Innovative synergy of by-products, waste minimization and clean technologies in metallurgy

Realization of the innovative technological solutions proposed project in the field of extractive metallurgy. Financial profit in industrial companies is achieved, simultaneously with the reduction of the primary raw materials consumption, minimization of treatment costs and waste disposal, and reduction of the negative impacts of industrial development on the environment. For the metallurgy of iron and steel are expected technological solutions of EAFD applications in the production of ceramics and construction materials. By using alternative reducing agents and dust from e-waste recycling, with heavy metal content, positive synergetic effect will be achieved by using hazardous waste in the secondary metallurgy of Pb, with energy savings and minimizing the amount of hazardous waste. For the metallurgy of Cu, technological solution will be given for stabilization of toxic components of waste sludge from treatment of smelter waste water, which could be implemented as a project. Moreover, minimization of useful components in metallurgical slag from Cu concentrate flash smelting, after slow cooling, segregation of components and sulfide flotation is economically justifiable, supported by technological solutions valorization of flotation tailings. It is expected that more technological solutions for the production of advanced materials, catalyst from the by-product of hydrometallurgical treatment of nonferrous and precious metals from e-waste recycling process will be developed.
