Use of the Ferroalloys Production Wastes
Problems caused by a deterioration in the quality of mineral raw materials and the growing volumes of industrial wastes in the Ferroalloy industry. Overview of decisions aimed at implementation of resource-saving technologies and utilization of technogenic raw materials. It is shown that the absence of cross-cutting schemes of waste recycling at the Ferroalloy enterprises often due to their low economic efficiency and involve high capital and operating costs. However, reducing the amount of waste in the Ferroalloy industry improves the ecological situation in the area of location of the business, and thus, indirectly reduces public expenditure. Proposed measures for the modernization of the smelter and auxiliary equipment, including: construction of new melting units, equipped with modern systems of gas purification and DC furnaces allowing to work with pieceless raw material; development of a rational approach to the use of different kinds of natural mineral and technogenic raw materials on the basis of its integrated technical-economic assessment.
