THE QUESTION OF CHOOSING ECOLOGY-COMPATIBLE TECHNOLOGIES OF PEAT DEPOSITS DEVELOPMENT
Influence of existing technologies to work out peat deposits (carved, hydraulic, excavation, milling, milled-moulded ways of extraction) on resistance of surrounding landscapes to technogenic impact has been analyzed. Data of the change of physical-technical properties and peat chemical compound at stages of peat raw materials extraction have been generalized while various technologies of peat extraction are used. It has been shown that peat raw materials, having passed through a technological chain a deposit - processing shop, essentially differs by chemical composition that should be considered to arrange manufactures of various peat-based products of national consumption. It has been shown that making a choice of technologies to develop peat deposits it is necessary to take into consideration the size of the area and geological stocks of a peat deposit; geo-morphological confinedness of the deposits; value of peat as raw materials for various directions of use; the forecast of changes of physical-technical properties and a peat chemical composition when using these or other technologies of extraction; the forecast of consequences of the development of a peat deposit for environment; a direction of use of a peat deposit after peat raw materials are cutover; economic efficiency of a peat deposit development.
