There were defined their density, strength and thermo physical properties of fuel pellets. There were identified optimal operational parameters of fuel pellets with high thermo physical characteristics at the pilot rotary granulator with flat-faced die.

There were presented the data processing of copper-nickel ores of Polar Division of Publicly Limited Company "Mining and Smelting Enterprise "Norilsk Nickel") (Norilsk Nickel). Production of copper and nickel accompanied by the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. There were considered technologies used for the processing of copper-nickel sulfide ores. There was identified that the only effective way of processing of copper-nickel concentrate is resource-efficient autogenously smelting (flash, oxygen-flare, Vanyukov smelting). The company “Norilsk Nickel” developed the program of the reconfiguration of production facilities, launched in 2015, in which closed the old nickel plant and planned implementation of sulfur project, which will provide a modern and environmentally friendly production in 2020.

There was showed selective modifying additive effect of cerium, magnesium and zinc oxides on the activity and selectivity of zeolite catalyst from pentoxyl group in oxygenates conversion reaction (methanol and dimethyl ether) into liquid hydrocarbons. There was stated that the conversion of oxygenates in the stream of synthesis gas promotes the stable operation of zeolite catalyst, thereby forming a high-octane component of motor gasoline with low durene content (not more than 5% by mass). Obtained results demonstrate the expediency of preparation of hydrocarbons from synthesis gas without isolation step followed by conversion of oxygenates in synthetic gasoline.

There was investigated direction of modification of titanium coagulant by Sulphate process. There was studied the structure and composition of modified coagulants. There were selected the optimal conditions of modification process. There were proven coagulation properties of the resulting coagulant modification by the example of Moscow-City sources of public water supply abstraction. There was found that the modification of Sulphate process allows obtaining a product with high coagulation efficiency and a reduced content of insoluble part.

In Russia, in the Amur Oblast during 84 years by opencast mining developed Raichikhinsk brown coal fields. As a result of fields development was significantly transformed the natural landscape and the ecosystem. On the territory of abandoned sites of brown coal fields forest reclamation was carried out during 1971 – 1990 years. Subsequently grown pine forest served as a source of pine seeds in its natural settling in the surrounding areas of mining landscape. To identify trends and outcomes of ecosystem restoration on the surface of mining landscape conducted appropriate monitoring using multi-temporal remote sensing resources. Concluded that the self-healing high environmental efficiency tree and shrub cover on the waste dumps after the special works on forest land reclamation, by repopulating native species of the Far Eastern hardwood forests and coniferous forest formation under wind scatter seeds from plots of forest reclamation.

Spoil dumps and tailing dumps of mining enterprises are sufficiently serious sources of environmental pollution, including urban agglomerations. For ensuring the uniformity measurements, accompanying ecological and geological studies, it is necessary that the process of testing components of lithogenic sphere of the Earth, and all the measuring information, which is used to calculate the environmental factors and indicators that had been provided and metrological characteristics take into account peculiarities of ecological and geological studies and the appointment of the measurement results. There were considered the main features of the testing when receiving measurement (numerical) information describing the ecological state of the environment components. There was offered the method of calculation of environmental indicators which is based on the requirements of modern metrology and methods of mathematical statistics. Methodology was tested in assessment of ecological status of the territory as a result of anthropogenic impact of oil shale production at OJSC "Leningradslanets".

Updated environmental regulation in Russia advances to regulation based on the principles of best available techniques. Transition is accomplished by introducing a new mechanism, technological process control regulaton. The central idea – process control, rather the environmental impact regulation. The transition regulation to the principals based on technological standards, implemented in the form of "Integrated environmental permits" (IEP). There were considered challenges of a new regulation. There were given the complexity and risks of industrial plants in obtaining IEP.

The use of rocket and space technology as propellant components chemical substances of first and second hazard class allows including space and missile activities to dangerous species. It is notes that the assessment of possible impacts of propellants components on the environment is currently being conducted on the base of the sanitary and hygienic standards without regard to violation of natural ecosystems functioning. There was concluded that in order to ensure the environmental safety of rocket and space activities at the present level necessary to develop new environmental standards of permissible impact on ecosystems in areas of falling spent stages of launch vehicles based on natural features and areas of biological indicators of the state of environment. The obtaining of objective results of the content of volatile and chemically reactive components of propellants in environmental medium requires a strict observance of the rules at all stages of the quantitative chemical analysis.

On today in the Sverdlovsk Oblast in the dumps of mining and smelting industries have accumulated 8.18 billion tons of waste generated in the mining and processing of mineral resources, which adversely affects the ecological situation in the region. Through research of man-made mineral formations (TMF) of Urals identified that 37 % of the occupied lands are experiencing a fairy high degree influence, particularly in the areas of placement of dumps and storage of non-ferrous industry; in addition protective measures to help prevent or mitigate the intensity of anthropogenic impact on the environment, including and on land, there are no or very minimal. One of directions in the development of environmental protection measures is the study of biochemical processes occurring in anthropogenic disturbed ecosystems in the accommodation area of TMF. There were described the results of studies on gas-chemical state of man-made soils within the sanitary protection zone of the enterprise of mining and smelting complex, which indicate the need for geo-ecological assessment of man-made transformation take into account the peculiarities of the distribution of carbon dioxide as an indicator of biological activity and possibilities of self-healing of disturbed ecosystems.

Cleaner production is characterized by reduction of emissions into the environment, resources and sound management. Economical operation of autonomous wind-electric power stations can be achieved by building on the basis of the combustion engines variable speed. In this work was carried out ecological comparison of two options: the traditional with the engine running at a speed of 3000 rev/min and using a control system that provides optimal operation of the engine by changing the number of turns when changing the power load. By reducing fuel consumption the main contribution will have a resource indicators: oil, consumption of fresh water from the source and the amount of waste water, energy consumption, waste generation. Also, it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially in the operation of the engine.
