Transition of Valuable Metals from Primorye Brown Coals into the Products of Their Energy Technological Use

The results of analytical studies of Primorye coals and their combustion products are presented. Valuable impurity elements were detected in coals, fly ash, and slag, whose concentrations reached minimum industrial ore levels. The regularities of the transition of impurity elements of coals from brown coal deposits in Primorye (the Pavlovsk, Bikinsk (Nizhne-Bikinsk), and Shkotovsk deposits) were found. The volumes of emissions of various metals into the atmosphere and the environment were determined.
