Chapter 12: Frequent Questions
12.0 Introduction to Metallurgical Industry (1 pg, 10 K)
12.1 Primary Aluminum Production
- Final Section - October 1998 (PDF) (11 pp, 106 K)
- Errata - In Table 12.1-2 the number under Prebake Aluminum Cells, Cumulative Emission Factor, Total was corrected to be 5.0 and not 2.5. Also the emissions factors and size distributions in the second and third columns for Prebake Aluminum Cells and HSS Aluminum Cells are fugitive emissions measured at the roof monitor. The emission factor and size distributions in the fourth column for HSS Reduction Cells is for primary emissions. In Table 12.1-3, the Source Classification Codes were added to the table.
