Waste Minimization in Steel Mills and Environmental Impacts of Metals

Purpose of Education

The environmental impact mechanisms of metals in general, their effects and the basic protection methods to be followed will be examined and the basic rules to be followed in waste generation and minimization of waste on the example of the enterprise producing steel from scrap with EAF will be evaluated. In addition, the basic applications that should be taken into account today's technological level will be explained. In this context, the main purpose of the training is to provide the participants with the necessary knowledge and experience in this field by presenting the basic methods and applications that they can discuss in their own businesses by including the applications made in the industry.

Education  target

At the end of this training, all participants;

  • Environmental problems; air, noise, water, soil and cultural environment,

  • General definitions of metals and environment, pollution, mechanisms of action of metals on living things,

  • Emission mechanisms of metals to the environment, short and long-term effects,

  • Overview of iron and steel production techniques and "Best Techniques" in steel mills from an environmental point of view,

  • Wastes generated in steel mills and EAF facilities,

  • Examples of different environmental precautions and waste minimization practices from around the world,

  • They will gain knowledge and skills on industrial waste and energy saving practices from our country.
