Environmental Management Elements of The Electric Arc Furnace

The paper presents a theoretical and experimental analysis of the polluting generating mechanisms for steel making in the Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF). The scheme for the environment?s polluting system through the EAF is designed and presented in this paper. The ecological experimenting consisted of determining by specialised measures of the dust percentage in the evacuated gases from the EAF and of thereof gas pollutants. From the point of view of reducing the impact on the environment, the main problem of the electric arc furnace (EAF) is the optimisation of the powder collecting from the process gases, both from the furnace and from the work-area. The paper deals with the best dependence between the aggregate?s constructive, functional and technological factors, which are necessary for the furnace?s ecologisation and for its energetically-technologically performances increasing.
