Raw Material Outlook Good For Western Steelmaking

The Power of Steelmaking — Harnessing High- Temperature Reactions to Transform Waste Into Raw Material Resources

A Publication of the Association for Iron & Steel Technology Ironand steelmaking processes present a largely untapped opportunity to transform some of the world’s most problematic waste streams into raw materials for production. This opportunity lies in their high-temperature environments, which offer sustainable pathways for utilizing chemical reactions to repurpose waste materials as resource...

Raw material procurement for termite fishing tools by wild chimpanzees in the Issa valley, Western Tanzania.

OBJECTIVES Chimpanzee termite fishing has been studied for decades, yet the selective processes preceding the manufacture of fishing tools remain largely unexplored. We investigate raw material selection and potential evidence of forward planning in the chimpanzees of Issa valley, western Tanzania. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using traditional archaeological methods, we surveyed the location of pla...

Pallets B Raw Material

We concentrate on a family of discrete event systems obtained from a simple modular design principle that include in a controlled way primitives to deal with concurrency, decisions, synchronization, blocking , and bulk movements of jobs. Due to the functional complexity of such systems, reliable throughput approximation algorithms must be deeply supported on a structure based decomposition tech...

Raw material ‘ criticality ’ — sense or nonsense ?

The past decade has seen a resurgence of interest in the supply security of mineral raw materials. A key to the current debate is the concept of ‘criticality’. The present article reviews the criticality concept, as well as the methodologies used in its assessment, including a critical evaluation of their validity in view of classical risk theory. Furthermore, it discusses a number of risks pre...
