Development of environmental costs in mining company after implementation of innovation - cyclone separator

environmental costs of mining companies. Reducing environmental
pollution in mining companies is focused on three strategies. The raw
material intensity decrease is the first strategy. The second strategy is
orientated to changes in the production of environmental products.
The third strategy is directed at the consumption of products and
liquidation after their lifetime. The priority goal of this paper was to
demonstrate the development of environmental costs after the
implementation of cyclone separators focusing on the expenses in the
field of water management. Methods of research were focused on
using index analysis and structure analysis. Base index and chain
index were used in the analysis of the index. The object of the article
was the mining company focused on mining limestone in Slovakia.
The priority problem is the dust of the mining process. The research
brings new solving a cyclone separator in the mining process for
reducing dust. The goal "Operational Program Environment" is to
invest in the water sector, creating mining companies' problems.
Mining companies use water resources for their mining activities.
The results of the study show decreasing in environmental costs.
Water and sewerage fees eliminate by 11.1 %, air pollution charges
by 11.5 %, disposal fees by about 5.2 %, and towing the sump by
1.5 %. The purpose of the mining company is to address
environmental costs as a priority issue related to environmental
protection. Competitive advantage for the mining industry introduces
efficient and acceptable solutions - innovations.
