    Wiercenie i wykorzystanie otworów chłonnych do zatłaczania wód kopalnianych

    Researches and works on limiting emissions of contaminations to water, soil and air have been conducted for years. Coal mines have to tackle this problem as well. As it is not possible to completely eliminate contaminants an idea occurred to inject discharge mine's waters into absorptive layers or to special retention tanks, instead of surface waters. This concept is very interesting owing to a very high pollution of surface and groundwaters in the areas with the on-going underground exploitation. Discharging of mine's waste waters to the rock mass produces financial profits in the form of reduced expenditures on treatment operations and lowering of contaminations in water and ground environments. Technical aspects of performing an injection well for discharge mine's waters in the area of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin are presented in the paper.
