Possibilities of revitalization of magnesium factory 'Bela Stena', Baljevac on Ibar

Abstract

Magnesium factory ²Bela Stena" in Baljevac on Ibar started producing magnesium in 1979. and continued production until July of 2000. Reason for aborting magnesium production was disorder on World Trade Market, meaning the price of magnesium was to low, so that continuing of production under this terms was absolutely not profitable. Detail analysis of possibilities of revitalization of Factory has shown that there are technical and technological possibilities of producing materials for needs of steel factories, recycling of waste magnesium and processing of zinc slag, zinc oxides from brass foundries, hard zinc and other waste materials on zinc basis.

Fabrika magnezijuma "Bela Stena" u Baljevcu na Ibru počela je sa proizvodnjom magnezijuma krajem 1979. godine i radila je do jula meseca 2000. godine. Do prestanka rada fabrike je došlo usled poremećaja na svetskom tržištu ovog metala, tj. niske cene ovog metala, tako da je proizvodnja pod ovim uslovima, apsolutno nerentabilna. Detaljnom analizom mogućnosti revitalizacije Fabrike utvrđeno je postoje tehničko-tehnološke mogućnosti proizvodnje sirovina za potrebe integralnih železara, reciklaže otpadnog magnezijuma i prerada Zn-šljaka, cink oksida iz livnica mesinga, tvrdog cinka i drugih otpadnih Zn-sirovina.
