Harbison-Walker Refractories Company Technical Staff, "Refractories for Iron and Steel Plants," Watkins Cyclopedia of the Steel Industry, 1969. Refractories, No. 7901, The Refractories Institute, Pittsburgh, Pa., 1979. [Pg.165]

Various treatment technologies are used at the iron and steel plant for recycle system water treatment prior to recycle and reuse, or end-of-pipe wastewater treatment prior to discharge to surface water or a POTW. The physical/chemical treatment technologies extensively used include equalization, tar removal, free and fixed ammonia stripping, cooling technologies, cyanide treatment technologies,... [Pg.68]

However, other factors affecting profitability are much more closely linked to what happens inside the kiln. One of these is the marketability of the charcoal. If charcoal is to command a high price, its properties have to conform to users requirements. Iron and steel plants, for instance, may require a charcoal with a higher fixed carbon content... [Pg.1604]

Respirable particulate or gaseous forms of lead may be inhaled. Sources include cigarette smoke vehicle exhaust emissions from municipal waste incinerators, iron and steel plants, smelting and refining operations, lead acid battery manufacturing facilities, and sandblasting and burning of surfaces coated with lead paint. Particulate air emissions may eventually deposit and contaminate the soil. [Pg.1516]

Responsibility for the control functions in boundary areas is often poorly defined. For example, Leplat cites an iron and steel plant where frequent accidents occurred at the boundary of the blast furnace department and the transport department. One conflict arose when a signal informing transport workers of the state of the blast... [Pg.98]

The ferrous metals industry is a major contributor of lead emissions to the atmosphere (see emission inventory. Chapter 2). The industrial raw materials are not rich in lead, but as a consequence of the massive size of the industry, and the high process temperatures used, considerable emissions of lead result. In 1975, it is estimated that in the US, 1770 tonnes of lead were emitted to the atmosphere in the production of ferrous metals and alloys 605 tonnes from iron and steel plants, 1080 tonnes from gray iron foundries and 82 tonnes from ferroalloy production facilities, excluding fugitive emissions [1]. [Pg.78]

In 1995, in the United Kingdom the dominant source was the incineration of solid municipal waste, contributing an average of 70 % to the atmospheric emissions. Other major emissions are from sinter plants (steel mills), combustion of coal, emissions from iron and steel plants, from non-ferous metal operations, and combustion of clinical waste, summing up to 23% of total industrial emissions [389]. [Pg.218]
