To solve ecological problems in alumina production, ecological measures were implemented to reduce the consumption of mineral natural resources and by involving secondary technogenicmaterials in the production. In the processing ofnepheline ores, a number of technologies were tested and implemented into production for the introduction of various additives of technogenic raw materials into the raw alumina charge: spent chamotte refractory bricks, ferrotitanium production slag, and combined heat and power plant ash. The introduction of technology for processing oftechnogenic raw materials provided the use of spent chamotte bricks of more than 70,000 tons, while saving natural raw materials: nepheline ore of about 42,000 tons. In addition to saving mineral resources, work was carried out to reduce waste water discharges into open water basin and reduce the water intake of treated water for production needs. For this purpose, the technological equipment for water supply of the combined heat and power plant was replaced. As a result of the introduction of new cooling towers, the waste water discharges into an open water basin was eliminated and the intake of treated water from the river was reduced by 40.07 millionm3per year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
