The Mini Mill Advantage

The Mini Mill Advantage

I. Introduction

II. Basic Process Description

a. Conventional (Integrated)

b. Recycling (Mini Mill)

III. Production Rates

a. Worldwide (Integrated & Recycling) for 1990 & 2000 (will attempt to show shift in 3^rd World operations)

b. Domestic (Integrated & Recycling) for 1990 & 2000 (to show shift to recycling side over this ten year period)

IV. Raw Material Demands Comparison

a. Mining, processing, transporting

b. Overburden, dross & mine reclamation

c. Coal-including Coke production)

d. Limestone

V. Energy Demands Comparison

a. Natural Gas Consumption

b. Electrical Energy Consumption

c. Associated Upstream Pollution from Electrical Generation

i. Carbon Unit Equivalent (DOE study on green house gases)

VI. Criteria Pollutant Comparison

a. Average Industrialized Nation Emission Factors (Integrated & Recycling)

b. Average Developing (3^rd World) Emission Factors (Integrated & Recycling)

c. Table showing pollutants from each type of operation (Integrated & recycling) in world economy

d. Table showing pollutants from each type of operation (Integrated & recycling) in domestic economy

VII. Summary

a. The recycling economic advantage in a per ton explanation (including saving from mining costs, coke production, upstream electrical etc.)

b. The recycling environmental advantage in a per ton explanation (including savings from mining waste, coke production byproducts, energy saving (green house and other gases) and lower criteria pollutant discharges

c. The environmental impact of shifting production to 3^rd world production units.
