7. METALLURGICAL INDUSTRY
The metallurgical industries can be broadly divided into primary and secondary metal production operations.
The term primary metals refers to production of the metal from ore. The secondary metals industry includes the
recovery of metal from scrap and salvage and the production of alloys from ingot.
The primary metals industries discussed in Sections 7.1 through 7.7 include the nonferrous operations of
primary aluminum production, copper smelters, lead smelters, and zinc smelters. These industries are
characterized by the large quantities of sulfur oxides and particulates emitted. The primary metals industry also
includes iron and steel mills, ferroalloy production, and metallurgical coke manufactuie.
The secondary metallurgical industries discussed in Sections 7.8 through 7.14 are aluminum operations, brass
and bronze ingots, gray iron foundries, lead smelting, magnesium smelting, steel foundries, and zinc processing.
The major air contaminants from these operations are particulates in the forms of metallic fumes, smoke, and
dust.
7.1 PRIMARY ALUMINUM PRODUCTION
7.1.1 Process Description1 Revised by William M. Vatavuk
Bauxite, a hydrated oxide of aluminum associated with silicon, titanium, and iron, is the base ore for aluminum
production. Most bauxite ore is purified by the Bayer process in which the ore is dried, ground in ball mills, and
mixed with sodium hydroxide. Iron oxide, silica, and other impurities are removed by settling, dilution, and
filtration. The aluminum hydroxide is precipitated from this diluted, cooled solution and calcined to produce
pure alumina, according to the reaction:
2A1(OH)3 *- 3H20 + A1203 (1)
Aluminium hydroxide Water Alumina
Aluminum metal is manufactured by the Hall-Heroult process, which involves the electrolytic reduction of
alumina dissolved in a molten salt bath of cryolite (a complex of NaF-A IF3) and various salt additives:
Electrolysis
2A1203 ^ 4A1 +3O2
Alumina Aluminum Oxygen '^'
The electrolysis is performed in a carbon crucible housed in a steel shell, known as a "pot." The electrolysis
employs the carbon crucible as the cathode (negative pole) and a carbon mass as the anode (positive pole). The
type of anode configuration used distinguishes the three types of pots: prebaked (PB), horizontal-stud Soderberg
(HSS), and vertical-stud Soderberg (VSS).
The major portion of aluminum produced in the United States (61.9 percent of 1970 production) is processed
in prebaked cells. In this type of pot, the anode consists of blocks that are formed from ;i carbon paste and baked
4/73

-------
in an oven prior to their use in the cell. These blocks-typically 14 to 24 per cell-are attached to metal rods and
serve as replaceable anodes. As the reduction proceeds, the carbon in these blocks is gradually consumed (at a rate
of about 1 inch per day) by reaction with the oxygen by-product (see Table 7.1-1).

The second most commonly used furnace (25.5 percent of 1970 production) is the horizontal-stud Soderberg.
This type of cell uses a "continuous" carbon anode; that is, a mixture of pitch and carbon aggregate called
"paste" is added at the top of the superstructure periodically, and the entire anode assembly is moved
downward as the carbon burns away. The cell anode is contained by aluminum sheeting and perforated steel
channels, through which electrode connections, called studs, are inserted into the anode paste. As the baking
anode is lowered, the lower row of studs and the bottom channel are removed, and the flexible electrical
connectors are moved to a higher row. One disadvantage of baking the paste in place is that heavy organic
materials (tars) are added to the cell effluent stream. The heavy tars often cause plugging of the ducts, fans, and
control equipment, an effect that seriously limits the choice of air cleaning equipment.
The vertical-stud Soderberg is similar to the horizontal-stud furnace, with the exception that the studs are
mounted vertically in the cell. The studs must be raised and replaced periodically, but that is a relatively simple
process. Representative raw material and energy requirements for aluminum reduction cells are presented in Table
7.1-1. A schematic representation of the reduction process is shown in Figure 7.1-1.
7.1.2 Emissions and Controls1'2'3
Emissions from aluminum reduction processes consist primarily of gaseous hydrogen fluoride and particulate
fluorides, alumina, hydrocarbons or organics, sulfur dioxide from the reduction cells and the anode baking
furnaces. Large amounts of particulates are also generated during the calcining of aluminum hydroxide, but the
economic value of this dust is such that extensive controls have been employed to reduce emissions to relatively
small quantities. Finally, small amounts of particulates are emitted from the bauxite grinding and materials
handling processes.
The source of fluoride emissions from reduction cells is the fluoride electrolyte, which contains cryolite,
aluminum fluoride (AlFj), and fluorspar (CaF^). For normal operation, the weight or "bath" ratio of sodium
fluoride (NaF) to A1F3 is maintained between 1.36 and 1.43 by the addition of Na^CC^, NaF, and A1F3.
Experience has shown that increasing this ratio has the effect of decreasing total fluoride effluents. Cell fluoride
emissions are also decreased by lowering the operating temperature and increasing the alumina content in the
bath. Specifically, the ratio of gaseous (mainly hydrogen fluoride) to particulate fluorides varies from 1.2 to 1.7
with PB and HSS cells, but attains a value of approximately 3.0 with VSS cells.

Particulate emissions from reduction cells consist of alumina and carbon from anode dusting, cryolite,
aluminum fluoride, calcium fluoride, chiolite (Na5Al3Fj4), and ferric oxide. Representative size distributions for
PB and HSS particulate effluents are presented in Table 7.1-2. Particulates less than 1 micron in diameter
represent the largest percentage (35 to 44 percent by weight) of uncontrolled effluents.
Moderate amounts of hydrocarbons derived from the anode paste are emitted from horizontal- and
vertical-Soderberg pots. In vertical cells these compounds are removed by combustion via integral gas burners
before the off-gases are released.
Because many different kinds of gases and particulates are emitted from reduction cells, many kinds of control
devices have been employed. To abate both gaseous and particulate emissions, one or more types of wet scrubbers
- spray tower and chambers, quench towers, floating beds, packed beds, Venturis, and self-induced sprays - are
used on all three cells and on anode baking furnaces. In addition, particulate control methods, such as
electrostatic precipitators (wet and dry), multiple cyclones, and dry scrubbers (fluid-bed and coated-filter types),
are employed with baking furnaces on PB and VSS cells. Dry alumina adsorption has been used at several PB and
VSS installations in foreign countries. In this technique, both gaseous and particulate fluorides are controlled by
passing the pot off-gases through the entering alumina feed, on which the fluorides are absorbed; the technique
has an overall control efficiency of 98 percent.
In the aluminum hydroxide calcining, bauxite grinding, and materials handling operations, various dry dust
collection devices—such as centrifugal collectors, multiple cyclones, or electrostatic precipitators—and wet
scrubbers or both may be used. Controlled and uncontrolled emission factors for fluorides and total particulates
are presented in Table 7.1.-3.

7.2 METALLURGICAL COKE MANUFACTURING
7. 2. 1 Process Description '
Coking is the process of heating coal in an atmosphere of low oxygen content, i.e., destructive distillation.
During this process, organic compounds in the coal break down to yield gases and a residue of relatively
nonvolatile nature. Two processes are used for the manufacture of metallurgical coke, the beehive process and the
by-product process; the by-product process accounts for more than 98 percent of the coke produced.
Beehive oven:1 The beehive is a refractory-lined enclosure with a dome-shaped roof. The coal charge is
deposited onto the floor of the beehive and leveled to give a uniform depth of material. Openings to the beehive
oven are then restricted to control the amount of air reaching the coal. The carbonization process begins in the
coal at the top of the pile and works down through it. The volatile matter being distilled escapes to the
atmosphere through a hole in the roof. At the completion of the coking time, the coke is "watered out" or
quenched.
By-product process: 1 The by-product process is oriented toward the recovery of the gases produced during the
coking cycle. The rectangular coking ovens are grouped together in a series, alternately interspersed with heating
flues, called a coke battery. Coal is charged to the ovens through ports in the top, which are then sealed. Heat is
supplied to the ovens by burning some of the coke gas produced. Coking is largely accomplished at temperatures
of 2000° to 2100° F (1 100° to 1 150° C) for a period of about 16 to 20 hours. At the end of the coking period,
the coke is pushed from the oven by a ram and quenched with water.
7.2.2 Emissions1
Visible smoke, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and other emissions originate from the following by-product
coking operations: (1) charging of the coal into the incandescent ovens, (2) oven leakage during the coking
period, (3) pushing the coke out of the ovens, and (4) quenching the hot coke. Virtually no attempts have been
made to prevent gaseous emissions from beehive ovens. Gaseous emissions from the by-product ovens are drawn
off to a collecting main and are subjected to various operations for separating ammonia, coke-oven gas, tar,
phenol, light oil (benzene, toluene, xylene), and pyridine. These unit operations are potential sources of
hydrocarbon emissions.
Oven-charging operations and leakage around poorly sealed coke-oven doors and lids are major sources of
gaseous emissions from by-product ovens. Sulfur is present in the coke-oven gas in the form of hydrogen sulfide
and carbon disulfide. If the gas is not desulfurized, the combustion process will emit sulfur dioxide.
Associated with both coking processes are the material-handling operations of unloading coal, storing coal,
grinding and sizing of coal, screening and crushing coke, and storing and loading coke. All of these operations are
potential particulate emission sources. In addition, the operations of oven charging, coke pushing and quenching
produce particulate emissions. The emission factors for coking operations are summarized in Table 7.2-1.

7.3 COPPER SMELTERS
7.3.1 Process Description1'2
Copper is produced primarily from low-grade sulfide ores, which are concentrated by gravity and flotation
methods. Copper is recovered from the concentrate by four steps: roasting, smelting, converting, and refining.
Copper sulfide concentrates are normally roasted in either multiple-hearth or fluidized-bed roasters to remove the
sulfur and then calcined in preparation for smelting in a reverberatory furnace. For about half the smelters the
roasting step is eliminated. Smelting removes other impurities as a slag with the aid of fluxes. The matter that
results from smelting is blown with air to remove the sulfur as sulfur dioxide, and the end product is a crude
metallic copper. A refining process further purifies the metal by insertion of green logs or natural gas. This is
often followed by electrolytic refining.
/ 7.3.2 Emissions and Controls2
I
_^ The high temperatures attained in roasting, smelting, and converting cause volatilization of a number of the
trace elements present in copper ores and concentrates. The raw waste gases from these processes contain not
only these fumes but also dust and sulfur oxide. Carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides may also be emitted, but
no quantitative data have been reported in the literature.
The value of the volatilized elements dictates efficient collection of fumes and dusts. A combination of
cyclones and electrostatic precipitators seems to be most often used. Table 7.3-1 summarizes the uncontrolled
emissions of particulates and sulfur oxides from copper smelters.

7.4 FERROALLOY PRODUCTION
7.4.1 Process Description1-2
Ferroalloy is the generic term for alloys consisting of iron and one or more other metals. Ferroalloys are used
in steel production as alloying elements and deoxidants. There are three basic types of ferroalloys: (1)
silicon-based alloys, including ferrosilicon and calciumsilicon; (2) manganese-based alloys, including fer-
romanganese and silicomanganese; and (3) chromium-based alloys, including ferrochromium and ferrosilico-
chrome.
The four major procedures used to produce ferroalloy and high-purity metallic additives for steelmaking are:
(1) blast furnace, (2) electrolytic deposition, (3) alumina silico-thermic process, and (4) electric smelting furnace.
Because over 75 percent of the ferroalloys are produced in electric smelting furnaces, this section deals only with
that type of furnace.
The oldest, simplest, and most widely used electric furnaces are the submerged-arc open type, although
semi-covered furnaces are also used. The alloys are made in the electric furnaces by reduction of suitable oxides.
For example, in making ferrochromium the charge may consist of chrome ore, limestone, quartz (silica), coal and
wood chips, along with scrap iron.
7.4.2 Emissions3
The production of ferroalloys has many dust- or fume-producing steps. The dust resulting from raw material
handling, mix delivery, and crushing and sizing of the solidified product can be handled by conventional
techniques and is ordinarily not a pollution problem. By far the major pollution problem arises from the
ferroalloy furnaces themselves. The conventional submerged-arc furnace utilizes carbon reduction of metallic
oxides and continuously produces large quantities of carbon monoxide. This escaping gas carries large quantities
of particulates of submicron size, making control difficult.
In an open furnace, essentially all of the carbon monoxide burns with induced air at the top of the charge, and
CO emissions are small. Particulate emissions from the open furnace, however, can be quite large. In the
semi-closed furnace, most or all of the CO is withdrawn from the furnace and burns with dilution air introduced
into the system. The unburned CO goes through particulate control devices and can be used as boiler fuel or can
be flared directly. Particulate emission factors for electric smelting furnaces are presented in Table 7.4-1. No
carbon monoxide emission data have been reported in the literature.

7.5 IRON AND STEEL MILLS Revised by William M. Vatavuk
and L. K. Fellcisen
7.5.1 General1
Iron and steel manufacturing processes may be grouped into five distinct sequential operations: (1) coke
production; (2) pig iron manufacture in blast furnaces; (3) steel-making processes using basic oxygen, electric arc,
and open hearth furnaces; (4) rolling mill operations; and (5) finishing operations (see Figure 7.5-1). The first
three of these operations encompass nearly all of the air pollution sources. Coke production is discussed in detail
elsewhere in this publication.
7.5.1.1 Pig Iron Manufacture2'3—Pig iron is produced in blast furnaces, which are large refractory-lined chambers
into which iron ore, coke, and limestone are charged and allowed to react with large amounts of hot air to
produce molten iron. Slag and blast furnace gases are by-products of this operation. The production of 1 unit
weight of pig iron requires an average charge of 1.55 unit weights of iron-bearing charge, 0.55 unit weight of
coke, 0.20 unit weight of limestone, and 2.3 unit weight of air. Blast furnace by-products consist of 0.2 unit
weight of slag, 0.02 unit weight of flue dust, and 2.5 unit weights of gas per unit of pig iron produced. Most of
the coke used in the process is produced in by-product coke ovens. The flue dust and other iron ore fines from
the process are converted into useful blast furnace charge via sintering operations.
Blast furnace combustion gas and the gases that escape from bleeder openings constitute the major sources of
particulate emissions. The dust in the gas consists of 35 to 50 percent iron, 4 to 14 percent carbon, 8 to 13
percent silicon dioxide, and small amounts of aluminum oxide, manganese oxide, calcium oxide, and other
materials. Because of its high carbon monoxide content, this gas has a low heating value (about 100 Btu/ft) and is
utilized as a fuel within the steel plant. Before it can be efficiently oxidized, however, the gas must be cleaned of
particulates. Initially, the gases pass through a settling chamber or dry cyclone, where about 60 percent of the
dust is removed. Next, the gases undergo a one- or two-stage cleaning operation. The primary cleaner is normally
a wet scrubber, which removes about 90 percent of the remaining particulates. The secondary cleaner is a
high-energy wet scrubber (usually a venturi) or an electrostatic precipitator, either of which can remove up to 90
percent of the particulates that have passed through the primary cleaner. Taken together, these control devices
provide an overall dust removal efficiency of approximately 96 percent.
All of the carbon monoxide generated in the gas is normally used for fuel. Conditions such as "slips," however,
can cause instantaneous emissions of carbon monoxide. Improvements in techniques for handling blast furnace
burden have greatly reduced the occurrence of slips. In Table 7.5-1 particulate and carbon monoxide emission
factors are presented for blast furnaces.
7.5.1.2 Steel-Making Processes -
7.5.1.2.1 Open Hearth Furnaces2'3-In the open hearth process, a mixture of scrap iron, steel, and pig iron is
melted in a shallow rectangular basin, or "hearth," for which various liquid gaseous fuels provide the heat.
Impurities are removed in a slag.

