Knowing the factors that determine the dynamics of solid waste generation is very important because it provides clues about possible alternatives to reduce the quantities of generated waste. The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that affect t he dynamics of solid wastes generation in the steelmaking process in electric arc furnaces. Fig. 1 presents the main factors influencing the dynamics of solid waste generation during steelmaking in electric arc furnaces. The annual steel production is the factor that has the greatest influence on the dynamics of solid waste from steelmaking in electric arc furnaces. If the annual production of steel is higher, the quantities of solid waste generated will be higher.
