PROCEEDINGS: SYMPOSIUM ON IRON AND STEEL POLLUTION ABATEMENT TECHNOLOGY (1ST), HELD AT CHICAGO, ILLINOIS ON OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 1, 1979. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/9-80/012.
Description:
The symposium was organized into air, water, and solids sessions. Air pollution topics included: emission standards, assessment of coke quench tower and by-product recovery plant emissions, sealing of coke-oven doors, volatilization of hydrocarbons in steel rolling operations, development of a coke-oven air pollution control cost effectiveness model, control of sinter plant emissions utilizing recirculation of windbox gases, estimating fugitive contributions to ambient particulate levels near steel mills, foreign technology for BOF fugitive emission control, and fugitive particulate emission factors for BOF operations. Water topics included emission standards, total recycle of water in integrated steel mills, use of spent pickle liquor in municipal sewage treatment, physical/chemical treatment of steel plant wastewaters using mobile pilot units, foreign technology for controlling coke plant and blast furnace wastewaters, and formation and structure of water-formed scales. Solid waste topics included emission standards, environmental and resource conservation considerations of steel industry solid waste, and de-oiling and utilization of mill scale.
