ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL RISK FROM CASTING EMISSIONS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE
Abstract
Environmental issues are currently coming to the fore in the development of industry and society. The foundry shop, which is a structural unit of RMZ LLC in Novokuznetsk, consists of steel and cast iron casting departments and is designed to provide repairs for the main and auxiliary equipment of EVRAZ ZSMK, as well as to supply part of its products to other metallurgical plants and mining enterprises. In the foundry shop, large batches of grates are produced for the agglomerate lime production of EVRAZ ZSMK and the boiler houses in Novokuznetsk, as well as tubings for mines and refrigeration plates for blast furnaces. Steel is smelted in electric arc furnaces such as DSP-25 and DSP-6. Approximately 60 different steel grades are produced. Cast iron is smelted in two industrial frequency furnaces, ICHT-10. In total, about 29 grades of cast iron are smelted [1]. The air in the foundry contains large amounts of carbon and iron oxides, sulfur and nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxide, cyanide, and fluoride.
