Cooling water is a very important<br />

natural resource<br />

During the last 20 years the specifi c<br />

water requirement in m 3 per tonne<br />

of crude steel has been reduced by<br />

more than two thirds. Only about<br />

10.6 m 3 water per tonne of crude<br />

steel is now required. Cooling water<br />

Dust emissions from iron and steel<br />

production in Germany<br />

The generation of dust in kg per<br />

tonne of crude steel has been re-<br />

duced from about 9.0 kg to well<br />

below 0.5 kg since 1960. This has<br />

substantially improved air quality.<br />

at all steelworks, and after its use<br />

it is returned to nature cleaner than<br />

when it was taken up.<br />