EMISSION FACTORS
4/73
-------
Emissions from open hearths consist of participates and small amounts of fluorides when fluoride-bearing ore,
fluorspar, is used in the charge. The particulates are composed pnmaiily of iron oxides, with a large portion (45
to 50 percent) in the 0 to 5 micrometer size range. The quantity of dust in the off-gas increases consideiably
when oxygen lancing is used (see Table 7.5-1).
The devices most commonly used to control the iron oxide and fluoride particulates are electrostatic
precipitators and high-energy venturi scrubbers, both of which effectively remove about 98 peicent of the
particulates. The scrubbers also remove nearly 99 percent of the gaseous fluorides and 95 percent of the
particulate fluorides.
7.5.1.2.2 Basic Oxygen Furnaces^-^—The basic oxygen process, also uilled the Linz-Donawitz (LD) piocess, is
employed to produce steel from a furnace charge composed of approximately 70 percent molten blast-furnace
metal and 30 percent scrap metal by use of a stream of commercially pure oxygen to oxidize the impurities.
principally carbon and silicon.
The reaction that converts the molten iron into steel generates a considerable amount of particulate matter,
largely in the form of iron oxide, although small amounts of fluorides may be present. Probably as the result of
the tremendous agitation of the molten bath by the oxygen lancing, the dust loadings vary from 5 to 8 grains pei
standard cubic foot (11 to 18 grams/standard cubic meter) and high percentages of the particles are in the 0 to 5
micrometer size range.
In addition, tremendous amounts of carbon monoxide (140 Ib/ton of steel and more) are generated by the
reaction. Combustion in the hood, direct flaring, or some other means of ignition is used in the stack to reduce
the actual carbon monoxide emissions to less than 3 Ib/ton (1.5 kg/MT).
The particulate control devices used are venturi scrubbers and electrostatic precipitators, both of which have
overall efficiencies of 99 percent. Furthermore, the scrubbers are 99 percent efficient in removing gaseous
fluorides (see Table 7.5-1).
7.5.1.2.3 Electric Arc Furnaces2'^- Electric furnaces are used primarily to produce special alloy steels 01 1>< melt
large amounts of scrap for reuse. Heat is furnished by direct-arc electrodes extending through the roof of the
furnace. In recent years, oxygen has been used to increase the rate of uniformity of scrap-melt-down and to
decrease power consumption.
The particulates, primarily oxides of iron, manganese, aluminum, and silicon, that evolve when steel is being
processed in an electric furnace result from the exposure of molten steel to extremely high temperatures. The
quantity of these emissions is a function of the cleanliness and composition of the scrap metal charge, the refining
procedure used (with or without oxygen lancing), and the refining time. As with open hearths, many of the
particulates (40 to 75 percent) are in the 0 to 5 micrometer range. Additionally, moderate amounts of carbon
monoxide (15 to 20 Ib/ton) are emitted.
Particulate control devices most widely used with electric furnaces are venturi scrubbers, which have a
collection efficiency of approximately 98 percent, and bag filters, which have collection efficiencies of 99 percent
or higher.
7.5.1.3 Scarfing3—Scarfing is a method of surface preparation of semi-finished steel A scarfing machine removes
surface defects from the steel billets and slabs, before they are shaped or rolled, by applying jets of oxygen to the
surface of the steel, which is at orange heat, thus removing a thin upper layer of the metal by rapid oxidation.
Emissions from scarfing operations consist of iron oxide fumes. The rate at which particulates are emitted is
dependent on the condition of the billets or slabs and the amount of metal removal required (Table 7.5-1).
Emission control techniques for the removal of fine particles vary among steel producers, but one of the most
commonly used devices is the electrostatic precipitator, which is approximately 94 percent efficient.

7.6 LEAD SMELTING Revised by William M. Vatavuk
7.6.1 Process Description !-3
Lead is usually found in nature as a sulfide ore containing small amounts of copper, iron, zinc, and other trace
elements. It is normally concentrated at the mine from an ore of 3 to 8 percent lead to an ore concentrate of 55
to 70 percent lead, containing from 13 to 19 percent free and uncombined sulfur by weight.
Normal practice for the production of lead metal from this concentrate involves the following operations
(see Figure 7.6-1):
1. Sintering, in which the concentrate lead and sulfur are oxidized to produce lead oxide and sulfur dioxide.
(Simultaneously, the charge material, comprised of concentrates, recycle sinter, sand, and other inert materials,
is agglomerated to form a dense, permeable material called sinter.)
2. Reducing the lead oxide contained in the sinter to produce molten lead bullion.
3. Refining the lead bullion to eliminate any impurities.
Sinter is produced by means of a sinter machine, a continuous steel-pallet conveyor belt moved by gears and
sprockets. Each pallet consists of perforated or slotted grates, beneath which are situated windboxes connected
to fans that provide a draft on the moving sinter charge. Depending on the direction of this draft, the sinter ma-
chine is either of the updraft or downdraft type. Except for the draft direction, however, all machines are simi-
lar in design, construction, and operation.
The sintering reaction is autogenous and occurs at a temperature of approximately 1000°C:
2 PbS + 3 02 -» 2 PbO + 2 S02 (!)
Operating experience has shown that system operation and product quality are optimum when the sulfur content
of the sinter charge is between 5 and 7 percent by weight. To maintain this desired sulfur content, sulfide-free
fluxes such as silica and limestone, plus large amounts of recycled sinter and smelter residues are added to the
mix. The quality of the product sinter is usually determined by its hardness (Ritter Index), which is inversely
proportional to the sulfur content. Hard quality sinter (low sulfur content) is preferred because it resists crushing
during discharge from the sinter machine. Conversely, undersized sinter will usually result from insufficient de-
sulfurization and is recycled for further processing.
Of the two kinds of sintering machines used, the updraft design is superior for many reasons. First, the sinter
bed height is more permeable (and, hence, can be greater) with an updraft machine, thereby permitting a higher
production rate than that of a downdraft machine of similar dimensions. Secondly, the small amounts of ele-
mental lead that form during sintering will solidify at their point of formation with updraft machines; whereas, in
downdraft operation, the metal tends to flow downward and collect on the grates or at the bottom of the sinter
charge, thus causing increased pressure drop and attendant reduced blower capacity. In addition, the updraft
system exhibits the capability of producing sinter of higher lead content and requires less maintenance than the
downdraft machine. Finally, and most important from an air pollution control standpoint, updraft sintering
can produce a single strong SO2 effluent stream from the operation, by use of weak gas re circulation. This, in
turn, permits the more efficient and economical use of such control methods as sulfuric acid recovery plants.
Lead reduction is carried out in a blast furnace, basically a water-jacketed shaft furnace supported by a re-
fractory base. Tuyeres, through which combustion air is admitted under pressure, are located near the bottom
and are evenly spaced on either side of the furnace.
The furnace is charged with a mixture of sinter (80 to 90 percent of charge), metallurgical coke (8 to 14 per-
cent of the charge), and other materials, such as limestone, silica, litharge, slag-forming constituents, and various
recycled and clean-up materials. In the furnace the sinter is reduced to lead bullion; most of the impurities are

eliminated in the slag. Solid products from the blast furnace generally separate into four layers: speiss (basic-
ally arsenic and antimony, the lightest material); matte (composed of copper sulfide and other metal sulfides);
slag (primarily silicates); and lead bullion. The first three layers are combined as slag, which is continually
collected from the furnace and either processed at the smelter for its metal content or shipped to treatment
facilities.
A certain amount of SC>2 is also generated in blast furnaces due to the presence of small quantities of residual
lead sulfide and lead sulfates in the sinter feed. The quantity of these emissions is a function of not only the re-
sidual sulfur content in the sinter, but of the amount of sulfur that is captured by copper and other impurities in
the slag.
Rough lead bullion from the blast furnace usually requires preliminary treatment (dressing) in steel cast-iron
kettles before undergoing refining operations. First, the bullion is cooled to 700 to 800°F; copper and small
amounts of sulfur, arsenic, antimony, and nickel are removed from solution and collect on the surface as a dross.
This dross, in turn, is treated in a reverb eratory-type furnace where the copper and other metal impurities are
further concentrated before being routed to copper smelters for their eventual recovery. Drossed lead bullion is
further treated for copper removal by the addition of sulfur-bearing material and zinc and/or aluminum to lower
the copper content to approximately 0.01 percent.
The final phase of smelting, the refining of the bullion is cast-iron kettles, occurs in five steps:
1 . Removal of antimony, tin, and arsenic;
2. Removal of precious metals via the Parke's Process, in which zinc metal combines with gold and silver to
form an insoluble intermetallic at operating temperatures;
3. Vacuum removal of zinc;
4. Bismuth removal using the Betterson Process, which involves the addition of calcium and magnesium,
which in turn, form an insoluble compound with the bismuth that is skimmed from the kettle; and
5. Removal of remaining traces of metal impurities by addition of NaOH and
The final refined lead, commonly of 99.99 to 99.999 percent purity, is then cast into 100-pound pigs before
shipment.
7.6.2 Emissions and Controls 1.2
Each of the three major lead smelting operations generates substantial quantities of particulates and/or sulfur
dioxide.
Nearly 85 percent of the sulfur present in the lead ore concentrate is eliminated in the sintering operation.
In handling these process offgases, either a single weak stream is taken from the machine hood at less than 2 per-
cent SC>2 or two streams are taken— one weak stream (<0.5 percent 862) from the discharge end of the machine
and one strong stream (5 to 7 percent SC>2) taken from the feed end. Single stream operation is generally used
when there is little or no market for the recovered sulfur, so that the uncontrolled weak SC>2 stream is emitted
to the atmosphere. Where there is a potential sulfur market, however, the strong stream is sent to a sulfuric acid
plant, and the weak stream is vented after particulate removal.
When dual gas stream operation is used with updraft sinter machines, the weak gas stream can be recirculated
through the bed to mix with the strong gas stream, resulting in a single stream with an SC>2 concentration of
about 6 percent. This technique has the overall effect of decreasing machine production capacity, but does per-
mit a more convenient and economical recovery of the S02 via sulfuric acid plants and other control methods.
Without weak gas recirculation, the latter portion of the sinter machine acts as a cooling zone for the sinter
and consequently assists in the reduction of dust formation during product discharge and screening. However,
5/74 Metallurgical Industry 7.6-3
-------
when recirculation is used, the sinter is usually discharged in a relatively hot state (400 to 500°C), with an attend-
ant increase in particulate formation. Methods for reducing these dust quantities include recirculation of off-
gases through the sinter bed, relying upon the filtering effect of the latter, or ducting the gases from the dis-
charge through a particulate collection device directly to the atmosphere. Because reaction activity has ceased
in the discharge area in these cases, these latter gases contain little SO2-
The particulate emissions from sinter machines consist of from 5 to 20 percent of the concentrated ore feed.
When expressed in terms of product weight, these emissions are an estimated 106.5 kg/MT (213 Ib/ton) of lead pro-
duced. This value, along with other particulate and SC>2 factors, appears in Table 7.6-1.

Typical material balances from domestic lead smelters indicate that about 10 to 20 percent of the sulfur in the
ore concentrate fed to the sinter machine is eliminated in the blast furnace. However, only half of this amount
(about 7 percent of the total) is emitted as SC>2; the remainder is captured by the slag. The concentration of this
SC>2 stream can vary from 500 to 2500 ppm by volume, depending on the amount of dilution air injected to ox-
idize the carbon monoxide and cool the stream before baghouse treatment for particulate removal.
Particulate emissions from blast furnaces contain many different kinds of material, including a range of lead
oxides, quartz, limestone, iron pyrites, iron-lime-silicate slag, arsenic, and other metals-containing compounds
associated with lead ores. These particles readily agglomerate, are primarily submicron in size, difficult to wet,
cohesive, and will bridge and arch in hoppers. On the average, this dust loading is quite substantial (see Table
7.6-1).
Virtually no sulfur dioxide emissions are associated with the various refining operations. However, a small
amount of particulates is generated by the dross reverberatory furnace (10 kg/MT of lead).
Finally, minor quantities of particulates are generated by ore crushing and materials handling operations.
These emission factors are also presented in Table 7.6-1.
Methods used to control emission from lead smelter operations fall into two broad categories-particulate
and sulfur dioxide control techniques. The most commonly employed high-efficiency particulate control devices
are fabric filters and electrostatic precipitators, which, in turn, often follow centrifugal collectors and tubular
coolers (pseudogravity collectors). Three of the six lead smelters presently operating in the United States use
single absorption sulfuric acid plants for control of sulfur dioxide emissions from sinter machines and, occasion-
ally, blast furnaces. Other technically feasible S02 control methods are elemental sulfur recovery plants and

7.7 ZINC SMELTING
7.7.1 Process Description
1,2
As stated previously, most domestic zinc comes from zinc and lead ores. Another important source of raw
material for zinc metal has been zinc oxide from fuming furnaces. For efficient recovery of zinc, sulfur must be
removed from concentrates to a level of less than 2 percent. This is done by fluidized beds or multiple-hearth
roasting occasionally followed by sintering. Metallic zinc can be produced from the roasted ore by the horizontal
or vertical retort process or by the electrolytic process if a high-purity zinc is needed.
7.7.2 Emissions and Controls1 >2
Dust, fumes, and sulfur dioxide are emitted from zinc concentrate roasting or sintering operations. Particulates
may be removed by electrostatic precipitators or baghouses. Sulfur dioxide may be converted directly into
sulfuric acid or vented. Emission factors for zinc smelting are presented in Table 7.7-1.

7.8 SECONDARY ALUMINUM OPERATIONS
7.8.1 Process Description1 <2
Secondary aluminum operations involve making lightweight metal alloys for industrial castings and ingots.
Copper, magnesium, and silicon are the most common alloying constituents. Aluminum alloys for castings are
melted in small crucible furnaces charged by hand with pigs and foundry returns. Larger melting operations use
open-hearth reverberatory furnaces charged with the same type of materials but by mechanical means. Small
operations sometimes use sweating furnaces to treat dirty scrap in preparation for smelting.
To produce a high-quality aluminum product, fluxing is practiced to some extent in all secondary aluminum
melting. Aluminum fluxes are expected to remove dissolved gases and oxide particles from the molten bath.
Sodium and various mixtures of potassium or sodium chloride with cryolite and chlorides of aluminum zinc are
used as fluxes. Chlorine gas is usually lanced into the molten bath to reduce the magnesium content by reacting
to form magnesium and aluminum chlorides.^
7.8.2 Emissions2
Emissions from secondary aluminum operations include fine particulate matter and gaseous chlorine. A large
part of the material charged to a reverberatory furnace is low-grade scrap and chips. Paint, dirt, oil, grease, and
other contaminants from this scrap cause large quantities of smoke and fumes to be discharged. Even if the scrap
is clean, large surface-to-volume ratios require the use of more fluxes, which can cause serious air pollution
problems. Table 7.8-1 presents particulate emission factors for secondary aluminum operations.

7.9 BRASS AND BRONZE INGOTS (COPPER ALLOYS)
7.9.1 Process Description1
Obsolete domestic and industrial copper-bearing scrap is the basic raw material of the brass and bronze ingot
industry. The scrap frequently contains any number of metallic and nonmetallic impurities, which can be
removed by such methods as hand sorting, magnetizing, heat methods such as sweating or burning, and gravity
separation in a water medium.
Brass and bronze ingots are produced from a number of different furnaces through a combination of melting,
smelting, refining, and alloying of the processed scrap material. Reverberatory, rotary, and crucible furnaces are
the ones most widely used, and the choice depends on the size of the melt and the alloy desired. Both the
reverberatory and the rotary furnaces are normally heated by direct firing, in which the flame and gases come
into direct contact with the melt. Processing is essentially the same in any furnace except for the differences in
the types of alloy being handled. Crucible furnaces are usually much smaller and are used principally for
special-purpose alloys.
7.9.2 Emissions and Controls1
The principal source of emissions in the brass and bronze ingot industry is the refining furnace. The exit gas
from the furnace may contain the normal combustion products such as fly ash, soot, and smoke. Appreciable
amounts of zinc oxide are also present in this exit gas. Other sources of particulate emissions include the
preparation of raw materials and the pouring of ingots.
The only air pollution control equipment that is generally accepted in the brass and bronze ingot industry is
the baghouse filter, which can reduce emissions by as much as 99.9 percent. Table 7.9-1 summarizes uncontrolled
emissions from various brass and bronze melting furnaces.

