Non-ferrous metals are metals that do not contain iron or ferrous. Non-ferrous metals include aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, nickel, titanium, tin, and precious metals such as gold and silver. Non-ferrous metals offer some compelling characteristic properties:
● High corrosioin and rust resistance
● Non-magnetic property
● Lower melting point
● Excellent thermal and electrical conductivities
● Ductility and malleability
● Lightweight
● Recyclability
As a result, these metals find extensive applications across automotive, aerospace, defense, electronics, electricity & energy, construction, healthcare and mechanical engineering industries.
Non-ferrous metal manufacturing process is energy intensive as it takes a great amount of fuels to smelt and refine metals. In addition, acids and alkalis and other chemical reagents are often used in the main process. As a result, a significant amount of particulate emissions occurs. Therefore, non-ferrous metal plants need efficient filtratioin solutions.
Fugitive dust emissions occur at multiple points through the manufacturing processes in non-ferror metal plants. Main sources of emission include raw material storage and handling, roasting, smelting, refining, melting and casting. Main air pollutants emitted include CO2, CO, NOx, PM10, sulfur oxides (SOx), VOCs (volatile organic compounds), dioxins & furans, NH3, hydrochloric acid (HCl), fluorine & inorganic compounds, chlorine & inorganic compounds, PAHs and PFCs. The dust ladden gas flow generated during the manufacturing processes has the following characteristics:
● High moisture level at high temperature
● Acid corrosive
● Fluctuated airflow velocity
● High dust density
