In this article there are considered the challenges of metallurgical industry innovation development and the features of development and expansion of the mineral raw resource base. The urgency of the development and introduction of new technology of technological materials integrated management is proved. Economic efficiency of zinc and iron extraction is estimated, taking into account social and environmental aspects.

The article deals with the problem of accumulation and usage of technogenic metallurgical resources in the regions where the largest steel plants are accommodated. The features of exploration and development of the mineral potential of technogenic metallurgical resources are presented through the introduction of technologies of deep complex processing of technogenic raw materials. The topicality of technogenic raw materials usage to expand the mineral resource base of zinc producers in Russia is substantiated. The prospects of the zinc industry in terms of development of raw conversion by using technological resources are explored. A methodical approach to evaluating the effectiveness of the usage of technogenic metallurgical raw materials is developed. Approaches to establish the price of technogenic raw materials are determined; the expediency of increasing environmental charges for waste disposal is highlighted. Methodological developments are tested to assess the effectiveness of the usage of technogenic waste products made by ferrous metallurgy plants in Russia as a raw material for zinc production. There are set of the priorities for the usage of raw potential of the technogenic resources to develop the zinc industry.

In the article, the perspective trends of the expansion of the mineral-ore base of the Russian producers of zinc by recycling of technogenic raw materials are considered. The important role of recycling of resources for sustainable development of society and improve the environmental safety is justified. The main structural and dynamic characteristics of the use of mineral resource base for the production of zinc in Russia are considered. Raw materials opportunities and constraints for the development of zinc production are analyzed. In the paper, the structure and dynamics of the use of recycled materials by the largest producer of zinc in Russia are investigated. The methodical approach to the estimation of effectiveness of the industrial processing of technogenic metallurgical raw materials with the strategic flexibility of the implementation of projects is proposed and approved. The estimation of the effectiveness of a complex industrial processing of metallurgical zinc-containing dusts in a real production is carried out. The value of the strategic flexibility of the project of the industrial processing of the zinc-containing technogenic raw material is determined on the basis of the developed systematic approach. The value of the processes of recycling for sustainable production of zinc in Russia is revealed.

In the article, the key stage of the value chain in the zinc industry of the Russian Federation is considered. The study aims to examine the impact of technological change on the development of value chains in the mining and metallurgical complex in the Urals region. The relevance of the assessment of the impact of technological change on the development of value chains in the processing of primary and technogenic raw materials in terms of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Complex is grounded. The methodological scheme of analysis of value chains and the impact on them of new technologies are developed in the study. It is shown that the analysis of value chains should be carried out, using as an analytical tool value added as well as a heuristic tool study of the value chain. Analysis of the value chain in the production of primary zinc and technogenic raw materials made in accordance with the proposed approach. An assessment of the value added in the production of zinc from primary raw materials held in the article. The gross volume and dynamics of revenue, net income and the cost of segments of the value chain in zinc production are analyzed. The leading role of the metallurgical segment in the value chain of the zinc industry is established. Share indexes of the metallurgical segment as a control link of the value chain in the structure of the consolidated revenue, profit, cost considered in the dynamics, the dynamics of change in the total expenditure on scientific and technological development and R & D expenditure are investigated. The conclusion about essential influence of new technologies on the change of value chains in terms of zinc production is confirmed.
