Recycling of fine iron-containing industrial waste as raw materials
Abstract
The article summarizes the possible options for the use of fine iron-containing production wastes, which include scale, dust from cleaning systems, sludge, slag and others. Such wastes are characterized by different composition, periodically, in small quantities are formed at many enterprises, which makes it difficult to collect and process them. To analyze the possibility of using these wastes as raw materials, scientific papers, including those included in Scopus and Web of Science databases, have been analyzed. It is shown that the technologies developed to date in foreign countries allow to use fine iron-containing wastes as raw materials in various industries to obtain target products: bricks and radiation-protective functional composites, concrete mixtures, sorbents, coagulants and pigments.
