Abstract: Two major groups of environmental problems of Kuznetsk Coal Basin are discussed: firstly, the investigation of the current state of pollution level and its monitoring and secondly, pollution reduction research and technologies. Justification and development of methods, approaches, and instruments ensuring the integrated and systemic determination of pollutants that have a negative impact on the environment during coal production and conversion are given. The presence of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and its metabolites in environmental objects is explored in detail. The content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in various metamorphic states of coal is determined by modern analytical methods. The composition of solid wastes from coal production and conversion and the distribution of gross, mobile, and water-soluble forms of toxic elements and organic compounds therein are investigated. The issue of toxic fine coal materials formed during coal production, transportation, preparation, and conversion is considered. The composition of gaseous pollutants entering the atmospheric air from coal-beds is explored. To address pollution reduction issues, a number of catalytic processes are suggested. Among them is combustion of fuels, including low-grade coal in a fluidised catalyst bed, catalytic heat generators to reduce emissions of toxic nitrogen oxides and products of incomplete combustion. Honeycomb catalysts for abatement of nitrogen oxides emissions in flue gases of existing furnace plants are used. Key findings for a wide range of chemical reactions, such as the processing of coal-bed methane into highly valuable commercial products, oxidative coupling, autothermal reforming, and synthesis of carbon nanofibers and hydrogen, are presented. Research results regarding the formation of coal-bed methane hydrates and approaches to their utilization are briefly described. The paper provides a review of works on the development and research of carbon sorbents directly from Kuzbass coal to address environmental issues of the region itself.
