Code of practice to reduce emissions of PM2.5 from aluminium sector: abstract

Official title: Code of practice to reduce emissions of fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) from the aluminium sector

Abstract

This code of practice describes operational activities in the primary aluminium sector and concerns related to emissions of fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) from these activities, including the production of aluminium from alumina using prebaked anode technology; prebaked anode production; green coke calcining and alumina production. It presents recommendations for the implementation of best practices to reduce emissions of PM_2.5. These recommended practices can be used by the aluminium industry, regulatory agencies and the general public as sources of technical and policy guidance but they do not replace regulatory requirements.