7.10 GRAY IRON FOUNDRY
7.10.1 Process Descriptionl
Three types of furnaces are used to produce gray iron castings: cupolas, reverberatory furnaces, and electric
induction furnaces. The cupola is the major source of molten iron for the production of castings. In operation, a
bed of coke is placed over the sand bottom in the cupola. After the bed of coke has begun to burn properly,
alternate layers of coke, flux, and metal are charged into the cupola. Combustion air is forced into the cupola,
causing the coke to burn and melt the iron. The molten iron flows out through a taphole.
Electric furnaces are commonly used where special alloys are to be made. Pig iron and scrap iron are charged
to the furnace and melted, and alloying elements and fluxes are added at specific intervals. Induction furnaces are
used where high-quality, clean metal is available for charging.
7.10.2 Emissions1
Emissions from cupola furnaces include gases, dust, fumes, and smoke and oil vapors. Dust arises from dirt on
the metal charge and from fines in the coke and limestone charge. Smoke and oil vapor arise primarily from the
partial combustion and distillation of oil from greasy scrap charged to the furnace. Also, the effluent from the
cupola furnace has a high carbon monoxide content that can be controlled by an afterburner. Emissions from
reverberatory and electric induction furnaces consist primarily of metallurgical fumes and are relatively low.
Table 7.10-1 presents emission factors for the manufacture of iron castings.

7.11 SECONDARY LEAD SMELTING Revised by William M. Vatavuk
7.11.1 Process Description 1-3
In the secondary smelting, refining, and alloying of lead, the three types of furnace most commonly used are
reverberatory, blast or cupola, and pot. The grade of metal to be produced-soft, semisoft, or hard-dictates
the type of funace to be used.
Used for the production of semisoft lead, the reverberatory furnace reclaims this metal from a charge of lead
scrap, battery plates, oxides, drosses, and lead residues. The furnace consists of an outer shell built in the shape
of a rectangular box lined with refractory brick. To provide heat for melting, the charge gas or oil-fired burners
are usually placed at one end of the furnace, and the material to be melted is charged through an opening in the
shell.
The charge is placed in the furnace in such a manner as to keep a small mound of unmelted material on top
of the bath. Continuously, as this mound becomes molten at the operating temperature (approximately 1250°C),
more material is charged. Semisoft lead is tapped off periodically as the level of the metal rises in the furnace.
The amount of metal recovered is about 50 to 60 kilograms per square meter of hearth area per hour.
A similar kind of furnace—the revolving (rotary) reverberatory-is used at several European installations for
the recovery of lead from battery scrap and lead sulfate sludge. Its charge makeup and operating characteristics
are identical to the reverberatories used in the United States, except that the furnace slowly revolves as the charge
is heated.
The blast (cupola) furnace, used to produce "hard" lead, is normally charged with the following: rerun slag
from previous runs (4.5 percent); cast-iron scrap (4.5 percent); limestone (3 percent); coke (5.5 percent); and
drosses from pot furnace refining, oxides, and reverberatory slag (82.5 percent). Similar to an iron cupola, the
furnace consists of a steel sheet lined with refractory material. Air, under high pressure, is introduced at the
bottom through tuyeres to permit combustion of the coke, which provides the heat and a reducing atmosphere.
As the charge material melts, limestone and iron form an oxidation-retardant flux that floats to the top, and
the molten lead flows from the furnace into a holding pot at a nearly continuous rate. The rest (30 percent) of
the tapped molten material is slag, 5 percent of which is retained for later rerun. From the holding pot, the lead
is usually cast into large ingots called "buttons" or "sows."
Pot-type furnaces are used for remelting, alloying, and refining processes. These furnaces are usually gas fired
and range in size from 1 to 45 metric tons capacity. Their operation consists simply of charging ingots of lead or
alloy material and firing the charge until the desired product quality is obtained.
Refining processes most commonly employed are those for the removal of copper and antimony to produce

Figure 7.11-1 illustrates these three secondary lead smelting processes.
7.11.2 Emissions and Controlsi.2
The emissions and controls from secondary lead smelting processes may be conveniently considered according
to the type of furnace employed.
With the reverberatory furnaces, the temperature maintained is high enough to oxidize the sulfides present in
the charge to sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide, which, in turn, are emitted in the exit gas. Also emitted are such
particulates (at concentrations of 16 to 50 grams per cubic meter) as oxides, sulfides, and sulfates of lead, tin,

The most practical control system for a reverberatory furnace consists of a gas settling/cooling chamber and a
fabric filter. This system effects a particulate removal of well in excess of 99 percent. Because of the potential
presence of sparks and flammable material, a great deal of care is taken to control the temperature of the gas
stream. In turn, the type of filter cloth selected depends upon stream temperature and such parameters as gas

Combustion air from the tuyeres passing through the blast furnace charge conveys metal oxides, bits of coke,
and other particulates present in the charge. The particulate is roughly 7 percent by weight of the total charge
(up to 44 g/m3). In addition to particulates, the stack gases also contain carbon monoxide. However, the carbon
monoxide and any volatile hydrocarbons present are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water in the upper portion
of the furnace, which effectively acts as an afterburner.
Fabric filters, preceded by radiant cooling columns, evaporative water coolers, or air dilution jets, are also used
to control blast furnace particulates. Overall efficiencies exceeding 95 percent are common (see Table 7.11-2).
Representative size distributions of particles in blast and reverberatory furnace streams are presented in Table
7.11-3.
Compared with the other furnace types, pot furnace emissions are low (see Table 7.11-1). However, to main-
tain a hygienic working environment, pot furnace off gases, usually along with emission streams from other
furnaces, are directed to fabric filter systems.

7.12 SECONDARY MAGNESIUM SMELTING
7.12.1 Process Description1
Magnesium smelting is carried out in crucible or pot-type furnaces that are charged with magnesium scrap
and fired by gas, oil, or electric heating. A flux is used to cover the surface of the molten metal because
magnesium will burn in air at the pouring temperature (approximately 1500°F or 815°C). The molten
magnesium, usually cast by pouring into molds, is annealed in ovens utilizing an atmosphere devoid of oxygen.
7.12.2 Emissions1
Emissions from magnesium smelting include participate magnesium (MgO) from the melting, nitrogen oxides
from the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen by the furnace temperatures, and sulfur dioxide losses from annealing
oven atmospheres. Factors affecting emissions include the capacity of the furnace; the type of flux used on the
molten material; the amount of lancing used; the amount of contamination of the scrap, including oil and other
hydrocarbons; and the type and extent of control equipment used on the process. The emission factors for a pot
furnace are shown in Table 7.12-1.

7.13 STEEL FOUNDRIES
7.13.1 Process Descriptionl
Steel foundries produce steel castings by melting steel metal and pouring it into molds. The melting of steel for
castings is accomplished in one of five types of furnaces: direct electric-arc, electric induction, open-hearth,
crucible, and pneumatic converter. The crucible and pneumatic converter are not in widespread use, so this
section deals only with the remaining three types of furnaces. Raw materials supplied to the various melting
furnaces include steel scrap of all types, pig iron, ferroalloys, and limestone. The basic melting process operations
are furnace charging, melting, tapping the furnace into a ladle, and pouring the steel into molds. An integral part
of the steel foundry operation is the preparation of casting molds, and the shakeout and cleaning of these
castings. Some common materials used in molds and cores for hollow casting include sand, oil, clay, and resin.
Shakeout is the operation by which the cool casting is separated from the mold. The castings are commonly
cleaned by shot-blasting, and surface defects such as fins are removed by burning and grinding.
7 1 "* ^missions1
Particulate emissions from steel foundry operations include iron oxide fumes, sand fines, graphite, and metal
dust. Gaseous emissions from foundry operations include oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, and hydrocarbons.
Factors affecting emissions from the melting process include the quality and cleanliness of the scrap and the
amount of oxygen lancing. The concentrations of oxides of nitrogen are dependent upon operating conditions in
the melting unit, such as temperature and the rate of cooling of the exhaust gases. The concentration of carbon
monoxide in the exhaust gases is dependent on the amount of draft on the melting furnace. Emissions from the
shakeout and cleaning operations, mostly particulate matter, vary according to type and efficiency of dust
collection. Gaseous emissions from the mold and baking operations are dependent upon the fuel used by the
ovens and the temperature reached in these ovens. Table 7.13-1 summarizes the emission factors for steel
foundries.

7.14 SECONDARY ZINC PROCESSING
7.14.1 Process Description1
Zinc processing includes zinc reclaiming, zinc oxide manufacturing, and zinc galvanizing. Zinc is separated
from scrap containing lead, copper, aluminum, and iron by careful control of temperature in the furnace,
allowing each metal to be removed at its melting range. The furnaces typically employed are the pot, muffle,
reverberatory, or electric induction. Further refining of the zinc can be done in retort distilling or vaporization
furnaces where the vaporized zinc is condensed to the pure metallic form. Zinc oxide is produced by distilling
metallic zinc into a dry air stream and capturing the subsequently formed oxide in a baghouse. Zinc galvanizing is
carried out in a vat or in bath-type dip tanks utilizing a flux cover. Iron and steel pieces to be coated are cleaned
and dipped into the vat through the covering flux.
7.14.2 Emissions1
A potential for particulate emissions, mainly zinc oxide, occurs if the temperature of the furnace exceeds
1100°F (595°C). Zinc oxide (ZnO) may escape from condensers or distilling furnaces, and because of its
extremely small particle size (0.03 to 0.5 micron), it may pass through even the most efficient collection systems.
Some loss of zinc oxides occurs during the galvanizing processes, but these losses are small because of the flux
cover on the bath and the relatively low temperature maintained in the bath. Some emissions of particulate
ammonium chloride occur when galvanized parts are dusted after coating to improve their finish. Another
potential source of emissions of particulates and gaseous zinc is the tapping of zinc-vaporizing muffle furnaces to
remove accumulated slag residue. Emissions of carbon monoxide occur when zinc oxide is reduced by carbon.
Nitrogen oxide emissions are also possible because of the high temperature associated with the smelting and the
resulting fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. Table 7.14-1 summarizes the emission factors from zinc processing.

8. MINERAL PRODUCTS INDUSTRY
This section involves the processing and production of various minerals. Mineral processing is characterized by
particulate emissions in the form of dust. Frequently, as in the case of crushing and screening, this dust is identical
to the material being handled. Emissions also occur through handling and storing the finished product because
this material is often dry and fine. Particulate emissions from some of the processes such as quarrying, yard
storage, and dust from transport are difficult to control. Most of the emissions from the manufacturing processes
discussed in this section, however, can be reduced by conventional particulate control equipment such as
cyclones, scrubbers, and fabric filters. Because of the wide variety in processing equipment and final product,
emissions cover a wide range; however, average emission factors have been presented for general use.
8.1 ASPHALTIC CONCRETE PLANTS
Revised by Dennis H. Ackerson
and James H. Southerland
8.1.1 Process Description
Selecting and handling the raw material is the first step in the production of asphaltic concrete, a paving
substance composed of a combination of aggregates uniformly mixed and coated with asphalt cement. Different
applications of asphaltic concrete require different aggregate size distributions, so that the raw aggregates are
crushed and screened at the quarries. The coarse aggregate usually consists of crushed stone and gravel, but waste
materials, such as slag from steel mills or crushed glass, can be used as raw material.
Plants produce finished asphaltic concrete through either batch (Figure 8.1-1) or continuous (Figure 8.1-2)
aggregate mixing operations. The raw aggregate is normally stock-piled near the plant at a location where the
moisture content will stabilize between 3 and 5 percent by weight.
As processing for either type of operation begins, the aggregate is hauled from the storage piles and placed in
the appropriate hoppers of the cold-feed unit. The material is metered from the hoppers onto a conveyor belt and
is transported into a gas- or oil-fired rotary dryer. Because a substantial portion of the heat is transferred by
radiation, dryers are equipped with flights that are designed to tumble the aggregate and promote drying.
As it leaves the dryer, the hot material drops into a bucket elevator and is transferred to a set of vibrating
screens where it is classified by size into as many as four different grades. At this point it enters the mixing
operation.
In a batch plant, the classified aggregate drops into one of four large bins. The operator controls the aggregate
size distribution by opening individual bins and allowing the classified aggregate to drop into a weigh hopper until
the desired weight is obtained. After all the material is weighed out, the sized aggregates are dropped into a mixer
and mixed dry for about 30 seconds. The asphalt, which is a solid at ambient temperatures, is pumped from
heated storage tanks, weighed, and then injected into the mixer. The hot, mixed batch is then dropped into a
truck and hauled to the job site.

In a continuous plant, the classified aggregate drops into a set of small bins, which collect and meter the
classified aggregate to the mixer. From the hot bins, the aggregate is metered through a set of feeder conveyors to
another bucket elevator and into the mixer. Asphalt is metered into the inlet end of the mixer, and retention time
is controlled by an adjustable dam at the end of the mixer. The mix flows out of the mixer into a hopper from
which the trucks are loaded.
8.1.2 Emissions and Controls3'4
Dust sources are the rotary dryer; the hot aggregate elevators; the vibrating screens; and the hot-aggregate
storage bins, weigh hoppers, mixers, and transfer points. The largest dust emission source is the rotary dryer. In
some plants, the dust from the dryer is handled separately from emissions from the other sources. More
commonly, however, the dryer, its vent lines, and other fugitive sources are treated in combination by a single
collector and fan system.
The choice of applicable control equipment ranges from dry, mechanical collectors to scrubbers and fabric
collectors; attempts to apply electrostatic precipitators have met with little success. Practically all plants use
primary dust collection equipment, such as large diameter cyclone, skimmer, or settling chambers. These
chambers are often used as classifiers with the collected materials being returned to the hot aggregate elevator to
combine with the dryer aggregate load. The air discharge from the primary collector is seldom vented to the
atmosphere because high emission levels would result. The primary collector effluent is therefore ducted to a
secondary or even to a tertiary collection device.
Emission factors for asphaltic concrete plants are presented in Table 8.1-1. Particle size information has not
been included because the particle size distribution varies with the aggregate being used, the mix being made, and
the type of plant operation.

