Hazardous carbon linings and refractories from metallurgy

The metallurgical industry is one of the most important industries in the world. It provides materials for construction, machine production and other industries. However, along with the huge benefits that this industry brings, it also creates significant environmental problems. One of these problems is the waste of linings and carbon-based refractories, which are used in metallurgical processes and contain hazardous substances.

Carbon-based lining and refractories are an integral part of metallurgical processes. They are used to cover and protect the inner walls of furnaces and other metallurgical installations from high temperatures and aggressive environments. However, over time, these materials wear out and become waste containing hazardous substances such as heavy metals and organic compounds.

Methods of environmental management of hazardous waste linings and carbon-based refractories from metallurgical processes containing hazardous substances are important to reduce their negative impact on the environment. The operations of collecting, sorting, crushing and processing such waste require special equipment and technologies.

Carbon-based lining and refractories waste from metallurgical processes containing hazardous substances. Code according to the National list of waste 16 11 01*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management” D15, D10.

In order to reduce harm from hazardous waste linings and carbon-based refractories, it is necessary to apply modern methods of environmental management. Among them:

• use of recycling technologies to minimize the amount of waste (D10);
• development of new materials with lower toxicity and longer service life;
• implementation of systems for monitoring and controlling the state of waste at all stages of its life cycle.

One ​​of the most effective ways to reduce harm from hazardous waste is the introduction of recycling technologies. These technologies make it possible to reduce the amount of waste that requires special treatment and storage (D15). Recycling also helps conserve natural resources and reduce environmental impact.

Development of new materials with lower toxicity and longer service life is an important direction. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of hazardous waste generated during the operation of metallurgical plants. New materials must be resistant to high temperatures and aggressive environments, but at the same time not contain dangerous substances.

The introduction of systems for monitoring and controlling the state of waste at all stages of its life cycle is another important measure. This allows timely detection and elimination of problems related to hazardous waste, reducing risks to the environment and human health. Monitoring includes regular checks of the state of waste, analysis of its composition, and control over transportation and processing processes.

Management of hazardous waste linings and carbon-based refractories from metallurgical processes containing hazardous substances must be integrated into the overall strategy of sustainable industrial development. This includes the development of environmental technologies, implementation of environmental management systems, and raising the level of environmental awareness among employees and management of enterprises.

Cooperation with scientific institutions and research centers is also an important component of effective hazardous waste management. Scientific research helps to develop new technologies and methods of waste treatment that can be implemented in practice. This helps to reduce damage to the environment and increase the efficiency of industrial processes.

Ensuring the appropriate level of training and education for hazardous waste management personnel is also an important aspect. Employees must have sufficient knowledge and skills to perform their duties safely and effectively. This includes training in safety, waste treatment technologies and environmental management.

The implementation of all these measures will reduce the negative impact of hazardous lining waste and carbon-based refractories from metallurgical processes on the environment and human health. This will help preserve natural resources, increase the level of environmental safety and sustainable development of industry.
