Redesign of Secondary Magnesium Metallurgy in the "Mg Serbien" Complex

Abstract

Securing a sustainable production nowadays is a key issue taking into account the need for clean and sustainable solutions for the production of magnesium, in order to avoid harm to the environment. Redesign of secondary magnesium metallurgy in the complex Mg Serbien is presented.
 The integrated approach has been pointed in order to deliver industrial sustainability which significantly contributes to the material flows management and cleaner production, as well as preventive measures for environmental management. The research propose is to show that sustainable magnesium production is feasible only by principles of closing the production cycle through optimization and synergy between primary and secondary magnesium production in order to generate as least as possible waste, emission and pollution. The technical and economical view-point evaluation has been illustrated by material balance sheets and economic parameters which are the most favorable parameters for projects of this kind. The unit capital expenditures and unit operating expenses are indicators of the economic success for this integrated approach by using UNIDO and the World Bank methodology.