8.2 ASPHALT ROOFING
8.2.1 Process Description1
The manufacture of asphalt roofing felts and shingles involves saturating fiber media with asphalt by means of
dipping and/or spraying. Although it is not always done at the same site, preparation of the asphalt saturant is an
integral part of the operation. This preparation, called "blowing," consists of oxidizing the asphalt by bubbling
air through the liquid asphalt for 8 to 16 hours. The saturant is then transported to the saturation tank or spray
area. The saturation of the felts is accomplished by dipping, high-pressure sprays, or both. The final felts are made
in various weights: 15, 30, and 55 pounds per 100 square feet (0.72, 1.5, and 2.7 kg/m2). Regardless of the
weight of the final product, the makeup is approximately 40 percent dry felt and 60 percent asphalt saturant.
8.2.2 Emissions and Controls1
The major sources of particulate emissions from asphalt roofing plants are the asphalt blowing operations and
the felt saturation. Another minor source of particulates is the covering of the roofing material with roofing
granules. Gaseous emissions from the saturation process have not been measured but are thought to be slight
because of the initial driving off of contaminants during the blowing process.

saturator with good ventilation through one or more collection devices, which include combinations of wet

8.3 BRICKS AND RELATED CLAY PRODUCTS Revised by Dennis H. Ackerson
8.3.1 Process Description
The manufacture of brick and related products such as clay pipe, pottery, and some types of refractory brick
involves the mining, grinding, screening, and blending of the raw materials, and the forming, cutting or shaping,
drying or curing, and firing of the final product.
Surface clays and shales are mined in open pits; most fine clays are found underground. After mining, the
material is crushed to remove stones and stirred before it passes onto screens that are used to segregate the
particles by size.
At the start of the forming process, clay is mixed with water, usually in a pug mill. The three principal
processes for forming brick are: stiff-mud, soft-mud, and dry-process. In the stiff-mud process, sufficient water is
added to give the clay plasticity; bricks are then formed by forcing the clay through a die and using cutter wire to
separate the bricks. All structural tile and most brick are formed by this process. The soft-mud process is usually
used when the clay contains too much water for the stiff-mud process. The clay is mixed with water until the
moisture content reaches 20 to 30 percent, and the bricks are formed in molds. In the dry-press process, clay is
mixed with a small amount of water and formed in steel molds by applying a pressure of 500 to 1500 psi. The
brick manufacturing process is shown in Figure 8.3-1.
Before firing, the wet clay units that have been formed are almost completely dried in driers that are usually
heated by waste heat from the kilns. Many types of kilns are used for firing brick; however, the most common are
the tunnel kiln and the periodic kiln. The downdraft periodic kiln is a permanent brick structure that has a
number of fireholes where fuel is fired into the furnace. The hot gases from the fuel are drawn up over the bricks,
down through them by underground flues, and out of the oven to the chimney. Although fuel efficiency is not as
high as that of a tunnel kiln because of lower heat recovery, the uniform temperature distribution through the
kiln leads to a good quality product. In most tunnel kilns, cars carrying about 1200 bricks each travel on rails
through the kiln at the rate of one 6-foot car per hour. The fire zone is located near the middle of the kiln and
remains stationary.
In all kilns, firing takes place in six steps: evaporation of free water, dehydration, oxidation, vitrification,
flashing, and cooling. Normally, gas or residual oil is used for heating, but coal may be used. Total heating time
varies with the type of product; for example, 9-inch refractory bricks usually require 50 to 100 hours of firing.
Maximum temperatures of about 2000°F (1090°C) are used in firing common brick.
8.3.2 Emissions and Controls1 >3
Particulate matter is the primary emission in the manufacture of bricks. The main source of dust is the
materials handling procedure, which includes drying, grinding, screening, and storing the raw material.
Combustion products are emitted from the fuel consumed in the curing, drying, and firing portion of the process.
Fluorides, largely in gaseous form, are also emitted from brick manufacturing operations. Sulfur dioxide may be
emitted from the bricks when temperatures reach 2500°F (1370 C) or greater; however, no data on such
emissions are available.4

A variety of control systems may be used to reduce both particulate and gaseous emissions. Almost any type
of particulate control system will reduce emissions from the material handling process, but good plant design and
hooding are also required to keep emissions to a minimum.
The emissions of fluorides can be reduced by operating the kiln at temperatures below 2000°F (1090°C) and
by choosing clays with low fluoride content. Satisfactory control can be achieved by scrubbing kiln gases with
water; wet cyclonic scrubbers are available that can remove fluorides with an efficiency of 95 percent, or higher.
Emission factors for brick manufacturing are presented in Table 8.3-1. Insufficient data are available to present

8.4 CALCIUM CARBIDE MANUFACTURING
8.4. 1 Process Description
l '2
Calcium carbide is manufactured by heating a mixture of quicklime (CaO) and carbon in an electric-arc
furnace, where the lime is reduced by the coke to calcium carbide and carbon monoxide. Metallurgical coke,
petroleum coke, or anthracite coal is used as the source of carbon. About 1 900 pounds (860 kg) of lime and 1300
pounds (600 kg) of coke yield 1 ton (1 MT) of calcium carbide. There are two basic types of carbide
furnaces: (1) the open furnace, in which the carbon monoxide burns to carbon dioxide when it comes in contact
with air above the charge; and (2) the closed furnace, in which the gas is collected from the furnace. The molten
calcium carbide from the furnace is poured into chill cars or bucket conveyors and allowed to solidify. The
finished calcium carbide is dumped into a jaw crusher and then into a cone crusher to form a product of the
desired size
8.4.2 Emissions and Controls
Particulates, acetylene, sulfur compounds, and some carbon monoxide are emitted from the calcium carbide
plants. Table 8.4-1 contains emission factors based on one plant in which some particulate matter escapes from
the hoods over each furnace and the remainder passes through wet-impingement-type scrubbers before being
vented to the atmosphere through a stack. The coke dryers and the furnace-room vents are also sources of
emissions.

8.5 CASTABLE REFRACTORIES
8.5.1 Process Description1 ~3
Castable or fused-cast refractories are manufactured by carefully blending such components as alumina,
zirconia, silica, chrome, and magnesia; melting the mixture in an electric-arc furnace at temperatures of 3200 to
4500°F (1760 to 2480°C); pouring it into molds; and slowly cooling it to the solid state. Fused refractories are
less porous and more dense than kiln-fired refractories.
8.5.2 Emissions and Controls1
Particulate emissions occur during the drying, crushing, handling, and blending of the components; during the
actual melting process; and in the molding phase. Fluorides, largely in the gaseous form, may also be emitted
during the melting operations.
The general types of particulate controls may be used on the materials handling aspects of refractory
manufacturing. Emissions from the electric-arc furnace, however, are largely condensed fumes and consist of very
fine particles. Fluoride emissions can be effectively controlled with a scrubber. Emission factors for castable
refractories manufacturing are presented in Table 8.5-1.

8.6 PORTLAND CEMENT MANUFACTURING Revised by Dennis H. Ackerson
8.6.1 Process Description 1"3
Portland cement manufacture accounts for about 98 percent of the cement production in the United States.
The more than 30 raw materials used to make cement may be divided into four basic components: lime
(calcareous), silica (siliceous), alumina (argillaceous), and iron (ferriferous). Approximately 3200 pounds of dry
raw materials are required to produce 1 ton of cement. Approximately 35 percent of the raw material weight is
removed as carbon dioxide and water vapor. As shown in Figure 8.6-1, the raw materials undergo separate
crushing after the quarrying operation, and, when needed for processing, are proportioned, ground, and blended
using either the wet or dry process.
In the dry process, the moisture content of the raw material is reduced to less than 1 percent either before or
during the grinding operation. The dried materials are then pulverized into a powder and fed directly into a rotary
kiln. Usually, the kiln is a long, horizontal, steel cylinder with a refractory brick lining. The kilns are slightly
inclined and rotate about the longitudinal axis. The pulverized raw materials are fed into the upper end and travel
slowly to the lower end. The kilns are fired from the lower end so that the hot gases pass upward and through the
raw material. Drying, decarbonating, and calcining are accomplished as the material travels through the heated
kiln, finally burning to incipient fusion and forming the clinker. The clinker is cooled, mixed with about 5
percent gypsum by weight, and ground to the final product fineness. The cement is then stored for later
packaging and shipment.
With the wet process, a slurry is made by adding water to the initial grinding operation. Proportioning may
take place before or after the grinding step. After the materials are mixed, the excess water is removed and final
adjustments are made to obtain a desired composition. This final homogeneous mixture is fed to the kilns as a
slurry of 30 to 40 percent moisture or as a wet filtrate of about 20 percent moisture. The burning, cooling,
addition of gypsum, and storage are carried out as in the dry process.
8.6.2 Emissions and Controls1'2-4
Particulate matter is the primary emission in the manufacture of portland cement. Emissions also include the
normal combustion products of the fuel used to supply heat for the kiln and drying operations, including oxides
of nitrogen and small amounts of oxides of sulfur.
Sources of dust at cement plants include: (1) quarrying and crushing, (2) raw material storage, (3) grinding and
blending (dry process only), (4) clinker production, (5) finish grinding, and (6) packaging. The largest source of
emissions within cement plants is the kiln operation, which may be considered to have three units: the feed
system, the fuel-firing system, and the clinker-cooling and handling system. The most desirable method of
disposing of the collected dust is injection into the burning zone of the kiln and production of clinkers from the
dust. If the alkali content of the raw materials is too high, however, some of the dust is discarded or leached
before returning to the kiln. In many instances, the maximum allowable alkali content of 0.6 percent (calculated
as sodium oxide) restricts the amount of dust that can be recycled. Additional sources of dust emissions are raw
material storage piles, conveyors, storage silos, and loading/unloading facilities.
The complications of kiln burning and the large volumes of materials handled have led to the adoption of
many control systems for dust collection. Depending upon the emission, the temperature of the effluents in the

eThe sulfur dioxide factors presented take into account the reactions with the alkaline dusts
when no baghouses are used. With baghouses, approximately 50 percent more SC>2 is removed
because of reactions with the alkaline particulate filter cake. Also note that the total SOj from
the kiln is determined by summing emission contributions from the mineral source and the
appropriate fuel.
These emissions are the result of sulfur being present in the raw materials and are thus depend-
ent upon source of the raw materials used. The 10.2 Ib/ton (5.1 kg/MT) factors account for
part of the available sulfur remaining behind in the product because of its alkaline nature and

Sulfur dioxide may be generated from the sulfur compounds in the ores as well as from combusion of fuel.
The sulfur content of both ores and fuels will vary from plant to plant and with geographic location. The alkaline
nature of the cement, however, provides for direct absorption of SCh into the product. The overall control
inherent in the process is approximately 75 percent or greater of the available sulfur in ore and fuel if a baghouse
that allows the SO-> to come in contact with the cement dust is used. Control, of course, will vary according to
the alkali and sulfur content of the raw materials and fuel.6

8.7 CERAMIC CLAY MANUFACTURING
8.7.1 Process Description1
The manufacture of ceramic clay involves the conditioning of the basic ores by several methods. These include
the separation and concentration of the minerals by screening, floating, wet and dry grinding, and blending of the
desired ore varieties. The basic raw materials in ceramic clay manufacture are kaolinite (A^O^- 2Si02'2H2O)
and montmorillonite [(Mg, Ca) OA^C^'SSiC^'nr^O] clays. These clays are refined by separation and
bleaching, blended, kiln-dried, and formed into such items as whiteware, heavy clay products (brick, etc.),
various stoneware, and other products such as diatomaceous earth, which is used as a filter aid.
8.7.2 Emissions and Controls1
Emissions consist primarily of particulates, but some fluorides and acid gases are also emitted in the drying
process. The high temperatures of the firing kilns are also conducive to the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and
the subsequent release of NO, but no published information has been found for gaseous emissions. Particulates
are also emitted from the grinding process and from storage of the ground product.
Factors affecting emissions include the amount of material processed, the type of grinding (wet or dry), the
temperature of the drying kilns, the gas velocities and flow direction in the kilns, and the amount of fluorine in
the ores.
Common control techniques include settling chambers, cyclones, wet scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, and
bag filters. The most effective control is provided by cyclones for the coarser material, followed by wet scrubbers,
bag filters, or electrostatic precipitators for dry dust. Emission factors for ceramic clay manufacturing are
presented in Table 8.7-1.

8.8 CLAY AND FLY-ASH SINTERING
8.8.1 Process Description1
Although the processes for sintering fly ash and clay are similar, there are some distinctions that justify a
separate discussion of each process. Fly-ash sintering plants are generally located near the source, with the fly ash
delivered to a storage silo at the plant. The dry fly ash is moistened with a water solution of lignin and
agglomerated into pellets or balls. This material goes to a traveling-grate sintering machine where direct contact
with hot combustion gases sinters the individual particles of the pellet and completely burns off the residual
carbon in the fly ash. The product is then crushed, screened, graded, and stored in yard piles.
Clay sintering involves the driving off of entrained volatile matter. It is desirable that the clay contain a
sufficient amount of volatile matter so that the resultant aggregate will not be too heavy. It is thus sometimes
necessary to mix the clay with finely pulverized coke (up to 10 percent coke by weight).^'^ In the sintering
process the clay is first mixed with pulverized coke, if necessary, and then pelletized. The clay is next sintered in
a rotating kiln or on a traveling grate. The sintered pellets are then crushed, screened, and stored, in a procedure
similar to that for fly ash pellets.
8.8.2 Emissions and Controls1
In fly-ash sintering, improper handling of the fly ash creates a dust problem. Adequate design features,
including fly-ash wetting systems and participate collection systems on all transfer points and on crushing and
screening operations, would greatly reduce emissions. Normally, fabric filters are used to control emissions from
the storage silo, and emissions are low. The absence of this dust collection system, however, would create a major
emission problem. Moisture is added at the point of discharge from the silo to the agglomerator, and very few
emissions occur there. Normally, there are few emissions from the sintering machine, but if the grate is not
properly maintained, a dust problem is created. The consequent crushing, screening, handling, and storage of the
sintered product also create dust problems.
In clay sintering, the addition of pulverized coke presents an emission problem because the sintering of
coke-impregnated dry pellets produces more particulate emissions than the sintering of natural clay. The crushing,
screening, handling, and storage of the sintered clay pellets creates dust problems similar to those encountered in
fly-ash sintering. Emission factors for both clay and fly-ash sintering are shown in Table 8.8-1.

8.9 COAL CLEANING
8.9.1 Process Description1
Coal cleaning is the process by which undesirable materials are removed from bituminous and anthracite coal
and lignite. The coal is screened, classified, washed, and dried at coal preparation plants. The major sources of air
pollution from these plants are the thermal dryers. Seven types of thermal dryers are presently used: rotary,
screen, cascade, continuous carrier, flash or suspension, multilouver, and fluidized bed. The three major types,
however, are the flash, multilouver, and fluidized bed.
In the flash dryer, coal is fed into a stream of hot gases where instantaneous drying occurs. The dried coal and
wet gases are drawn up a drying column and into the cyclone for separation. In the multilouver dryer, hot gases
are passed through falling curtains of coal. The coal is raised by flights of a specially designed conveyor. In the
fluidized bed the coal is suspended and dried above a perforated plate by rising hot gases.
8.9.2 Emissions and Controls1
Particulates in the form of coal dust constitute the major air pollution problem from coal cleaning plants. The
crushing, screening, or sizing of coal are minor sources of dust emissions; the major sources are the thermal
dryers. The range of concentration, quantity, and particle size of emissions depends upon the type of collection
equipment used to reduce particulate emissions from the dryer stack. Emission factors for coal-cleaning plants are
shown in Table 8.9-1. Footnote b of the table lists various types of control equipment and their possible
efficiencies.

8.10 CONCRETE BATCHING
8.10.1 Process Description!-3
Concrete batching involves the proportioning of sand, gravel, and cement by means of weigh hoppers and
conveyors into a mixing receiver such as a transit mix truck. The required amount of water is also discharged into
the receiver along with the dry materials. In some cases, the concrete is prepared for on-site building construction
work or for the manufacture of concrete products such as pipes and prefabricated construction parts.
8.10.2 Emissions and Controls1
Particulate emissions consist primarily of cement dust, but some sand and aggregate gravel dust emissions do
occur during batching operations. There is also a potential for dust emissions during the unloading and conveying
of concrete and aggregates at these plants and during the loading of dry-batched concrete mix. Another source of
dust emissions is the traffic of heavy equipment over unpaved or dusty surfaces in and around the concrete
batching plant.
Control techniques include the enclosure of dumping and loading areas, the enclosure of conveyors and
elevators, filters on storage bin vents, and the use of water sprays. Table 8.10-1 presents emission factors for
concrete batch plants.

