Opportunities to Analyse the Pollution in Metallurgical Industry
Abstract
The metallurgical industry is a highly polluting economic sector. In order to establish measures to minimise the pollution, new methods are needed to analyse such processes. This article analyses the following possibilities: − thermodynamic analysis; − analysis with system theory elements; − characterization of pollution as global phenomenon of soiling; − possibilities of maintaining a balance between the economic development and pollution.
