Abstract

The purpose of this study is to note the influence of coal on environmental pollution and introduce solutions for the removal of this pollutions. Environmental problems caused by coal production and use can be improved or efficiently addresses during processing, recovery, conversion, or reclamation. Coal is a dominant primary source of chemical energy and the production of power and the major source of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. The demand for these coal products is rising throughout the world. This demand in traditional markets is rising steadily. Coal is very important for the development of countries; therefore, effective use is vital for energy-poor countries. If the negative effects (or impacts) of coal on the environment are handled successfully, it can have a bright future. Clean coal technologies (CCT) are needed to utilize coal in an environmentally acceptable way and to improve coal utilization efficiency. Clean coal technology (CCT) is the main issue to maintain a clean environment and economically viable way. Carbon sequestration and electrostatic and fabric filters are the other techniques control techniques for pollution of coal mining.