8.11 FIBER GLASS MANUFACTURING Revised by James H. Southerland
8.11.1 Process Description
Glass fiber products are manufactured by melting various raw materials to form glass (predominantly
borosilicate), drawing the molten glass into fibers, and coating the fibers with an organic material. The two basic
types of fiber glass products, textile and wool, are manufactured by different processes. Typical flow diagrams are
shown in Figures 8.11-1 and 8.11-2.
8.11.1.1 Textile Products—In the manufacture of textiles, the glass is normally produced in the form of maroles
after refining at about 2800°F (1540°C) in a regenerative, recuperative, or electric furnace. The marble-forming
stage can be omitted with the molten glass passing directly to orifices to be formed or drawn into fiber filaments.
The fiber filaments are collected on spools as continuous fibers and staple yarns, or in the form of a fiber glass
mat on a flat, moving surface. An integral part of the textile process is treatment with organic binder materials
followed by a curing step.
8.11.1.2 Wool Products-ln the manufacture of wool products, which are generally used in the construction
industry as insulation, ceiling panels, etc., the molten glass is most frequently fed directly into the forming line
without going through a marble stage. Fiber formation is accomplished by air blowing, steam blowing, flame
blowing, or centrifuge forming. The organic binder is sprayed onto the hot fibers as they fall from the forming
device. The fibers are collected on a moving, flat surface and transported through a curing oven at a temperature
of 400° to 600°F (200° to 315°C) where the binder sets. Depending upon the product, the wool may also be
compressed as a part of this operation.
8.11.2 Emissions and Controls1
The major emissions from the fiber glass manufacturing processes are particulates from the glass-melting
furnace, the forming line, the curing oven, and the product cooling line. In addition, gaseous organic emissions
occur from the forming line and curing oven. Particulate emissions from the glass-melting furnace are affected by
basic furnace design, type of fuel (oil, gas, or electricity), raw material size and composition, and type and volume
of the furnace heat-recovery system. Organic and particulate emissions from the forming line are most affected by
the composition and quality of the binder and by the spraying techniques used to coat the fibers; very fine spray
and volatile binders increase emissions. Emissions from the curing ovens are affected by oven temperature and
binder composition, but direct-fired afterburners with heat exchangers may be used to control these emissions.
Emission factors for fiber glass manufacturing are summarized in Table 8.11-1.

8.12 FRIT MANUFACTURING
8.12.1 Process Description1 >2
Frit is used in enameling iron and steel and in glazing porcelain and pottery. In a typical plant, the raw
materials consist of a combination of materials such as borax, feldspar, sodium fluoride or fluorspar, soda ash,
zinc oxide, litharge, silica, boric acid, and zircon. Frit is prepared by fusing these various minerals in a smelter,
and the molten material is then quenched with air or water. This quenching operation causes the melt to solidify
rapidly and shatter into numerous small glass particles, called frit. After a drying process, the frit is finely ground
in a ball mill where other materials are added.
8.12.2 Emissions and Controls2
Significant dust and fume emissions are created by the frit-smelting operation. These emissions consist
primarily of condensed metallic oxide fumes that have volatilized from the molten charge. They also contain
mineral dust carryover and sometimes hydrogen fluoride. Emissions can be reduced by not rotating the smelter
too rapidly (to prevent excessive dust carry-over) and by not heating the batch too rapidly or too long (to prevent
volatilizing the more fusible elements).
The two most feasible control devices for frit smelters are baghouses and venturi water scrubbers. Emission
factors for frit smelters are shown in Table 8.12-1. Collection efficiencies obtainable for venturi scrubbers are also
shown in the table.

8.13 GLASS MANUFACTURING
8.13.1 Process Description1 '2
Nearly all glass produced commercially is one of five basic types: soda-lime, lead, fused silica, borosilicate, and
96 percent silica. Of these, the modern soda-lime glass constitutes 90 percent of the total glass produced and will
thus be the only type discussed in this section. Soda-lime glass is produced on a massive scale in large, direct-fired,
continuous-melting furnaces in which the blended raw materials are melted at 2700 F (1480 C) to form glass.
8.13.2 Emissions and Controls1-2
Emissions from the glass-melting operation consist primarily of particulates and fluorides, if
fluoride-containing fluxes are used in the process. Because the dust emissions contain particles that are only a few
microns in diameter, cyclones and centrifugal scrubbers are not as effective as baghouses or filters in collecting
particulate matter. Table 8.13-1 summarizes the emission factors for glass melting.

8.14 GYPSUM MANUFACTURING
8.14.1 Process Description1
Gypsum, or hydrated calcium sulfate, is a naturally occurring mineral that is an important building material.
When heated gypsum loses its water of hydration, it becomes plaster of pans, or when blended with fillers it
serves as wall plaster. In both cases the material hardens as water reacts with it to form the solid crystalline
hydrate.2'3
The usual method of calcination of gypsum consists of grinding the mineral and placing it in large, externally
heated calciners. Complete calcination of 1 ton (0.907 MT) of plaster takes about 3 hours and requires about 1.0
million Btu (0.25 million Real).4'5
8.14.2 Emissions1
The process of calcining gypsum appears to be devoid of any air pollutants because it involves simply the
relatively low-temperature removal of the water of hydration. However, the gases created by the release of the
water of crystalization carry gypsum rock dust and partially calcined gypsum dust into the atmosphere.6 In
addition, dust emissions occur from the grinding of the gypsum before calcining and from the mixing of the
calcined gypsum with filler. Table 8.14-1 presents emission factors for gypsum processing.

8.15 LIME MANUFACTURING by Tom Lahre
8.15.1 General1'4
Lime is the high-temperature product of the calcination of limestone. There are two kinds of lime:
high-calcium lime (CaO) and dolomitic lime (CaO • MgO). Lime is manufactured in various kinds of
kilns by one of the following reactions:
CaCOj + heat —» CO2 + CaO (high calcium lime)
CaCOs . MgCO3 + heat -> CCh + CaO . MgO (dolomitic lime)
In some lime plants, the resulting lime is reacted (slaked) with water to form hydrated lime.
The basic processes in the production of lime are (1) quarrying the raw limestone, (2) preparing the
limestone for the kilns by crushing and sizing, (3) calcining the limestone, (4) processing the quicklime
further by hydrating, and (5) miscellaneous transfer, storage, and handling operations. A generalized
material flow diagram for a lime manufacturing plant is given in Figure 8.15-1. Note that some of the
operations shown may not be performed in all plants.
The heart of a lime plant is the kiln. The most prevalent type of kiln is the rotary kiln, accounting
for about 90 percent of all lime production in the United States. This kiln is a long, cylindrical, slightly
inclined, refractory-lined furnace through which the limestone and hot combustion gases pass count-
ercurrently. Coal, oil, and natural gas may all be fired in rotary kilns. Product coolers and kiln-feed
preheaters of various types are commonly employed to recover heat from the hot lime product and
and hot exhaust gases, respectively.
The next most prevalent type of kiln in the United States is the vertical, or shaft, kiln. This kiln can
be described as an upright heavy steel cylinder lined with refractory material. The limestone is
charged at the top and calcined as it descends slowly to the bottom of the kiln where it is discharged. A
primary advantage of vertical kilns over rotary kilns is the higher average fuel efficiency. The primary
disadvantages of vertical kilns are their relatively low production rates and the fact that coal cannot
be used without degrading the quality of the lime produced. Although still prevalent in Europe, there
have been few recent vertical kiln installations in the United States because of the high production
requirements of domestic manufacturers.
Other, much less common, kiln types include rotary hearth and fluidized-bed kilns. The rotary
hearth kiln, or "calcimatic" kiln, is a circular-shaped kiln with a slowly revolving donut-shaped hearth.
In fluidized-bed kilns, finely divided limestone is brought into direct contact with hot combustion
air in a turbulent zone, usually above a perforated grate. Dust collection equipment must be installed
on fluidized-bed kilns for process economics because of the high lime carryover into the exhaust gases.
Both kiln types can achieve high production rates, but neither can operate with coal.
About 10 percent of all lime produced is converted to hydrated (slaked) lime. There are two kinds
of hydrators: atmospheric and pressure. Atmospheric hydrators, the most prevalent kind, are used to
produce high calcium and normal dolomitic hydrates. Pressure hydrators, on the other hand, are only
employed when a completely hydrated dolomitic lime is needed. Atmospheric hydrators operate
continuously, whereas pressure hydrators operate in a batch mode. Generally, water sprays or wet
scrubbers are employed as an integral part of the hydrating process to prevent product losses. Follow-
ing hydration, the resulting product may be milled and conveyed to air separators for further drying
and for removal of the coarse fractions.

In the United States, the major use of lime is in chemical and metallurgical applications. Two of the
largest uses in these areas are as steel flux and in alkali production. Other lesser uses include con-
struction, refractory, and agricultural applications.
8.15.2 Emissions and Controls3'5
Potential air pollutant emitting points in lime manufacturing plants are shown in Figure 8.15-1.
Particulate is the only pollutant of concern from most of the operations; however, gaseous pollutants
are also emitted from kilns.
The largest source or particulate is the kiln. Of the various kiln types in use, fluidized-bed kilns
have the highest uncontrolled particulate emissions. This is due primarily to the very small feed size
combined with the high air flow through these kilns. Fluidized-bed kilns are well controlled for
maximum product recovery. The rotary kiln is second to the fluidized-bed kiln in uncontrolled
particulate emissions. This is attributed to the small feed size and relatively high air velocities and
dust entrainment caused by the rotating chamber. The rotary hearth, or "calcimatic" kiln ranks third
in dust production, primarily because of the larger feed size combined with the fact that the limestone
remains in a stationary position relative to the hearth during calcination. The vertical kiln has the
lowest uncontrolled dust emissions due to the large lump-size feed and the relatively slow air velocities
and slow movement of material through the kiln.
Some sort of particulate control is generally employed on most kilns. Rudimentary fallout chamb-
ers and cyclone separators are commonly used for control of the larger particles; fabric and gravel bed
filters, wet (commonly venturi) scubbers, and electrostatic precipitators are employed for secondary
control. Table 8.15-1 yields approximate efficiencies of each type of control on the various types of
kilns.
Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and sulfur oxides are all produced in kilns, although the latter
are the only gaseous pollutant emitted in significant quantities. Not all of the sulfur in the kiln fuel is
emitted as sulfur oxides because some fraction reacts with the materials in the kiln. Some sulfur oxide
reduction is also effected by the various equipment used for secondary particulate control. Estimates
of the quantities of sulfur oxides emitted from kilns, both before and after controls, are presented in
Table 8.15-1.
Hydrator emissions are low because water sprays or wet scrubbers are usually installed for econom-
ic reasons to prevent product loss in the exhaust gases. Emissions from pressure hydrators may be
higher than from the more common atmospheric hydrators because the exhaust gases are released
intermittently over short time intervals, making control more difficult.
Product coolers are emission sources only when some of their exhaust gases are not recycled
through the kiln for use as combustion air. The trend is away from the venting of product cooler ex-
haust, however, to maximize fuel use efficiencies. Cyclones, baghouses, and wet scrubbers have been
employed on coolers for particulate control.
Other particulate sources in lime plants include primary and secondary crushers, mills, screens,
mechanical and pneumatic transfer operations, storage piles, and unpaved roads. If quarrying is a part
of the lime plant operation, particulate may also result from drilling and blasting. Emission factors
for some of these operations are presented in Sections 8.20 and 11.2.
Emission factors for lime manufacturing are presented in Table 8.15-1.

aAII emission factors for kilns and coolers are oer unit of lime produced. Divide by two to obtain factors per unit of limestone feed to the kiln.
Factors for hydrators are per unit of hydrated lime produced. Multiply by 1 25 to obtain factors per unit of lime feed to the hydrator. All
emissions data are based on References 4 through 6.
^Emission factors for these operations are presented m Sections 8.20 and 11.2.
cNo paniculate control except for settling that may occur m the stack breeching and chimney base.
dWhen low-sulfur (less than 1 percent, by weight} fuels are used, only about 10 percent of the fuel sulfur is emitted as SO2- When high-
sulfur fuels are used, approximately 50 percent of the fuel sulfur is emitted as SO2-
eThis factor should be used when coal is fired in the kiln. Limited data suggest that when only natural gas or oil is fired, paniculate
emissions after multiple cyclones may be as low as 20 to 30 Ib/ton (10 to 15 kg/MT).
Fabric or gravel bed filters, electrostatic precipitators, or wet (most commonly ventun} scrubbers. Paniculate concentrations as low as
0.2 Ib/ton (0.1 kg/MT) have been achieved using these devices.
9When scrubbers are used, less than 5 percent of the fuel sulfur will be emitted as S02, even with high-sulfur coal. When other secondary
collection devices are used, about 20 percent of the fuel sulfur will be emitted as 862 with high-sulfur fuels and less than 10 percent
with low-sulfur fuels.
hNot available
'Calcimatic kilns generally employ stone preheaters. AM factors represent emissions after the kiln exhaust passes through a preheater.
^Fabric filters and ventun scrubbers have been employed on calcimatic kilns. No data are available on particulate emissions after
secondary control.
kFluidized-bed kilns must employ sophisticated dust collection equipment for process economics, hence, particulate emissions will
depend on the efficiency of the control equipment installed
Some or all of the cooler exhaust is typically used m the kiln as combustion air. Emissions will result only from that fraction that
is not recycled to the kiln.
mThis is a typical particulate loading for atmospheric hydrators following water sprays or wet scrubbers. Limited data suggest
particulate emissions from pressure hydrators may be approximately 2 Ib/ton (1 kg/MT) of hydrate produced, after wet collectors.

8.16 MINERAL WOOL MANUFACTURING
8.16.1 Process Descriptionl >2
The product mineral wool used to be divided into three categories: slag wool, rock wool, and glass wool.
Today, however, straight slag wool and rock wool as such are no longer manufactured. A combination of slag and
rock constitutes the charge material that now yields a product classified as a mineral wool, used mainly for
thermal and acoustical insulation.
Mineral wool is made primarily in cupola furnaces charged with blast-furnace slag, silica rock, and coke. The
charge is heated to a molten state at about 3000°F (1650 C) and then fed to a blow chamber, where steam
atomizes the molten rock into globules that develop long fibrous tails as they are drawn to the other end of the
chamber. The wool blanket formed is next conveyed to an oven to cure the binding agent and then to a cooler.
8.16.2 Emissions and Controls
The major source of emissions is the cupola or furnace stack. Its discharge consists primarily of condensed
fumes that have volatilized from the molten charge and gases such as sulfur oxides and fluorides. Minor sources of
particulate emissions include the blowchamber, curing oven, and cooler. Emission factors for various stages of
mineral wool processing are shown in Table 8.16-1. The effect of control devices on emissions is shown in
footnotes to the table.

8.17 PERLITE MANUFACTURING
8.17.1 Process Description1 >2
Perlite is a glassy volcanic rock consisting of oxides of silicon and aluminum combined as a natural glass by
water of hydration. By a process called exfoliation, the material is rapidly heated to release water of hydration
and thus to expand the spherules into low-density particles used primarily as aggregate in plaster and concrete. A
plant for the expansion of perlite consists of ore unloading and storage facilities, a furnace-feeding device, an
expanding furnace, provisions for gas and product cooling, and product-classifying and product-collecting
equipment. Vertical furnaces, horizontal stationary furnaces, and horizontal rotary furnaces are used for the
exfoliation of perlite, although the vertical types are the most numerous. Cyclone separators are used to collect
the product.
8.17.2 Emissions and Controls2
A fine dust is emitted from the outlet of the last product collector in a perlite expansion plant. The fineness of
the dust varies from one plant to another, depending upon the desired product. In order to achieve complete
control of these particulate emissions, a baghouse is needed. Simple cyclones and small multiple cyclones are not
adequate for collecting the fine dust from perlite furnaces. Table 8.17-1 summarizes the emissions from perlite
manufacturing.

8.18 PHOSPHATE ROCK PROCESSING
8.18.1 Process Description1
Phosphate rock preparation involves beneficiation to remove impurities, drying to remove moisture, and
grinding to improve reactivity. Usually, direct-fired rotary kilns are used to dry phosphate rock. These dryers
burn natural gas or fuel oil and are fired counter-currently. The material from the dryers may be ground before
storage in large storage silos. Air-swept ball mills are preferred for grinding phosphate rock.
8.18.2 Emissions and Controls1
Although there are no significant emissions from phosphate rock beneficiation plants, emissions in the form of
fine rock dust may be expected from drying and grinding operations. Phosphate rock dryers are usually equipped
with dry cyclones followed by wet scrubbers. Particulate emissions are usually higher when drying pebble rock
than when drying concentrate because of the small adherent particles of clay and slime on the rock. Phosphate
rock grinders can be a considerable source of particulates. Because of the extremely fine particle size, baghouse
collectors are normally used to reduce emissions. Emission factors for phosphate rock processing are presented in
Table 8.18-1.

