Науково-технічне супроводження Концепції сталого розвитку чорної металургії України

Abstract

The article examines the prospects of scientific and technical support for the development of ferrous metallurgical Ukraine, taking into account the consequences of the military aggression of the Russian Federation. On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the industry, the possibilities of implementing modern and promising technologies of metallurgical production have been determined in accordance with the proposed project "Concept of sustainable development of ferrous metallurgy of Ukraine". Possible scenarios and stages of development of ferrous metallurgy were discussed, priority directions for the near, medium and long term were determined. It was emphasized that the development of the ferrous metallurgical and mining and metallurgical complex of Ukraine as a whole should be connected with the implementation of the best available technologies (Best Available Techniques), conducting promising scientific research and implementing systematic scientific and technical support of production. The priority areas of development of sub-sectors of the metallurgical industry are considered. Prospective ways of improving technologies for all main metallurgical processes are proposed. It was noted that along with the improvement of the process of obtaining iron in blast furnaces, it is expedient to develop off-blast production using raw materials available in Ukraine. Progress in steelmaking is, first of all, due to the improvement of modern oxygen-converter and electric steelmaking technologies. It was established that rolling production needs modernization of industrial equipment and an increase in the range of metal products. It is shown that the decarbonization of steel production should become a promising direction for the development of the metallurgical industry and one of the means of solving environmental problems. Target indicators of sustainable development and effectiveness of scientific and technical support of the metallurgical industry in the perspective of 2050 have been determined. The successful solution of the tasks and the implementation of the future development directions defined by the Concept will allow the metallurgical industry to firmly establish itself on the trajectory of sustainable growth and provide Ukraine with one of the competitive advantages in the international arena.
