Technogenic metallurgical resources raw potential usage under conditions of the zinc industry modernization

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of accumulation and usage oftechnogenic metallurgical resources in the regions where the largeststeel plants are accommodated. The features of exploration anddevelopment of the mineral potential of technogenic metallurgicalresources are presented through the introduction of technologies ofdeep complex processing of technogenic raw materials. The topicalityof technogenic raw materials usage to expand the mineral resource baseof zinc producers in Russia is substantiated. The prospects of thezinc industry in terms of development of raw conversion by usingtechnological resources are explored. A methodical approach toevaluating the effectiveness of the usage of technogenic metallurgicalraw materials is developed. Approaches to establish the price oftechnogenic raw materials are determined; the expediency of increasingenvironmental charges for waste disposal is highlighted.Methodological developments are tested to assess the effectiveness of the usage of technogenic waste products made by ferrous metallurgyplants in Russia as a raw material for zinc production. There are set of the prioritiesfor the usage of raw potential of the technogenic resources todevelop the zinc industry.
