METALLIC SECONDARY RAW MATERIALSRECYCLING STRATEGY IN SERBIA

摘要

In developed countries, the difference between demanded and produced quantities of nonferrousand rare metals are compensated by secondary raw materials recycling and reprocessingof by-products from both ferrous and non-ferrous extractive metallurgy. Utilization of nonferrousand rare metals from the metallic secondary raw materials is very significant, both forrecovery of the metal value and contribution to the environment protection.Similar to all non-developed countries, the extractive metallurgy in Serbia was based onavailable natural resources and not so strict environment protection regulations, which waseither insufficient or completely absent. Today, Serbia is at the beginning of development ofefficient and economical technical and technological solutions in order to “ecologize”technogenic systems by waste materials, secondary raw materials and degraded soilsregeneration (by recycling and revitalization).Several metallurgical technogenic systems in Serbia, together with secondary raw materialsclassification according to their potentiality for metal extraction by using the existingtechnologies and expected economical and ecological effects of recycling, are discussed in thispaper.
