Foundry slag from the metal casting process

10 09 03 Casting process slag (foundry)

whyneed

Foundry slag is one of the most common wastes produced in the process of casting products from ferrous metals. It consists of metal oxides, flux residues, sand particles and other materials used during casting. There is a need for effective management of these wastes in order to minimize their impact on the environment and human health.

The process of casting ferrous metals is an integral part of the metallurgical industry. During this process, large volumes of slag are generated, which must be properly treated and disposed of. Slag contains various hazardous components that can pollute air, water and soil. In addition, it can cause various diseases in people who work with these wastes or live near their storage sites.

Methods of environmental management of slag waste from the casting (foundry) process require careful planning and implementation. They include the operations of collecting, sorting, crushing and processing of waste, as well as its transportation to places of final processing or storage. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Casting process slag (foundry) NPV code 10 09 03.

Slag of the casting process (foundry). Code in accordance with the National List of Waste 10 09 03. Operations in accordance with Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D13, R5.

A pity for the environment and people

howutilize

Foundry slag, if not handled properly, can have a significant negative impact on the environment. In particular, it can cause:

  • pollution of soils with heavy metals;
  • pollution of water resources with toxic substances;
  • air pollution with dust and other harmful emissions;
  • disruption of ecosystems and reduction of biodiversity.

Methods of environmental management of slag waste from the casting (foundry) process should take into account all these factors and contribute to minimizing their impact on the environment.

 

Pity for people

Slag waste from the casting process can also have a negative impact on human health. Workers who work at foundries, as well as people who live near slag storage areas, can be exposed to toxic substances that are part of the slag:

  • risk of developing respiratory diseases due to inhalation of dust and aerosols;
  • contact dermatitis and other skin diseases;
  • potential accumulation of heavy metals in the body, which can lead to serious diseases;
  • general impact on the immune system and increased risk of developing cancer.

Environmental management of casting slag waste includes measures to minimize the impact on human health, such as the use of personal protective equipment, regular pollution monitoring and the implementation of emission reduction technologies.

Ways to reduce harm

whyneed

Management of slag waste from the casting process (foundry) can include various methods of reducing harm to the environment and human health. One of the key approaches is the implementation of environmentally friendly technologies in the production and processing of slag:

  • use of modern technologies to reduce the formation of slag;
  • implementation of collection and sorting systems (D13)  waste directly in production;
  • use of effective methods of crushing and processing of slag for further use or recycling (R5);
  • transportation of slag waste from the casting (foundry) process with minimal impact on the environment;
  • implementation of environmental monitoring and control systems in areas where slag waste is stored or processed.

Such measures help to significantly reduce the negative impact of slag waste on the environment and human health, contributing to sustainable development and preservation of ecosystems.
