INNOVATIVE MICRO-DUST REDUCTION TECHNOLOGIES

Innovative Technologies for Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction in Steel Production

D. Burchart-Korol, M.Kruczek, Central Mining Institute, Katowice, Poland M. Pichlak, Silesian Technical University, Gliwice, Poland The main goal of the study was to present the most significant technological innovations aiming at reduction of greenhouse gas emission in steel production. Reduction of greenhouse gas and dust pollution is a very important aspect in the iron and steel industry. Ne...

Micro-assembly Technologies

In micro-manufacture manual assembly often becomes unfeasible due to the small size of the products. As a result microassembly is becoming a sector of strategic importance in high labour cost areas due to the specific needs of automated fabrication and assembly processes. This in turn makes outsourcing a less attractive option. It is well recognised that the production of miniaturised products ...

Innovative Developments in Sand Reclamation Technologies

Reclamation of used moulding and core sands is defined as a treatment of waste refractory materials allowing to recover at least one component of properties similar to the properties of the new component and to reuse it for casting moulds and core production. In traditional technologies of casting moulds and core production on the basis of high-silica sands with binding agent addition, the recl...

Innovative reproductive technologies: risks and responsibilities.

In view of the global burden of subfertility, efforts are required to make assisted reproduction more effective, less burdensome and more equally accessible. New reproductive technologies are frequently introduced in clinical practice without a sound evaluation of their efficacy, effectiveness and/or safety. Safety issues in this context refer both to patients (mostly women) undergoing the rele...