8.19 SAND AND GRAVEL PROCESSING By James H. Southerland
8.19.1 Process Descrip tion!
Deposits of sand and gravel, the consolidated granular materials resulting from the natural disintegration of
rock or stone, are found in banks and pits and in subterranean and subaqueous beds.
Depending upon the location of the deposit, the materials are excavated using power shovels, draglines,
cableways, suction dredge pumps, or other apparatus; light-charge blasting may be necessary to loosen the
deposit. The materials are transported to the processing plant by suction pump, earth mover, barge, truck, or
other means. The processing of sand and gravel for a specific market involves the use of different combinations of
washers; screens and classifiers, which segregate particle sizes; crushers, which reduce oversize material; and
storage and loading facilities.
8.19.2 Emissions2-3
Dust emissions occur during conveying, screening, crushing, and storing operations. Because these materials are
generally moist when handled, emissions are much lower than in a similar crushed stone operation. Sizeable
emissions may also occur as vehicles travel over unpaved roads and paved roads covered by dirt. Although little
actual source testing has been done, an estimate has been made for particulate emissions from a plant using
crushers:
Particulate emissions: 0.1 Ib/ton (0.05 kg/MT) of product.3

8.20 STONE QUARRYING AND PROCESSING
8.20.1 Process Descriptionl
Rock and crushed stone products are loosened by drilling and blasting them from their deposit beds and are
removed with the use of heavy earth-moving equipment. This mining of rock is done primarily in open pits. The
use of pneumatic drilling and cutting, as well as blasting and transferring, causes considerable dust formation.
Further processing includes crushing, regrinding, and removal of fines.2 Dust emissions can occur from all of
these operations, as well as from quarrying, transferring, loading, and storage operations. Drying operations, when
used, can also be a source of dust emissions.
8.20.2 Emissions1
As enumerated above, dust emissions occur from many operations in stone quarrying and processing. Although
a big portion of these emissions is heavy particles that settle out within the plant, an attempt has been made to
estimate the suspended particulates. These emission factors are shown in Table 8.20-1. Factors affecting emissions
include the amount of rock processed; the method of transfer of the rock; the moisture content of the raw
material; the degree of enclosure of the transferring, processing, and storage areas; and the degree to which
control equipment is used on the processes.

9. PETROLEUM INDUSTRY
9.1 PETROLEUM REFINING Revised by William M. Vatavuk
9.1.1 General
Although a modern refinery is a complex system of many processes, the entire operation can be divided into
four major steps: separating, converting, treating, and blending. The crude oil is first separated into selected
fractions (e.g. gasoline, kerosene, fuel, oil, etc.). Because the relative volumes of each fraction produced by
merely separating the crude may not conform to the market demands for each fraction, some of the less valuable
products, such as heavy naptha, are converted to products with a greater sale value, such as gasoline. This
conversion is accomplished by splitting (cracking), uniting (polymerization), or rearranging (reforming) the
original molecules. The final step is the blending of the refined base stocks with each other and with various
additives to meet final product specifications. The various unit operations involved at petroleum refineries will be
briefly discussed in the following sections. A generalized petroleum refinery flow sheet is shown in Figure 9.1-1.
9.1.2 Crude Oil Distillation1-6
Crude oil is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons, some of them combined with small amounts of
impurities. Crude oils vary considerably in composition and physical properties, but primarily consist of three
families of hydrocarbons: paraffins, saturated hydrocarbons having the empirical formula CnH2n+2' napthenes,
ring-structure saturated hydrocarbons with the formula CnH2n; and aromatics, characterized by a benzene ring,
CgHg, in the molecular structure. In addition to carbon and hydrogen, significant amounts of sulfur, oxygen, and
nitrogen can be present in crude petroleum.
Separation of these hydrocarbon constituents into their respective fractions is performed by simple distillation
in crude topping or skimming units. Crude oil is heated in pipe stills and passed to fractionating towers or
columns for vaporization and preparation. Heavy fractions of the crude oil, which do not vaporize in the topping
operation, are separated by steam or vacuum distillation. The heavy residuum products are reduced to coke and
more valuable volatile products via destructive distillation and coking. Depending on the boiling range of the stock
and its stability with respect to heat and product specifications, solvent extraction and/or absorption techniques
can also be used. The distillation fractions - "straight run products" - usually include refinery gas, gasoline,
kerosene, light fuel oil, diesel oils, gas oil, lube distillate, and heavy bottoms, the amount of each being
determined by the type and composition of the crude oil. Some of these products are treated to remove
impurities and used as base stocks or sold as finished products; the remainder are used as feedstock for other
refinery units.
9.1.2.1 Emissions-The main source of emissions from crude oil preparation processes is the barometric condenser
on the vacuum distillation column. This condenser, while maintaining a vacuum on the tower, often allows
noncondensable light hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide to pass through to the atmosphere. The quantity of
these emissions is a function of the unit size, type of feedstock, and the cooling water temperature. Vapor
recovery systems reduce these emissions to negligible amounts (see Table 9.1-1).

9.1.3 Converting
To meet quantity demands for certain types of petroleum products, it is often necessary to chemically convert
the molecular structures of certain hydrocarbons via "cracking" and "reforming" to produce compounds of
different structures.
9.1.3.1 Catalytic Cracking1—In the cracking operation, large molecules are decomposed by heat, pressure, and
catalysis into smaller, lower-boiling molecules. Simultaneously, some of the molecules combine (polymerize) to
form larger molecules. Products of cracking are gaseous hydrocarbons, gasoline, gas oil, fuel oil, and coke.
Most catalytic cracking operations in the U.S. today are performed by using four main methods: (1) fixed-bed,
a batch operation; (2) moving-bed, typified by thermofor catalytic cracking (TCC) and Houdriflow units; (3)
fluidized-bed (FCC); and (4) "once-through" units. The two most widely used units are the moving- and
fluidized-bed types, with the latter most predominant.
In a moving-bed cracker, the charge (gas oil) is heated to 900°F under pressure and passed to the reactor where
it passes cross-flow to a descending stream of molecular sieve-type catalyst in the form of beads or pellets. The
cracked products then pass to a fractionating tower where the various compounds are tapped off. Meanwhile, the
spent catalyst flows through a regeneration zone where coke deposits are burned off in a continuous process. The
regenerated catalyst is then conveyed to storage bins atop the reactor vessel for reuse.
In fluidized systems, finely powdered catalyst is lifted into the reactor by the incoming heated oil charge,
which vaporizes upon contact with the hot catalyst. Spent catalyst settles out in the reactor, is drawn off at a
controlled rate, purged with steam, and lifted by an air stream into the regenerator where the deposited coke is
burned off.
£>w'ss/otts-Emissions from cracking unit regenerators consist of particulates (coke and catalyst fines),
hydrocarbons, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, aldehydes, ammonia, and nitrogen oxides in the combusion gases.
In addition, catalyst fines may be discharged by vents on the catalyst handling systems on both TCC and FCC
units. Control measures commonly used on regenerators consist of cyclones and electrostatic precipitators to
remove particulates and energy-recovery combustors to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. The latter recovers
the heat of combustion of the CO to produce refinery process steam.
9.1.3.2 Hydrocracking--The hydrocracker uses a fixed-bed catalytic reactor, wherein cracking occurs in the
presence of hydrogen under substantial pressure. The principal functions of the hydrogen are to suppress the
formation of heavy residual material and to increase the yield of gasoline by reacting with the cracked products.
High-molecular-weight, sulfur-bearing hydrocarbons are also cracked, and the sulfur combines with the hydrogen
to form hydrogen sulfide (H->S). Therefore, waste gas from the hydrocracker contains large amounts of HoS,
which can be processed for removal of sulfur.
9.1.3.3 Catalytic Reforming1-In reforming processes, a feedstock of gasoline undergoes molecular rearrange-
ment via catalysis (usually including hydrogen removal) to produce a gasoline of higher quality and octane
number. In various fixed-bed and fluidized-bed processes, the catalyst is regenerated continously. in a manner
similar to that used with cracking units.
There are essentially no emissions from reforming operations.
9.1.3.4 Polymerization. Alkylation, and Isomenzation1-Polymerization and alkylation are processes used to
produce gasoline from the gaseous hydiocarbons formed during cracking operations. Polymerization joins two 01
9.1-6 EMISSION FACTORS 4/73
-------
more olefins (noncyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons with C=C double bonds), and alkylation unites an olefin and
an iso-paraffin (noncyclic branched-chain hydrocarbon saturated with hydrogen). Isomerization is the process for
altering the arrangement of atoms in a molecule without adding or removing anything from the original material,
and is usually used in the oil industry to form branched-chain hydrocarbons. A number of catalysts such as
phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, platinum, aluminum chloride, and hydrofluoric acid are used to promote the
combination or rearrangement of these light hydrocarbons.
9.1.3.5 Emissions-These three processes, including regeneration of any necessary catalysts, form essentially
closed systems and have no unique, major source of atmospheric emissions. However, the highly volatile
hydrocarbons handled, coupled with the high process pressures required, make valve stems and pump shafts
difficult to seal, and a greater emission rate from these sources can generally be expected in these process arens
than would be the average throughout the refinery. The best method for controlling these emissions is the
effective maintenance, repair, and replacement of pump seals, valve caulking, and pipe-joint sealer.
9.1.4 Treating
"Hydrogen," "chemical," and "physical" treating are used in the refinery process to remove undesirable
impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen to improve product quality.
9.1.4.1 Hydrogen Treating1—In this procedure hydrogen is reacted with impurities in compounds to produce
removable hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and water. In addition, the process converts diolefins (gum-forming
hydrocarbons with the empirical formula R=C=R) into stable compounds while minimizing saturation of
desirable aromatics.
Hydrogenation units are nearly all the fixed-bed type with catalyst replacement or regeneration (by
combustion) done intermittently, the frequency of which is dependent upon operating conditions and the
product being treated. The hydrogen sulfide produced is removed from the hydrogen stream via extraction and
converted to elemental sulfur or sulfuric acid or, when present in small quantities, burned to S(>2 in a flare or
boiler firebox.
9.1.4.2 Chemical Treating1—Chemical treating is generally classified into four groups: (1) acid treatment, (2)
sweetening, (3) solvent extraction, and (4) additives. Acid treatment involves contacting hydrocarbons with
sulfuric acid to partially remove sulfur and nitrogen compounds, to precipitate asphaltic or gum-like materials,
and to improve color and odor. Spent acid sludges that result are usually converted to ammonium sulfate or
sulfuric acid.
Sweetening processes oxidize mercaptans (formula: R-S-H) to disulfide (formula: R-S-S-R) without actual
sulfur removal. In some processes, air and steam are used for agitation in mixing tanks and to reactivate chemical
solutions.
Solvent extraction utilizes solvents that have affinities for the undesirable compounds and that can easily be
removed from the product stream. Specifically, mercaptan compounds are usually extracted using a strong caustic
solution; hydrogen sulfide is removed by a number of commercial processes.
Finally, additives or inhibitors are primarily materials added in small amounts to oxidize mercaptans to
disulfide and to retard gum formation.
4/76 Petroleum Industry 9.1-7
-------
9.1.4.3 Physical Treating1—Some of the many physical methods used to remove impurities include electrical
coalescence, filtration, absorption, and air blowing. Specific applications of physical methods are desalting crude
oil, removing wax, decolorizing lube oils, and brightening diesel oil.
9.1.4.4 Emissions - Emissions from treating operations consist of SCb, hydrocarbons, and visible plumes.
Emission levels depend on the methods used in handling spent acid and acid sludges, as well as the means
employed for recovery or disposal of hydrogen sulfide. Other potential sources of these emissions in treating
include catalyst regeneration, air agitation in mixing tanks, and other air blowing operations. Trace amounts of
malodorous substances may escape from numerous sources including settling tank vents, purge tanks, waste
treatment units, waste-water drains, valves, and pump seals.
Control methods used include: covers for waste water separators; vapor recovery systems for settling and surge
tanks; improved maintenance for pumps, valves, etc; and sulfur recovery plants.
9.1.5 Blending1
The final major operation in petroleum refining consists of blending the products in various proportions to
meet certain specifications, such as vapor pressure, specific gravity, sulfur content, viscosity, octane number,
initial boiling point, and pour point.
9.1.5.1 Emissions — Emissions associated with this operation are hydrocarbons that leak from storage vessels,
valves, and pumps. Vapor recovery systems and specially built tanks minimize storage emissions; good
housekeeping precludes pump and valve leakage.
9.1.6 Miscellaneous Operations1
In addition to the four refinery operations described above, there are many process operations connected with
all four. These involve the use of cooling towers, blow-down systems, process heaters and boilers, compressors,
and process drains. The emissions and controls associated with these operations are listed in Table 9.1-1.

9.2 NATURAL GAS PROCESSING by Harry Butcher and Tom Lahre
9.2.1 General1
Natural gas from high-pressure wells is usually passed through field separators to remove hydrocarbon
condensate and water at the well. Natural gasoline, butane, and propane are usually present in the gas, and gas
processing plants are required for the recovery of these liquefiable constituents (see Figure 9.2-1). Natural gas is
considered "sour" if hydrogen sulfide is present in amounts greater than 0.25 grain per 100 standard cubic feet.
The hydrogen sulfide (H2S) must be removed (called "sweetening" the gas) before the gas can be utilized. If H2S
is present, the gas is usually sweetened by absorption of the H2S in an amine solution. Amine processes are used
for over 95 percent of all gas sweetening in the United States. Processes such as carbonate processes, solid bed
absorbents, and physical absorption methods are employed in the other sweetening plants. Emissions data for
sweetening processes other than amine types are very meager.
The major emission sources in the natural gas processing industry are compressor engines and acid gas wastes
from gas sweetening plants. Compressor engine emissions are discussed in section 3.3.2; therefore, only gas
sweetening plant emissions are discussed here.
9.2.2 Process Description2'3
Many chemical processes are available for sweetening natural gas. However, at present, the most widely used
method for H2S removal or gas sweetening is the amine type process (also known as the Girdler process) in which
various amine solutions are utilized for absorbing H2S. The process is summarized in reaction 1 and illustrated in
Figure 9.2-2.
2 RNH2 + H2S KRNH3)2S 0)
where: R = mono, di, or tri-ethanol
N = nitrogen
H = hydrogen
S = sulfur
The recovered hydrogen sulfide gas stream may be (1) vented, (2) flared in waste gas flares or modern
smokeless flares, (3) incinerated, or (4) utilized for the production of elemental sulfur or other commercial
products. If the recovered H2S gas stream is not to be utilized as a feedstock for commercial applications, the gas
is usually passed to a tail gas incinerator in which the H2S is oxidized to sulfur dioxide and then passed to the
atmosphere via a stack. For more details, the reader should consult Reference 8.
9.2.3 Emissions4'5
Emissions will only result from gas sweetening plants if the acid waste gas from the amine process is flared or
incinerated. Most often, the acid waste gas is used as a feedstock in nearby sulfur recovery or sulfuric acid plants.
When flaring or incineration is practiced, the major pollutant of concern is sulfur dioxide. Most plants employ
elevated smokeless flares or tail gas incinerators to ensure complete combustion of all waste gas constituents,
including virtually 100 percent conversion of H2S to S02. Little particulate, smoke, or hydrocarbons result from
these devices, and because gas temperatures do not usually exceed 1200°F (650°C), significant quantities of
nitrogen oxides are not formed. Emission factors for gas sweetening plants with smokeless flares or incinerators
are presented in Table 9.2-1.

