Abstract: The main sources of the pollution that causes the environmental degradation are urbanization and industrialization. There is rapid growth in the development of manufacturing industries associated with the Foundry plants. Especially, Steels and Iron manufacturing industries tends to produce a lot of pollutants in the environment. Advancements in several polluting materials have been made in manufacturing over the past decades and that the environmental impact has gradually shifted to so-called dispersed sources of pollution. Nonetheless, production processes in the industries always make up a significant share of India's total emissions, and further that their exposure to' non-sustainability' is very necessary. In these methods, production and extraction of metals from ores by different metallurgical processes and processes for melting, moulding and casting, etc. are followed by noise, heat, fly-ash, dust particles, nitrogen oxides, metals and sulphur evolution. There exists a need for development of a coke-less cupola furnace that avoids the harmful emission of gases which pollutes the environment and causes health issues for human beings
