Environmental assessment of the hot-dip galvanization processes

Abstract

Processes of the hot-dip galvanization, refraining from application of dangerous chemical substances together with the necessity of ensuring the high temperatures, both pose a special threat to the environment. Therefore, the subject of analysis was environmental impact of the hot-dip galvanization process. Here has been done the identification and the assessment of the environmental aspects as well as has been pointed at the key-aspects requiring the special supervision. The developed assessment methodology can be applied by each of the organization wanting to master the processes by minimizing their environmental influence.
