ANALYSİS OF METAL SCRAP WASTE GENERATED İN A METALLURGİCAL ENTERPRİSE USİNG MODERN PHYSİCOCHEMİCAL ANALYTİCAL METHODS

As is known, when conducting scientific research to determine the ecological situation at any industrial enterprise, one of the main conditions is to study the composition, radioactivity and ecotoxicological properties of all types of waste formed in that enterprise and conduct ecochemical analysis. For this purpose, the main goal of the scientific research work was to determine the element and radionuclide composition of each of the solid wastes formed at the Baku Recycling Steel Smelting Plant. One of these research works was the ecological research work conducted by us to determine the element and radionuclide composition of a sample taken from scrap metal waste (SWW), which is one of the main solid wastes generated during the production process at the Baku Recycling Steel Smelting Plant. Rigaku NEX CG+ X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (Rigaku) and HPGe Detector Gamma Spectrometer (Canberra) devices were used in the research work. As a result of the analyzes conducted with these devices, the percentage amounts of 29 chemical elements, as well as the amount of natural and artificial radioactive isotopes contained in the sample of the scrap metal waste mixture under study, were determined. During the study, it was determined that the scrap metal waste sample did not contain any artificial radioactive isotopes. Although the measured radioactivity levels were below the permitted limits, they have negative environmental effects on all components of the biosphere, including human health, after a while.
