Utilisation of Wastes from Integrated Steel Plant with Special Reference To India

In any integrated steel plant a lot of wastes are generated. By the application of appropriate technology the wastes produced can be recycled and reused. This will help in creating waste into wealth and eco-friendly environment. The recovery and use of steel industry by-products has contributed to a material efficiency rate of 97 % in some of the advanced countries, whereas India is far behind this target. The goal should be 100 % efficiency, or zero-waste. A critical analysis has been presented in this paper with special reference to Indian Steel Industries.
