Abstract
In recent years, the metal-producing industries face a range of economic and ecological problems. The authors use content-analysis and statistical methods for analyzing the recent data and make proposals for the development t of metallurgy. The metallurgical industry is in second place among all other industries in terms of atmospheric emissions. Ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises are forced to use ore with a very low content of useful components in the extraction of metals. Thus, a huge volume of ore is supplied to beneficiation and smelting, and this, in turn, generates large quantities of waste gases from unused components. The current position of metallurgy companies in Russia does not contribute to the development of new industries for several reasons: lack of funds for the development of large plants; lack of forecast for short-term global demand for ferrous metallurgy products; a growing group of competition from foreign manufacturers for the products provided by the industry. To reduce the level of negative impact of metallurgy on the environment, it is necessary to develop and use new technologies that are safe for the environment. Unfortunately, not all enterprises use purification filters and facilities, although this is mandatory in the activities of every metallurgical enterprise.
Highlights
The metallurgical industry is a branch of heavy industry that includes the processes of making metals from ores or other materials, as well as metal alloys
In order to carry out an effective modernization of production facilities, it is necessary to create conditions for the transition of the metallurgical industry to an innovative path of development
Considering that in Russia almost all metallurgical enterprises are privately owned, when implementing an innovation policy, reconstruction and modernization of production in order to increase the competitiveness of products, it is necessary to ensure the observance of state interests in the field of resource and energy conservation, reducing the anthropogenic load on the natural environment, strategic forecasting the development of the industry, determining the state technical and technological policy in metallurgy, developing projects of the corresponding federal or other state programs, concepts and other strategic documents, which determine the development of metallurgy
Summary
The metallurgical industry is a branch of heavy industry that includes the processes of making metals from ores or other materials, as well as metal alloys. It is important to note that a considerable part of the products manufactured at Russian enterprises are sent abroad [1, 2]. It is generally accepted that at the moment in Russia about 90% of all ferrous metallurgical products are produced by 9 companies - magnates, in contrast to non-ferrous metallurgy, where there are only 8 large enterprises. It has been especially noticeable that globalization of enterprises and companies is taking place in the metallurgical segment of the market. Huge industrial enterprises are rapidly being formed, which carry out a full cycle of metal production.
