Ahan Pouya - Sale and export of ironware

Scraps are one of the important valuable building materials which have an outstanding place in the market . 

In this paper , we introduce you the concept of iron scraps and different levels of iron scraps .

 These days there may be few who do not know what iron scraps are and had not heard something about them .  Iron wastes are low carbon unusable steel products that are known as iron scraps . 

Scraps are recyclable and resulting of :  steel production lines , agricultural waste products , returning steel products , automobile industry , food packaging , railway wastes , steel products , construction industries . 

Scraps are one of the important valuable building materials which have an outstanding place in the market . 
They are graded on the basis of place and time of production. Scraps are one of the main sources for production of primary materials . On the other hand , scraps are materials that are recyclable . Iron and metallic scraps have monetary value and are returned to the production cycle unlike other wastes .  

Scraps have different kinds regarding their method of production , used alloys and their usages . Recycling these products in many developed countries is not only common but also vital to many industries .  
Scraps are one of the most important sources for electric arc furnaces . 

Know more about scraps

As you may know today we face indiscriminate constructions which has caused large-scale construction wastes .  
Some of the main problems create in this area is environmental pollution ( like cars collision with the debris from the tracks on the roads specially on the night when drivers sight is low and limited  as well as the ugly view ) . 

Some of the debris like bricks and blocks should be moved or removed or disposed of .  
However , there are other kinds of building wastes that can be recycled , including iron , copper , aluminum and cast iron , which also have the ability to reuse to produce new metals . Wastes which have been remained from construction , destruction and reconstruction of buildings are called building wastes .  

Some part of the total material used in the buildings form non-metallic wastes such as brick concrete and wood .   

 In contrast ,  some of the wastes are also recoverable in presence of high technology  such as iron scraps copper , aluminum and cast iron . This causes some individuals and companies buying this kind of scraps more . 
The most important waste of building construction are iron scraps . Construction costs can be compensated with iron scraps sale .  

The structure of iron is such that if we destroy a building after years , we can re-use waste from it in projects . Iron maintains its physical and chemical properties for over the long years ( excluding the apparent shape ) . 

The iron scraps are not only achieved through the destruction of a building , but it  may also require newer equipments to replace with  the old equipments  during the time . This has caused to compensate the costs of renovating by recycling the materials .  

Waste and scrap differences 

Scraps and wastes are confused in many instances . Scraps are the components which does not match with necessary standards of production and dismissed from the production cycle and sold with lower prices . Scraps may be discarded or used as part of the raw material for the same product or other products . 

That amount or a number of product scraps which are expected to arise in the ordinary conditions of production and cannot be controlled , are considered as regular scraps of the production . Abnormal scraps are the scraps of production which are more than the quantity or number of regular products . Because they are not expected to happen & can be controlled .  

Wastes are the primary materials remained from the cutting of iron sheets .  Wastes cannot be used in the same manner such as the remained irregular sections in furniture production or the remains of cutting iron sheets .  

Scraps has two main groups : 

1. Scraps remained in production line . 
2. Purchased scraps . 

1)    - As the name suggests , these scraps are obtained from the production line of steel casting and beaming which has very high quality . These scraps could be utilized in arc furnaces however this does not apply to the majority of returning scraps because some scraps have high amount of pollution and need to be cleared . 

2)    - These are scraps are bought from junk vendors whose scraps may be from commercial goods such as cars and appliances , or from industrial equipment , buildings and bridges . Purchased scraps need to be prepared specially the scraps made in building constructions . 

Benefits of recycling 

Recycling could have outstanding benefits in health of environment which causes : 

A)    Power saving up to 70 % .  
B)    Economize on the use of raw materials up to 90 % . 
C)    Lower air pollution ( 86 % ) .  
D)    Water conservation up to  40 % . 
E)    Reducing the Pollution of Water Resources up to 76 % . 
F)    Save resource usage up to 97 % .  

Each ton of steel , recycled from scrap iron , can save 1115 kg in  use of iron and 625 kg on coal and helps in keeping 53 kg of limestone . The figures for other metals ( non-ferrous metals ) are equivalent with saving 95 % in aluminum , 85 % in copper , 65 % in lead and 60 % in zinc .

Scraps applications 

Iron scraps affects economics and specially environment . This means that the tools produced must be made in a such way that they become useless and then recycled and manufactured into a final product .  

Industrial applications 

Iron Scraps or aluminum scraps are used in so many industries like construction industry ( specially in road construction and bridge construction projects ) .  

In the transportation industry , it can be used in vehicle production , aircraft production and other transportation forms .
The new application also includes detoxification of the disposal sewages and industrial waters .  
Iron Scraps and scraps of other metals are also used in the production of dishes done by large companies . Many tools of today’s life are made of aluminum scraps .  

This recycling helps the environment no longer be necessary to dig and extract the natural sources . It is also more cost-effective to use scraps ( specially iron scraps ) . 

Recycling of steel can be changed in a process ( electric arc furnace process ) and creates the high-quality instruments . Anti-scratch steel can be produced in this way . This process many heat and explosion and noise are used . Copper scraps can be transferred into different products through these processes .  

Aluminum scraps are melting in very lower temperatures rather than pure aluminum so the process requires much less energy for the aluminum .  

It is generally true for all recycled metals that not only stores more energy , but the diffusion of carbon dioxide is also reduced ; thus , the environment is retained , and in the production process , more economic savings are achieved and ultimately the product is reached by the customer .
