Reclamation of the ash and slag landfill Gacko - B H

Technological process of coal combustion in thermal power plants produces the certain amounts of ash and slag that have to be transported and disposed at the selected location - landfill. Disposal of ash and slag from the power plant Gacko in Gacko, Bosnia and Herzegovina, was done in the cassette II, formed in the excavation area of the open pit Gračanica. With the need for a new space for disposal of ash and slag, the solution was found in forming the cassette III below the existing cassette II. After completion of exploitation and achieving the designed elevation of 940 meters above the sea level, the reclamation is carried out of all cassettes, which permanently eliminate any negative impact of ash from the landfill on the surrounding living space and air.
