coal-fired power plants, a significant amount of residues is produced, depending on the technical parameters of coal separation and firing equipment. A large quantity of solid and fly ash and, in the case of flue gas desulphurisation, REA gypsum and wash-water is produced. The quantity of residues depends primarily on the ash and sulphur content of the fuel.Coal has a significant role in energy production and represents a considerable quantity in electric energy generation. At the turn of the millenary, about 4 billion tones of black coal and 800 million tones of brown coal and lignite are produced in the world annually. Depending on the ash content of the coals it varies between 5-8% and 30-35% , the quantity of solid and fly ash produced by firing is 1.0-1.5 billion tones per year. The quantity of residues of this kind accumulated in the past amounts to 100 billion tones.As far as the residues of coal-fired power plants are concerned, the annual fuel demand of the power plants of the Rhenish brown coal basin, where the average ash content of lignite is 7% and the average sulphur content is 0.2-0.8%, is 1 Mt referred to a power plant capacity of 100 MW. 60-70 kt solid + fly ash and, in the case of flue gas desulphurisation, 12-15 kt of gypsum is produced annually, referred to a capacity of 100 MW. In the East German areas, after the reconstruction of power plants, 30-50 kt of fly ash and, because of the higher sulphur content, 25-30 kt of gypsum and 4-5000 m3 of wash-water is produced annually, referred to a capacity of 100 MW.The composition of Hungarian lignite is significantly different to that of Rhenish brown coal. The ash content and combustible sulphur content of domestic lignite is considerably higher. The ash content of lignite varies between 15 and 25%, the average is 20%. In Visonta, 160-200 tones of solid + fly ash is produced annually, referred to a power plant capacity of 100 MW. With the flue gas desulphuriser installed recently, one can expect a gypsum quantity of 40-60 kt/year, referred to a capacity of 100 MW.
