Anthropogenic Resources of Carbon Series of Eastern Donbass and Prospects of Their Use in Ceramic Industry

High prospects of involvement of anthropogenic resources of the carbon series for production of various products of building ceramics are shown. The conditions of their formation and related features of industrial use as ceramic raw materials are presented. Anthropogenic coal deposits, according to technical, economic and environmental indicators, have a number of advantages over natural deposits of similar raw materials. One of the solutions to the problem of utilization of mining waste, and enrichment of coal stored in huge quantities (300–400 million tons) in the coal-mining areas of Eastern Donbass in waste piles, is their use as an anthropogenic clay stone-like raw material for producing high-strength construction and clinker bricks, the actual use is currently 5–10%. However, the mineral composition of the waste pile material depends on the system of opening of coal deposits and the type of formation of dumps. The specific character of the coal bed uncovering in Donbass, determining the formation of three main types of dumps: combustible dumps of mine workings in the mine field; dumps of combined uncovering; unburned sorted dumps, is described. It is established that the latter are the most promising for the ceramic industry. Studies show that the rocks, composing anthropogenic deposits of the carbon range, are not environmentally hazardous mineral raw materials, meet the requirements of SanPiN and can be used without restrictions.
