PRESENTATION OF METHODS FOR THE REUSE OF METALLIC WASTE FROM THE MECHANICAL METAL INDUSTRY

Abstract

This article presents research on issues of solid waste generated in the metalworking industries, and proposes measures for reuse and decontamination of waste for clean disposal. The objective is to reduce environmental impacts relevant to human beings and the environment. In Brazil, large quantities of machining chips are generated annually by the metalworking industries, steel and cast iron machining chips are the most important in terms of the tonnage volume involved, and therefore they can bring more risks to the environment when not discarded or reused. correct form. Thus, the present work proposes to guide and provide informational actions, such as the briquetting process, which allows the reuse of different types of materials, the powder metallurgy process, which focuses on the reuse of SAE 1020 steel, and finally , the process of cleaning up contaminated chips, allowing clean waste disposal without harming the environment, all these actions are intended to bring companies into focus on waste management and enable the achievement of environmental and social responsibility gains.
