Description

Generally, the abatement techniques and dust management technologies  used in the production of iron and steel, ferroalloys, aluminium, copper and zinc at the studied plants are in accordance with BATs. Three newer types of ESP with good reported performance could be involved: Moving Electrode Electrostatic Precipitator  MEEP, Use of energy pulse superimposition, Electrostatic Space Cleaner Super ESCS. Given that the studied plants are representative of the metallurgical activities in the countries involved in the project (Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan), it is evident that in some cases the abatement technique is missing. The formed dust is liberated in at-mosphere. The presence of heavy metals in dust is a high danger for a human health, because of the presence of nanoparticles the health risk is increased. The use of Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer for the measurement of particle size could be offer better picture for formed dust. Small deviations that were noted, concerning the abatement techniques used in the different production stages, should be not viewed as crucial factors of the environ-mental pollution related to the liberation of formed metallurgical dusts.
