| Abstract |
This study was performed through an in-plant review of functioning control methods in 24 ferrous and non-ferrous foundries and a survey of the literature. The processes selected provide a representative coverage of the industry. The report provides a ready reference to control methods of the 26 processes studied. Hazards are identified, and advantages and limitations of control methods are summarised. Deleterious effects of the individual hazards and the principles behind each category of control are described. Conclusions on the existence and effectiveness of control measures, and recommendations for further research and development, are presented. |
