ investigations on application in the function of non-plastic material for ceramic material’s production slag from burning of lignite coal Kansko-Achinsk pool on Krasnoyarsk CHP-2. There was specified that slag with increased content of ferric and calcium oxides and alkalis will be contribute to ceramic materials’ sintering under relatively low temperature of burning. There were presented compositions for ceramic material’s production on the basis of interslate clay and slag from lignite coal’s burning without usage natural conventional materials. Results of  investigations showed that application of slag from coal burning and interslate clay for production of ceramic materials dramatically changes raw material resources base of Russia and decreases environmental tension in regions and allows receive high-strength bricks.

There was offered integral assessment method of ecological situation in Russian cities. There was proposed a man-made impact study method in the cities taking into account not only integral index, but pollutions in existing system of settlement. It is important research task, because the main social and environmental consequences of territorial economic structure transformation could be estimate by means of quantity of people living in conditions of different pollution degrees. There was made a typology of 1100 Russian cities by the ratio of internal pollution potential and “induced” pollution from other cities, calculated as potential of man-made impact field. There were given priority measures on the improvement of ecological situation in different types of cities and regions.

There were conducted trials of road mixes on the basis of bulk waste of production such as worked-out propping agent, regenerated zeolite, waste of terephthalic acid production (WTAP).
