Opis:

The current market environment is affected by a number of fundamental changes. A large number of these affect manufacturing companies the most. They are forced to continuously reduce their costs, improve the quality of service to their customers and adapt to a highly competitive environment. However, environmental requirements for production processes have become increasingly important in recent years. These are underpinned by legislative changes that put enormous pressure on manufacturers. Often, environmental requirements can also determine the economic success of a manufacturer. The areas that have a significant environmental impact include metallurgical technologies. These are currently predominantly based on the use of coke, which is produced from high quality hard coal. The mining of raw materials also has major environmental impacts. The article deals with the analysis of downstream production processes in terms of their environmental impact. These are the areas of mining, ore processing and iron and steel production. These areas can be seen as downstream production stages. Iron ore processing and iron and steel production often take place within a single production organisation. Therefore, a possible overall optimisation in the handling of environmental impacts and the treatment of pollutants can be assumed. The secondary objective of the paper is to analytically assess the possible reuse of the produced waste in production processes. The article is based on the results of research carried out in a selected metallurgical enterprise in the Czech Republic.
