Description
Summary:The aim of this paper is to monitor the operation of the Flotation Plant Kopaonik - Leposavić, where the technological process of flotation of lead-zink ore is carried out, with special reference to the sources of pollution created during in the given technological process. The pollution caused by the technological process of lead-zinc ore flotation in the Flotation Plant 'Kopaonik' Leposavić can be divided into three groups: water pollution, soil pollution and air pollution. This work wants to emphasize the importance of mining production sustainable development in near future, strengthening of ecological awareness, development of ecological volunteer activities and implementation of more and more stringent environmental standards. The constant increase in the cost of protection to date is a consequence of continuous improvements of both legal regulations and general ecological awareness.
