The paper is concerned with the analysis of heavy metal content in soils depending on the distance from the considered source of pollution of Magnitogorsk and its suburbs. It was found that the main investigated heavy metals polluting soils are zinc, lead and copper. The main objective of this research work is to carry out the analysis of heavy metal content dynamics in soil from 2014 to 2017 taking into account environmental protection measures taken within the frame of the environmental program of the PJSC MMK. The slagheap of the III order located in the North of the city on the left-bank valley side of the river Ural was considered as the source of pollution. The research group calculated the following characteristic values: the total pollution index of soils and the ecotoxicological index of chemical pollution of soils with pollutants of different classes of hazard.

The paper proposes a method of processing steelmaking slag in order to save resources. The authors propose to include partial granulation of steelmaking slags in the processing scheme. This option includes draining the slag melt from the steelmaking unit into ladles and dividing the slag melt into two parts, one of which is enriched in iron. The resulting product can be recommended for use in construction, in agriculture as fertilizers, as well as as a slag-forming flux in steelmaking. During the experiments, the possibility of pyrometallurgical reduction of iron from metallurgical slag was revealed. The influence of the reduction temperature on the yield of iron from the slag is established.

The paper identifies the effect of temperature recovery on the iron slag output in the steel industry, the value of which is recommended to take in the range of 1600 – 1650 °C. Laboratory studies were carried out in an oven Tamman resistance. Studies have shown that an increase in the time delay interval in the molten slag 1300 – 1650 °C higher than the degree of metal removal. With the use of statistical processing dependences for determination of content of FeO content in the converter and open-hearth slag were received.
