In recent years, thanks to many initiatives, Europe has witnessed a remarkable reduction of air pollutants in order to reduce the danger for human health, but air pollution still represents a huge issue for the environment. This paper deals with a firm particularly involved in this pressing theme: Acciaierie di Sicilia S.p.a., operating in the iron and steel sector. It is a company that, due to the processes carried out, must pay specific attention to inevitable environmental impact. To minimize air pollution, a smog eating structure made of photocatalytic cement can be used. In fact, the action of light on a photocatalytic surface improves the oxidation process, decomposing pollutants faster and easier. The main material of this stage is the titanium dioxide. Another material can be the concrete which has the same properties as titanium, in addition to being self-cleaning. The second innovation explained in this paper is the introduction in the company of an eco-index system in order to reduce CO2 emissions and have an economic profit. These innovations entail numerous opportunities not only for the improvement of quality life and for the environment, but also for the production cycle of a company. Minimizing the emissions of the polluting gases translates into achieving significant benefits for the citizens of that specific area and for the entire environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
