10 10 03 Casting process slag
Non-ferrous casting waste, also known as slag, is a significant problem in the manufacturing process. Casting is an important method of manufacturing parts and structures, which is widely used in various industries. However, the slag that is formed during this process poses a serious environmental and social threat. This article is devoted to the study of the problem of casting waste, its impact on the environment and human health, as well as methods of reducing harm.
The process of casting non-ferrous metals is accompanied by the formation of slag, which contains metal residues, oxides, silicates and other chemical compounds. Slag occurs as a result of physical and chemical reactions between molten metal and various impurities in the casting process. The main sources of slag are:
- casting molds and rods;
- smelting furnaces;
- auxiliary materials, such as fluxes and alloying additives.
This waste has a heterogeneous composition and may contain dangerous elements, which complicates its further processing and recycling. Casting waste requires proper environmental management to prevent negative impact on the environment and human health. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Casting process slag Code NPV 10 10 03.
A pity for the environment and people
Slag from the casting process has a significant negative impact on the environment. One of the main aspects of this problem is the contamination of soils and water resources with heavy metals and toxic substances. This can lead to serious environmental consequences:
- decrease in soil fertility;
- water quality deterioration;
- destruction of flora and fauna;
- accumulation of toxic substances in food chains.
In addition, the processes of storage and transportation of casting slag waste can be accompanied by emissions of dust and gases, which contributes to air pollution. Emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere affect air quality, causing acid rain and climate change.
Pity for people
Slag from the casting process can have serious consequences for the health of people who work in production, as well as for the population living near production facilities. The main risks include:
- inhalation of dust and toxic fumes;
- contact with harmful substances;
- consumption of contaminated water and food products.
Inhalation of slag dust can lead to the development of diseases of the respiratory system, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and in some cases even lung cancer. Contact with toxic substances can cause allergic reactions, dermatitis, as well as dysfunction of internal organs. A high level of heavy metals in water and food can lead to intoxication of the body, which negatively affects the nervous, cardiovascular and other systems.
Ways to reduce harm
In order to reduce the negative impact of slag waste from the casting process on the environment and human health, it is necessary to implement modern methods of ecological waste management. The main methods include:
- development and use of the latest technologies to reduce the formation of slag;
- implementation of the waste collection, sorting and processing system;
- use of environmentally friendly materials and additives;
- increasing control over waste production and storage processes.
Particular attention should be paid to the operations of collecting, sorting, crushing and processing (D13) slag waste from the casting process. An important aspect is the transportation of slag waste from the casting process to specialized enterprises for further processing and safe storage.
An effective approach is the implementation of "clean production" principles, which involve reducing the amount of waste and emissions at all stages of the production process. It is also important to raise the environmental awareness of employees and the population by conducting educational programs and information campaigns.

31.01.2024For us, it was critically important to have permits for waste management. We didn't contact them right away and wasted time on other contractors, which we regret. It would have been better to contact them right away. I wish everyone had the same level of service as here. We are very happy with the work. Good luck in your business!
