Due to the growth of man-caused pollution, there is a need to use modern methods of water purification. It is advisable to use sorption methods for the extraction of heavy metals, which are considered to be particularly dangerous. It is established that sorbents based on magnetite are quite effective in the extraction of copper ions. It is shown that the sorption capacity of magnetite-based sorbents towards copper ions depends on the ratio of concentrations of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in the reaction mixture, and increases with increasing this indicator from 1/2 to 2. The sorption capacity of the sorbent towards copper ions increases by 4.4 times. It is shown that the efficiency of copper ions removal onto magnetite increases for sorbent modified with sodium sulfide. The proposed scheme provides the possibility of sorption treatment of large volumes of water from copper ions to the norms for the discharge of wastewater into fishery reservoirs. Post-productional magnetite is dehydrated and supplied to metallurgical enterprises for processing. The developed technology of water purification from copper ions is environmentally safe and energy efficient.

The article analyzes the work of the oxygen-converter shop of PJSC «ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih». It is shown that almost half of the total number of blowing supplements (~ 44%) is carried out by temperature. In order to improve the conditions of steel smelting and reduce resource costs, calculations were performed and new technological solutions were found in steel smelting to reduce the number of additives. The study of real smelters demonstrated the need for corrective operations in the smelting of steel using scrap metal of different types. Scrap smelts have a clear relationship between the amount of scrap in the charge and the temperature of the melt in the first dump. The addition of «goat» scrap to the charge has a number of uncontrolled effects on the process due to significant fluctuations in the chemical composition of this type of metal charge. An economic analysis with introducing the developed control mechanism over the course of steel smelting into the software system for conditions PSJC «ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih» was performed.
