Within the framework of the European Metrological Research Program (EMRP) IND04 MetroMetal 'Ionizing radiation metrology for the metallurgical industry', joint research carried out by 14 metrological institutions from countries within the European Union and the company ENVINET, questions concerning the determination of radioactivity in samples relevant to the metallurgical industry were resolve...

With the development of ubiquitous information environment in metallurgical industry, driving type of metallurgical equipment systems is changing from energy-driven to information-driven. The problems of the metallurgical equipment information communication path intelligent planning are taken as the research object. Based on the cellular automata theory, the integrated framework of metallurgica...

T. Sadilek, University of Economics, Faculty of International Relations, Prague, Czech Republic The aim of the article is to present the regional distribution of the metallurgical industry in the Czech Republic and to describe the specific factors which determine the localization of the industry in Czech regions. In order to achieve that goal, traditional tools of regional analysis are used, su...

Metallurgical slag, including ferrochrome slag is internationally recognized as suitable material for use in road construction and as aggregate for concrete (Rossouw et al. 1981, Lind et al. 2001). Contrary to international practice, metallurgical slag – including ferrochrome slagis classified as hazardous waste that must be de-listed before use in other applications (DWAF 1998). Having adopted...

Processing of minerals and production of metals has increased greatly in recent years. As a result, the quantities of waste material and pollutants have also increased. In many cases technology has changed to cope with the problem. Processes have been either modified to decrease emissions, or replaced by others that are less polluting even if at a higher cost. This paper briefly reviews example...
