| Course Description |
| Metallurgy sector is usually considered as the primary source of heavy metal emission, one of the most important parameters of
environmental pollution, which realizes during the numerous steps of metal production processes. It is possible to minimize the
dangers and hazards of metallurgical production processes to the environment by the design of zero-waste processes,
transforming wastes into re-usable materials, recycling the metallic scrap material, and developing energy-efficient technologies.
This course covers all aspects of metallurgical wastes and sources of pollutions in metallurgical processes. The ways to minimize
these wastes, waste management, recycling processes and developing energy efficient processes along with legal and ethical
responsibilities will be taught. In the course, the importance of ethical responsibilities over legal responsibilities will be
emphasized. |