3Emission factors are presented in this section only for smokeless flares and tail gas incinerators on the amine gas sweetening
process. Too little emissions information exists to characterize emissions from older, less efficient waste gas flares on the
amine process or from other, less common gas sweetening processes. Emission factors for various internal combustion engines
utilized in a gas processing plant are given in section 3.3.2. Emission factors for sulfuric acid plants and sulfur recovery plants
are given in sections 5.17 and 5.18, respectively.
"These factors represent emissions after smokeless flares (with fuel gas and steam injection) or tail gas incinerators and are based
on References 2 and 4 through 7.
cThese factors are based on the assumptions that virtually 100 percent of all H2S in the acid gas waste is converted to SO2 during
flaring or incineration and that the sweetening process removes essentially 100 percent of the H^S present in the feedstock.
S is the l-^S content, on a mole percent basis, in the sour gas entering the gas sweetening plant. For example, if the ^S content
is 2 percent, the emission factor would be 1685 times 2, or 3370 Ib SC>2 per million cubic feet of sour gas processed. If the
H2S mole percent is unknown, average values from Table 9.2-2 may be substituted.
Note: If H2S contents are reported in grains per 100 scf or ppm, use the following factors to convert to mole percent:
0.01 mol % H2S = 6.26 gr HjS/lOO scf at 60° F and 29.92 in. Hg
1 gr/100 scf = 16 ppm (by volume)
To convert to or from metric units, use the following factor:
0.044 gr/100 scf = 1 mg/Nm3

cPark, Bighorn, and Washakie Counties report gas with an average 23 mol
content.
Some plants still use older, less efficient waste gas flares. Because these flares usually burn at temperatures
lower than necessary for complete combustion, some emissions of hydrocarbons and particulates as well as higher
quantities of H2S can occur. No data are available to estimate the magnitude of these emissions from waste gas
flares.
Emissions from sweetening plants with adjacent commercial plants, such as sulfuric acid plants or sulfur
recovery plants, are presented in sections 5.17 and 5.18, respectively. Emission factors for internal combustion
engines used in gas processing plants are given in section 3.3.2.

10. WOOD PROCESSING
Wood processing involves the conversion of raw wood to either pulp, pulpboard, or one of several types of
wallboard including plywood, particleboard, or hardboard. This section presents emissions data for chemical
wood pulping, for pulpboard and plywood manufacturing, and for woodworking operations. The burning of wood
waste in boilers and conical burners is not included as it is discussed in Chapters 1 and 2 of this publication.
10.1 CHEMICAL WOOD PULPING Revised by Thomas Lahre
10.1.1 General 1
Chemical wood pulping involves the extraction of cellulose from wood by dissolving the lignin that binds the
cellulose fibers together. The principal processes used in chemical pulping are the kraft, sulfite, neutral sulfite
semichemical (NSSC), dissolving, and soda; the first three of these display the greatest potential for causing air
pollution. The kraft process accounts for about 65 percent of all pulp produced in the United States; the sulfite
and NSSC processes, together, account for less than 20 percent of the total. The choice of pulping process is de-
termined by the product being made, by the type of wood species available, and by economic considerations.
10.1.2 Kraft Pulping
10.1.2.1 Process Description1-2-The kraft process (see Figure 10.1.2-1) involves the cooking of wood chips
under pressure in the presence of a cooking liquor in either a batch or a continuous digester. The cooking liquor,
or "white liquor," consisting of an aqueous solution of sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide, dissolves the lignin
that binds the cellulose fibers together.
When cooking is completed, the contents of the digester are forced into the blow tank. Here the major portion
of the spent cooking liquor, which contains the dissolved lignin, is drained, and the pulp enters the initial stage of
washing. From the blow tank the pulp passes through the knotter where unreacted chunks of wood are removed.
The pulp is then washed and, in some mills, bleached before being pressed and dried into the finished product.
It is economically necessary to recover both the inorganic cooking chemicals and the heat content of the spent
"black liquor," which is separated from the cooked pulp. Recovery is accomplished by first concentrating the
liquor to a level that will support combustion and then feeding it to a furnace where burning and chemical recovery
take place.
Initial concentration of the weak black liquor, which contains about 15 percent solids, occurs in the multiple-
effect evaporator. Here process steam is passed countercurrent to the liquor in a series of evaporator tubes that
increase the solids content to 40 to 55 percent. Further concentration is then effected in the direct contact
evaporator. This is generally a scrubbing device (a cyclonic or venturi scrubber or a cascade evaporator) in which
hot combustion gases from the recovery furnace mix with the incoming black liquor to raise its solids content to
55 to 70 percent.
The black liquor concentrate is then sprayed into the recovery furnace where the organic content supports
combustion. The inorganic compounds fall to the bottom of the furnace and are discharged to the smelt dissolving
tank to form a solution called "green liquor." The green liquor is then conveyed to a causticizer where slaked
lime (calcium hydroxide) is added to convert the solution back to white liquor, which can be reused in subsequent
cooks. Residual lime sludge from the causticizer can be recycled after being dewatered and calcined in the hot
lime kiln.
Many nulls need more steam for process heating, for driving equipment, for providing electric power, etc., than
can be provided by the recovery furnace alone. Thus, conventional industrial boilers that burn coal, oil, natural
gas, and in some cases, bark and wood waste are commonly employed.

EMISSION FACTORS
4/76
-------
10.1.2.2. Emission and Controlsl-6-Particulate emissions from the kraft process occur primarily from the re-
covery furnace, the lime kiln, and the smelt dissolving tank. These emissions consist mainly of sodium salts but
include some calcium salts from the lime kiln. They are caused primarily by the carryover of solids plus the sub-
limation and condensation of the inorganic chemicals.
Paniculate control is provided on recovery furnaces in a variety of ways. In mills where either a cyclonic
scrubber or cascade evaporator serves as the direct contact evaporator, further control is necessary as these devices
are generally only 20 to 50 percent efficient for particulates. Most often in these cases, an electrostatic precipitator
is employed after the direct contact evaporator to provide an overall particulate control efficiency of 85 to > 99
percent. In a few mills, however, a venturi scrubber is utilized as the direct contact evaporator and simultaneously
provides 80 to 90 percent particulate control. In either case auxiliary scrubbers may be included after the
precipitator or the venturi scrubber to provide additional control of particulates.
Particulate control on lime kilns is generally .accomplished by scrubbers. Smelt dissolving tanks are commonly
controlled by mesh pads but employ scrubbers when further control is needed.
The characteristic odor of the kraft mill is caused in large part by the emission of hydrogen sulfide. The major
source is the direct contact evaporator in which the sodium sulfide in the black liquor reacts with the carbon
dioxide in the furnace exhaust. The lime kiln can also be a potential source as a similar reaction occurs involving
residual sodium sulfide in the lime mud. Lesser amounts of hydrogen sulfide are emitted with the noncondensible
off-gasses from the digesters and multiple-effect evaporators.
The kraft-process odor also results from an assortment of organic sulfur compounds, all of which have extremely
low odor thresholds. Methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide are formed in reactions with the wood component
lignin. Dimethyl disulfide is formed through the oxidation of mercaptan groups derived from the lignin. These
compounds are emitted from many points within a mill; however, the main sources are the digester/blow tank
systems and the direct contact evaporator.
Although odor control devices, per se, are not generally employed in kraft mills, control of reduced sulfur
compounds can be accomplished by process modifications and by optimizing operating conditions. For example,
black liquor oxidation systems, which oxidize sulfides into less reactive thiosulfates, can considerably reduce
odorous sulfur emissions from the direct contact evaporator, although the vent gases from such systems become
minor odor sources themselves. Noncondensible odorous gases vented from the digester/blow tank system and
multiple-effect evaporators can be destroyed by thermal oxidation, usually by passing them through the lime
kiln. Optimum operation of the recovery furnace, by avoiding overloading and by maintaining sufficient oxygen
residual and turbulence, significantly reduces emissions of reduced sulfur compounds from this source. In addi-
tion, the use of fresh water instead of contaminated condensates in the scrubbers and pulp washers further reduces
odorous emissions. The effect of any of these modifications on a given mill's emissions will vary considerably.
Several new mills have incorporated recovery systems that eliminate the conventional direct contact evaporators.
In one system, preheated combustion air rather than flue gas provides direct contact evaporation. In the other,
the multiple-effect evaporator system is extended to replace the direct contact evaporator altogether. In both of
these systems, reduced sulfur emissions from the recovery furnace/direct contact evaporator reportedly can be
reduced by more than 95 percent from conventional uncontrolled systems.
Sulfur dioxide emissions result mainly from oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds in the recovery furnace.
It is reported that the direct contact evaporator absorbs 50 to 80 percent of these emissions; further scrubbing, if
employed, can reduce them another 10 to 20 percent.
Potential sources of carbon monoxide emissions from the kraft process include the recovery furnace and lime
kilns. The major cause of carbon monoxide emissions is furnace operation well above rated capacity, making it
impossible to maintain oxidizing conditions.
4/77 Wood Processing 10.1-3
-------
Some nitrogen oxides are also emitted from the recovery furnace and lime kilns although the
amounts are relatively small. Indications are that nitrogen oxides emissions from each of these sources
are on the order of 1 pound per air-dried ton (0.5 kg/air-dried MT) of pulp produced.5 *
A major source of emissions in a kraft mill is the boiler for generating auxiliary steam and power.
The fuels used are coal, oil, natural gas, or bark/wood waste. Emission factors for boilers are presented
in Chapter 1.
Table 10.1.2-1 presents emission factors for a conventional kraft mill. The most widely used
particulate controls devices are shown along with the odor reductions resulting from black liquor
oxidation and incineration of noncondensible off-gases.
10.1.3 Acid Sulfite Pulping by Tom Lahre
10.1.3.1 Process Description14 - The production of acid sulfite pulp proceeds similarly to kraft pulp-
ing except that different chemicals are used in the cooking liquor. In place of the caustic solution used
to dissolve the lignin in the wood, sulfurous acid is employed. To buffer the cooking solution, a bisul-
fite of sodium, magnesium, calcium, or ammonium is used. A simplified flow diagram of a magnesium-
base process is shown in Figure 10.1.3-1.
Digestion is carried out under high pressure and high temperature in either batch-mode or con-
tinuous digesters in the presence of a sulfurous acid-bisulfite cooking liquor. When cooking is com-
leted, the digester is either discharged at high pressure into a blow pit or its contents are pumped out
at a lower pressure into a dump tank. The spent sulfite liquor (also called red liquor) then drains
through the bottom of the tank and is either treated and disposed, incinerated, or sent to a plant for
recovery of heat and chemicals. The pulp is then washed and processed through screens and centri-
fuges for removal of knots, bundles of fibers, and other materials. It subsequently may be bleached,
pressed, and dried in paper-making operations.
Because of the variety of bases employed in the cooking liquor, numerous schemes for heat and/or
chemical recovery have evolved. In calcium-base systems, which are used mostly in older mills, chemi-
cal recovery is not practical, and the spent liquor is usually discarded or incinerated. In ammonium-
base operations, heat can be recovered from the spent liquor through combustion, but the ammonium
base is consumed in the process. In sodium- or magnesium-base operations heat, sulfur, and base
recovery are all feasible.
If recovery is practiced, the spent weak red liquor (which contains more than half of the raw
materials as dissolved organic solids) is concentrated in a multiple-effect evaporator and direct contact
evaporator to 55 to 60 percent solids. Strong liquor is sprayed into a furnace and burned, producing
steam, for the digesters, evaporators, etc., and to meet the mills power requirements.
When magnesium base liquor is burned, a flue gas is produced from which magnesium oxide is
recovered in a multiple cyclone as fine white powder. The magnesium oxide is then water-slaked and
used as circulating liquor in a series of venturi scrubbers which are designed to absorb sulfur dioxide
from the flue gas and form a bisulfite solution for use in the cook cycle. When sodium-base liquor is
burned, the inorganic compounds are recovered as a molten smelt containing sodium sulfide and
sodium carbonate. This smelt may be processed further and used to absorb sulfur dioxide from the
flue gas and sulfur burner. In some sodium-base mills, however, the smelt may be sold to a nearby kraft
mill as raw material for producing green liquor.

EMISSION FACTORS
4/77
-------
If recovery is not practiced, an acid plant of sufficient capacity to fulfill the mill's total sulfite
requirement is necessary. Normally, sulfur is burned in a rotary or spray burner. The gas produced is
then cooled by heat exchangers plus a water spray and then absorbed in a variety of different scrubbers
containing either limestone or a solution of the base chemical. Where recovery is practiced, fortifica-
tion is accomplished similarly, although a much smaller amount of sulfur dioxide must be produced
to make up for that lost in the process.
10.1.3.2 Emissions and Controls14 - Sulfur dioxide is ^generally considered the major pollutant of
concern from sulfite pulp mills. The characteristic "kraft" odor is not emitted because volatile re-
duced sulfur compounds are not products of the lignin-bisulfite reaction.
One of the major SO2 sources is the digester and blow pit or dump tank system. Sulfur dioxide is
present in the intermittent digester relief gases as well as in the gases given off at the end of the cook
when the digester contents are discharged into the blow pit or dump tank. The quantity of sulfur oxide
evolved and emitted to the atmosphere in these gas streams depends on the pH of the cooking liquor,
the pressure at which the digester contents are discharged, and the effectiveness of the absorption
systems employed for SCh recovery. Scrubbers can be installed that reduce SOa from this source by as
much as 99 percent.
Another source of sulfur dioxide emissions is the recovery system. Since magnesium-, sodium-, and
ammonium-base recovery systems all utilize absorption systems to recover SO2 generated in the re-
covery furnace, acid fortification towers, multiple-effect evaporators, etc., the magnitude of SCh
emissions depends on the desired efficiency of these systems. Generally, such absorption systems
provide better than 95 percent sulfur recovery to minimize sulfur makeup needs.
The various pulp washing, screening, and cleaning operations are also potential sources of SOs.
These operations are numerous and may account for a significant fraction of a mill's SOa emissions if
not controlled.
The only significant particulate source in the pulping and recovery process is the absorption system
handling the recovery furnace exhaust. Less particulate is generated in ammonium-base systems than
magnesium- or sodium-base systems as the combustion productions are mostly nitrogen, water vapor,
and sulfur dioxide.
Other major sources of emissions in a sulfite pulp mill include the auxiliary power boilers. Emis-
sion factors for these boilers are presented in Chapter 1.
Emission factors for the various sulfite pulping operations are shown in Table 10.1.3-1.
10.1.4 Neutral Sulfite Semichemical (NSSC) Pulping
10.1.4.1 Process Description1*7!15*16 - In this process, the wood chips are cooked in a neutral solution of
sodium sulfite and sodium bicarbonate. The sulfite ion reacts with the lignin in the wood, and the
sodium bicarbonate acts as a buffer to maintain a neutral solution. The major difference between this
process (as well as all semichemical techniques) and the kraft and acid sulfite processes is that only a
portion of the lignin is removed during the cook, after which the pulp is further reduced by mechani-
cal disintegration. Because of this, yields as high as 60 to 80 percent can be achieved as opposed to 50 to
55 percent for other chemical processes.

