Heavy Metals Flows Induced by Plastics Utilisation in Blast Furnace Process

Waste plastics can be utilised as an alternative reducing agent in the blast furnace process. There they are substituting for reducing agents such as coke, crude tar or heavy crude oil, for example.

However, the utilisation of waste plastics as an alternative reducing agent is also associated with an additional input of heavy metals in the process. These heavy metals may not only be relevant for the process stability and the product quality but also from an environmental point of view.To which extent gaseous emissions or waste water from furnace gas cleaning may be influencedby feedstock recycling of waste plastics have been hardly investigated so far. Therefore, heavymetal flows (Zn, Pb, Hg, Cd) in the blast furnace process and its satellite processes (e.g. top gas scrubber) have been analysed.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
