| Abstract | Heat instalments used for de-icing of roads are costly at the stage of investment but beneficial in terms of safety. If plants employing mine waters are close to roads, thermal energy for de-icing can be obtained at very little cost; this factor is crucial in the present study. A scheme for the use of mine waters and the waste heat from industrial instalments is described. |
