Reducing greenhouse gas emissions of the metallurgical industry

The metallurgical industry ranks second among a huge number of industries in terms of atmospheric emissions. Ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises are forced to use ore with very low content of the required substances when extracting metals. Thus, the processing of ore emits large amounts of gases that further pollute the atmosphere.Air pollution is the main cause of the environmental problem associated with metallurgical activities. Emissions from the pipes lead to soil contamination, the destruction of flora and fauna, and the formation of large amounts of gaseous waste around large plants. In addition, atmospheric problems in the domestic metallurgy industry are exacerbated by high wear and tear on equipment and outdated technology.
