Employing Industrial Waste in Sinter and Hot-Metal Production

详细

One measure of the effectiveness of environmental management at AO EVRAZ ZSMK is how much the waste sent to storage is decreased as a result of recycling. Environmental measures may be assessed in terms of the decrease in environmental impact and decrease in the consumption of natural materials in production. The best approach is to use waste in the production of sinter and hot metal. The blast furnace is well suited to the utilization or incineration of various wastes because it contains a high-temperature oxidative zone and a large volume with reducing properties. A waste-recycling technology has been proposed for use at Russian steel works. It requires no capital expenditure and produces sinter and hot metal at low cost. This method meets global environmental standards.
