The aim of the 11th International Conference is to present the current state of modern foundry and metallurgical technologies as well as environmental protection in the Polish foundry and metallurgical industry. The Council Directive IPPC will also be highlighted as well as the Best Available Techniques in Foundry Technology. This year Conference will be carried out under the main topics “Energy and Material Saving Technologies”. During the Conference the special thematic panel will be held, which is closely associated with the NCBiR project. The assessment of thermal destruction of molding sands with reclaim and organic components on the quality of cast iron alloys, and composition of gas emission with the special emphasis on compounds from BTEX and PAHs groups. .
