EQUIPMENT FOR METALLURGICAL PROCESSING AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The work analyzes energetic and information interactions between "metallurgical systems" and the environment. The impact on the. ecological systems is a complex issue. The complexity is due to the fact that the pollution is not only a local problem, but it has also influences, through the most dynamic vectors on the environment, on large and complex zones (defined as metallurgical ecosystems). There are taken into account the specific equipment of the metallurgical systems as well as the ecozone surrounding the technological line, their complexity and the possible interference. The final scope is to establish the influence of the energy, materials and information on the ecosystems and to offer a model that could make easier the decisions relating to the improvement of the utilized technologies. The authors refer to the system's theory, in order to analyze from energetic and ecologic point of view the technological lines.
