Assessment of the emission factors for potentially toxic elements from coal-fired boilers and sintering furnaces in a steel production plant

Greenhouse gases emission reduction for electric power generation sector by efficient dispatching of thermal plants integrated with renewable systems

“…This case study has been considered with the assumption that the generation from RES is zero because of atmospheric conditions (or system is disconnected from power grid for maintenance purposes). The conventional thermal plants will share all load of network area with restrictions of emissions imposed by emissions regulatory authorities such as KOYOTO PROTOCOL 73 , EPA 74 and European Commission 75 for sustainable environment. A gas fueled plant is selected with non-convex and linear constraints.…”

Spatial distribution and source apportionment of DTPA-extractable metals in soils surrounding the largest Serbian steel production plant

“…The PTEs are chemical elements of great environmental concern due to their persistence in both abiotic and biotic compartments, and a series of adverse effects on human health and the environment triggered at certain concentration levels. In the steel production process, the integrated coal-fired boiler and smelting furnace, where PTEs in fuels and ores are usually converted into metal oxides or chlorides [ 8 ], are the most important pollution sources. The diffusion distance of PTE emissions from steel industrial facilities depends on particle size distribution, dominant wind direction, stack height, and proportion of mercury and arsenic in the gaseous phase [ 9 ].…”
