Improvement of environmental indicators of coal energy and agricultural production due to the integration and diversification of these industries

Abstract

At present, there is extensive experience in the use of sulfuric acid ameliorant for soils with soda type of salinity. The authors found that as a result of using a weak solution of sulfuric acid on soils containing sodium and hydrocarbonates in their salt composition, their agrochemical characteristics are significantly improved. The article presents the results that show that the production of fertilizers and ameliorants from the waste of energy enterprises will increase their environmental safety. The use of sulfur oxides captured from the flue gases of coal-fired energy enterprises as a raw material for the production of sulfuric ameliorant will allow solving a double task: to reduce pollution of the zone of influence of enterprises and improve the condition of lands with soda salinization.
