Chemical metallurgy wastes

There is a great number of dioxin-hazardous chemical enterprises, non-ferrous metallurgy plants, and works engaged in thermal treatment of industrial and domestic wastes, on the territory of Ukraine. Taking this fact into consideration, a threat of polluting the objects of the environment with dioxins exists.

The products are not necessarily single compounds. Polymers for example are a range of compounds of varying molecular weights but which are chemically identical. For commodity chemicals the expense of feed purification, a more exotic catalyst, the corrosion resistant metallurgy and the need for a product purification train, start to add cost. But like refinery processes these are dedicated to one product, run 24 hours a day and are part of an integrated complex benefiting from heat and waste recovery. As the cost to build these refinery and petrochemical complexes is many billions of dollars, time is needed to pay back the investment. Once built, both commodity chemical and refinery... 

At the University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy (UCTM), the Faculty of Ecology and environmental protection, among the issues for education and research are - the industrial waste utilization and natural resources and their protection monitoring. There is a close co-operation between the UCTM s Scientific Research Centre and all Bulgarian scientific... 

Industrial exhalates and wastes. The pollutants in the atmosphere may be gaseous, solid and (in the form of aerosols) also liquid. There are also natural exhalates in the atmosphere, e.g. from the volcanic activity. Thus, the purity of the atmosphere has been at risk ever since the development of industry, which releases many different waste substances into the atmosphere, due to imperfect technological procedures. Energy production, metallurgy, the silicate industry and of course also chemical industry are the most important producers of exhalates. 

Some of the other early symposia included Smelter Smoke (1910), Mineral Wastes (1911), Wood Wastes and Conservation (1915), Occupational Diseases (1916), Nitrogen Industry (1916), Metallurgy (1917), Potash (1918), and Refractories (1919). In addition, several less technically oriented symposia were held on Contributions of the Chemist to American Industries (1915), Industrial Chemists in Wartime (1917), Library Service in Industrial Laboratories (1919), Future of Certain American-Made Chemicals (1919), and Annual Patent Renewal Fees (1919). 

Therefore, the technological challenge is large, particularly in the case of particle mixtures with near similar physical properties such as size and size distribution, density and morphology. Then, differences in surface chemistry can be exploited to separate the particles,for instance via flotation [33],L-L interfacial partitioning [34-36], foam and gas aphrons (stabilised micro-bubbles) fractionation, and electrophoretic and electrostatic techniques. This whole field, despite its maturity in other industries such as metallurgy and solid waste fractionation, is totally imderdeveloped for fine-chemical and biotechnological production methods. 

Industry and Business. Flow reactor systems are vital in any process industry. This includes the oil and gas, petrochemical, and chemical industries. Flow reactors are also important in metallurgy. Increasingly, the pharmaceutical, food, and biochemical industries have made use of flow reactors as well. Flow reactors have also become relevant in the waste-management industry, particularly in biological wastewater treatment and solid-waste incineration plants.