°These factors represent emissions that occur after the cook is completed and when the digester contents are discharged in-
to the blow pit or dump tank. Some relief gases are vented from the digester during the cook cycle, but these are usually
transferred to pressure accumulators, and the SC>2 therein is reabsorbed for use in the cooking liquor. These factors repre-
sent long-term average emissions; in some mills, the actual emissions will be intermittent and for short time periods.

ing them out.
* The recovery system at most mills is a closed system that includes the recovery furnace, direct contact evaporator, multi-
ple-effect evaporator, acid fortification tower, and S02 absorption scrubbers. Generally, there will only be one emission

10.2 PULPBOARD
i
10.2.1 General'
Pulpboaid manufacturing involves the fabrication of tibious boards from a pulp slurry. This includes two dis-
tinct types of product, paperboard and fiberboard. Paperboard is a general term that describes a sheet 0.01 2 inch
(0.30 mm) or more in thickness made of fibrous material on a paper-forming machine.2 Fiberboard. also relerred
to as particle board, is thicker than paperboard and is made somewhat differently.
There are two distinct phases in the conversion of wood to pulpboard (1) the manufacture ol pulp from raw
wood and (2) the manufacture of pulpboard fioin the pulp. This section deals only with the latter as the former
is covered under the section on the wood pulping industiy.
10.2.2 Process Description1
In the ni .iiufacture of paperboard, the stock is sent through screens into the head box, from which it flows
onto a mo\''ig screen Approximately 15 percent of the water is removed by suction boxes located under the
screen. Another 50 to 60 percent of the moisture content is removed in the drying section The dried board
then enters the calendar stack, which imparts the final surface to the product.
In the manufacture of fiberboard, the slurry that remains uftei pulping is washed and sent to the stock chests
where si/ing is added. The refined fiber from the stock chests is fed to the head box of the board machine. The
stock is next fed onto the forming screens and sent to dryers, after which the dry product is finally cut and
fabricated.
10.2.3 Emissions1
Emissions from the paperboard machine consist mainly of water vapor, little or no paniculate matter is emit-
ted from the dryers.3-5 Particulates are emitted, however, from the fibcrboard drying operation Additional
particulate emissions occur from the cutting and sanding operations. Emission factors for these operations are
given in section 10.4. Emission factors for pulpboard manufacturing are shown in Table 10.2-1.

10.3 PLYWOOD VENEER AND LAYOUT OPERATIONS
Hy Thomas Luhrc
10.3.1 Process Description 1
Plywood is a material made of several thin wood veneers bonded together with an adhesive. Its uses are many
and include wall sidings, sheathing, roof-decking, concrete-formboards, floors, and containers.
During the manufacture of plywood, incoming logs are sawed to desired length, debarked, and then peeled
into thin, continuous veneers of uniform thickness. (Veneer thicknesses of 1/45 to 1/5 inch are common.)
These veneers are then transported to special dryers where they are subjected to high temperatures until dried to
a desired moisture content. After drying, the veneers are sorted, patched, and assembled in layers with some
type of thermosetting resin used as the adhesive. The veneer assembly is then transferred to a hot press where,
under presssure and steam heat, the plywood product is formed. Subsequently, all that remains is trimming,
sanding, and possibly some sort of finishing treatment to enhance the usefullness of the plywood.
10.3.2 Emissions2^
The main sources of emissions from plywood manufacturing are the veneer drying and sanding operations.
A third source is the pressing operation although these emissions are considered minor.
The major pollutants emitted from veneer dryers are organics. These consist of two discernable fractions:
(1) condensibles, consisting of wood resins, resin acids, and wood sugars, which form a blue haze upon cooling
in the atmosphere, and (2) volatiles, which are comprised of terpines and unburned methane—the latter occurring
when gas-fired dryers are employed. The amounts of these compounds produced depends on the wood species
dried, the drying time, and the nature and operation of the dryer itself. In addition, negligible amounts of fine
wood fibers are also emitted during the drying process.
Sanding operations are a potential source of particulate emissions (see section 10.4). Emission factors for ply-
wood veneer dryers without controls are given in Table 10.3-1.

10.4 WOODWORKING OPERATIONS by Tom Lahre
10.4.1 General '5
"Woodworking," as defined in this section, includes any operation that involves the generation of small wood
waste particles (shavings, sanderdust, sawdust, etc.) by any kind of mechanical manipulation of wood, bark, or
wood byproducts. Common woodworking operations include sawing, planing, chipping, shaping, moulding,
hogging, latheing, and sanding. Woodworking operations are found in numerous industries such as sawmills;
plywood, particleboard, and hardboard plants; and furniture manufacturing plants.
Most plants engaged in woodworking employ pneumatic transfer systems to remove the generated wood waste
from the immediate proximity of each woodworking operation. These systems are necessary as a housekeeping
measure to eliminate the vast quantity of waste material that would otherwise accumulate. They are also a
convenient means of transporting the waste material to common collection points for ultimate disposal. Large
diameter cyclones have historically been the primary means of separating the waste material from the airstreams
in the pneumatic transfer systems, although baghouses have recently been installed in some plants for this
purpose.
The waste material collected in the cyclones or baghouses may be burned in wood waste boilers, utilized in the
manufacture of other products (such as pulp or particleboard), or incinerated in conical (teepee/wigwam)
burners. The latter practice is declining with the advent of more stringent air pollution control regulations and
because of the economic attractiveness of utilizing wood waste as a resource.
10.4.2 Emissions1'6
The only pollutant of concern in woodworking operations is particulate matter. The major emission points are
the cyclones utilized in the pneumatic transfer systems. The quantity of particulate emissions from a given
cyclone will depend on the dimensions of the cyclone, the velocity of the airstream, and the nature of the
operation generating the waste. Typical large-diameter cyclones found in the industry will only effectively collect
particles greater than 40 micrometers in diameter. Baghouses, when employed, collect essentially all of the waste
material in the airstream.
It is difficult to describe a typical woodworking operation and the emissions resulting therefrom because of
the many types of operations that may be required to produce a given type of product and because of the many
variations that may exist in the pneumatic transfer and collection systems. For example, the waste from
numerous pieces of equipment often feed into the same cyclone, and it is common for the material collected in
one or several cyclones to be conveyed to another cyclone. It is also possible for portions of the waste generated
by a single operation to be directed to different cyclones.
Because of this complexity, it is useful when evaluating emissions from a given facility to consider the waste
handling cyclones as air pollution sources instead of the various woodworking operations that actually generate
the particulate matter. Emission factors for typical large-diameter cyclones utilized for waste collection in
woodworking operations are given in Table 10.4-1.
Emission factors for wood waste boilers, conical burners, and various drying operations—often found in
facilities employing woodworking operations-are given in sections 1.6, 2.3, 10.2, and 10.3.

MISCELLANEOUS SOURCES
This chapter contains emission factor information on those source categories that differ substantially from-and
hence cannot be grouped with-the other "stationary" sources discussed in this publication. These "miscellaneous"
emitters (both natural and man-made) are almost exclusively "area sources", that is, their pollutant generating
process(es) are dispersed over large land areas (for example, hundreds of acres, as in the case of forest wildfires), as
opposed to sources emitting from one or more stacks with a total emitting area of only several square feet. Another
characteristic these sources have in common is the nonapplicability, in most cases, of conventional control
methods, such as wet/dry equipment, fuel switching, process changes, etc. Instead, control of these emissions,
where possible at all, may include such techniques as modification of agricultural burning practices, paving with
asphalt or concrete, or stabilization of dirt roads. Finally, miscellaneous sources generally emit pollutants
intermittently, when compared with most stationary point sources. For example, a forest fire may emit large
quantities of particulates and carbon monoxide for several hours or even days, but when measured against the
emissions of a continuous emitter (such as a sulfuric acid plant) over a long period of time (1 year, for example), its
emissions may seem relatively minor. Effects on air quality may also be of relatively short-term duration.
11.1 FOREST WILDFIRES
11.1.1 General1
by William M. Vatavuk, EPA
and George Yamate, IIT (Consultant)
A forest "wildfire" is a large-scale natural combustion process that consumes various ages, sizes, and types of
botanical specimens growing outdoors in a defined geographical area. Consequently, wildfires are potential sources
of large amounts of air pollutants that should be considered when trying to relate emissions to air quality.
The size and intensity (or even the occurrence) of a wildfire is directly dependent on such variables as the local
' meteorological conditions, the species of trees and their moisture content, and the weight of consumable fuel per
acre (fuel loading). Once a fire begins, the dry combustible material (usually small undergrowth and forest floor
litter) is consumed first, and if the energy release is large and of sufficient duration, the drying of green, live
material occurs with subsequent burning of this material as well as the larger dry material. Under proper
environmental and fuel conditions, this process may initiate a chain reaction that results in a widespread
conflagration.
The complete combustion of a forest fuel will require a heat flux (temperature gradient), an adequate oxygen
supply, and sufficient burning time. The size and quantity of forest fuels, the meteorological conditions, and the
topographic features interact to modify and change the burning behavior as the fire spreads; thus, the wildfire will
attain different degrees of combustion during its lifetime.
The importance of both fuel type and fuel loading on the fire process cannot be overemphasized. To meet the
pressing need for this kind of information, the U.S. Forest Service is developing a country-wide fuel identification
system (model) that will provide estimates of fuel loading by tree-size class, in tons per acre. Further, the
environmental parameters of wind, slope, and expected moisture changes have been superimposed on this fuel
model and incorporated into a National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDR). This system considers five classes of
fuel (three dead and two living), the components of which are selected on the basis of combustibility, response to
moisture (for the dead fuels), and whether the living fuels are herbaceous (plants) or ligneous (trees).
Most fuel loading figures are based on values for "available fuel" (combustible material that will be consumed in
a wildfire under specific weather conditions). Available fuel values must not be confused with corresponding values
for either "total fuel" (all the combustible material that would burn under the most severe weather and burning
11.1-1
-------
conditions) or "potential fuel" (the larger woody material that remains even after an extremely high intensity
wildfire). It must be emphasized, however, that the various methods of fuel identification are of value only when
they are related to the existing fuel quantity, the quantity consumed by the fire, and the geographic area and
conditions under which the fire occurs.
For the sake of conformity (and convenience), estimated fuel loadings were obtained for the vegetation in the
National Forest Regions and the wildlife areas established by the U.S. Forest Service, and are presented in Table
11.1-1. Figure 11.1-1 illustrates these areas and regions.

11.1.2 Emissions and Controls1
It has been hypothesized (but not proven) that the nature and amounts of air pollutant emissions are directly
related to the intensity and direction (relative to the wind) of the wildfire, and indirectly related to the rate at
which the fire spreads. The factors that affect the rate of spread are (1) weather (wind velocity, ambient
temperature, and relative humidity), (2) fuels (fuel type, fuel bed array, moisture content, and fuel size), and (3)
topography (slope and profile). However, logistical problems (such as size of the burning area) and difficulties in
safely situating personnel and equipment close to the fire have prevented the collection of any reliable
experimental emission data on actual wildfires, so that it is presently impossible to verify or disprove the
above-stated hypothesis. Therefore, until such measurements are made, the only available information is that

obtained from burning experiments in the laboratory. These data, in the forms of both emissions and emission
factors, are contained in Table 11.1-2. It must be emphasized that the factors presented here are adequate for
laboratory-scale emissions estimates, but that substantial errors may result if they are used to calculate actual
wildfire emissions.
The emissions and emission factors displayed in Table 11.1-2 are calculated using the following formulas:
FJ = PjL
EJ = FjA=PiLA
where: FJ = Emission factor (mass of pollutant/unit area of forest consumed)
PJ = Yield for pollutant "i" (mass of pollutant/unit mass of forest fuel consumed)
= 8.5 kg/MT (17 Ib/ton) for total particulate
= 70 kg/MT (140 Ib/ton) for carbon monoxide
= 12 kg/MT (24 Ib/ton) for total hydrocarbon (as CH4)

A = Land area burned
Ej = Total emissions of pollutant "i" (mass of pollutant)
For example, suppose that it is necessary to estimate the total particulate emissions from a 10,000 hectare
wildfire in the Southern area (Region 8). From Table 11.1-1 it is seen that the average fuel loading is 20
MT/hectare (9 ton/acre). Further, the pollutant yield for particulates is 8.5 kg/MT (17 Ib/ton). Therefore, the
emissions are:
E = (8.5 kg/MT of fuel) (20 MT of fuel/hectare) (10,000 hectares)
E = 1,700,000 kg = 1,700 MT
The most effective method for controlling wildfire emissions is, of course, to prevent the occurrence of forest
fires using various means at the forester's disposal. A frequently used technique for reducing wildfire occurrence is
"prescribed" or "hazard reduction" burning. This type of managed bum involves combustion of litter and
underbrush in order to prevent fuel buildup on the forest floor and thus reduce the danger of a wildfire. Although
some air pollution is generated by this preventative burning, the net amount is believed to be a relatively smaller
quantity than that produced under a wildfire situation.

11.2 FUGITIVE DUST SOURCES by Charles O. Mann, EPA,
and Chatten C. Cowherd, Jr.,
Midwest Research Institute
Significant sources of atmospheric dust arise from the mechanical disturbance of granular material exposed to
the air. Dust generated from these open sources is termed "fugitive" because it is not discharged to the
atmosphere in a confined flow stream. Common sources of fugitive dust include: (1) unpaved roads, (2)
agricultural tilling operations, (3) aggregate storage piles, and (4) heavy construction operations.
For the above categories of fugitive dust sources, the dust generation process is caused by two basic physical
phenomena:
1. Pulverization and abrasion of surface materials by application of mechanical force through implements
(wheels, blades, etc.).
2. Entrainment of dust particles by the action of turbulent air currents. Airborne dust may also be generated
independently by wind erosion of an exposed surface if the wind speed exceeds about 12 mi/hr (19 km/hr).
The air pollution impact of a fugitive dust source depends on the quantity and drift potential of the dust
particles injected into the atmosphere. In addition to large dust particles that settle out near the source (often
creating a localized nuisance problem), considerable amounts of fine particles are also emitted and dispersed over
much greater distances from the source.
Control techniques for fugitive dust sources generally involve watering, chemical stabilization, or reduction of
surface wind speed using windbreaks or source enclosures. Watering, the most common and generally least
expensive method, provides only temporary dust control. The use of chemicals to treat exposed surfaces provides
longer term dust suppression but may be costly, have adverse impacts on plant and animal life, or contaminate
the treated material. Windbreaks and source enclosures are often impractical because of the size of fugitive dust
sources. At present, too few data are available to permit estimation of the control efficiencies of these methods.
11.2.1 Unpaved Roads (Dirt and Gravel)
11.2.1.1 General-Dust plumes trailing behind vehicles traveling on unpaved roads are a familiar sight in rural
areas of the United States. When a vehicle travels over an unpaved road, the force of the wheels on the road
surface cause pulverization of surface material. Particles are lifted and dropped from the rolling wheels, and the
road surface is exposed to strong air currents in turbulent shear with the surface. The turbulent wake behind the
vehicle continues to act on the road surface after the vehicle has passed.
11.2.1.2 Emissions and Correction Parameters — The quantity of dust emissions from a given segment of
unpaved road varies linearly with the volume of traffic. In addition, emissions depend on correction parameters
(average vehicle speed, vehicle mix, surface texture, and surface moisture) that characterize the condition of a
particular road and the associated vehicular traffic.
In the typical speed range on unpaved roads, that is, 30-50 mi/hr (48-80 km/hr), the results of field
measurements indicate that emissions are directly proportional to vehicle speed.1"3 Limited field measurements
further indicate that vehicles produce dust from an unpaved road in proportion to the number of wheels.1 For
roads with a significant volume of vehicles with six or more wheels, the traffic volume should be adjusted to the
equivalent volume of four-wheeled vehicles.
Dust emissions from unpaved roads have been found to vary in direct proportion to the fraction of silt (that is,
particles smaller than 75 jum in diameter-as defined by American Association of State Highway Officials) in the
road surface material.1 The silt fraction is determined by measuring the proportion of loose, dry, surface dust

that passes a 200-mesh screen. The silt content of gravel roads averages about 12 percent, and the silt content of a
dirt road may be approximated by the silt content of the parent soil in the area.1
Unpaved roads have a hard, nonporous surface that dries quickly after a rainfall. The temporary reduction in
emissions because of rainfall may be accounted for by neglecting emissions on "wet" days, that is, days with
more than 0.01 in. (0.254 mm) of rainfall.
11.2.1.3 Corrected Emission Factor - The quantity of fugitive dust emissions from an unpaved road, per
vehicle-mile of travel, may be estimated (within ± 20 percent) using the following empirical expression1:
0.81s\/sV3^-w
365
where: E= Emission factor, pounds per vehicle-mile
s = Silt content of road surface material, percent
S = Average vehicle speed, miles per hour
w = Mean annual number of days with 0.01 in. (0.254 mm) or more of rainfall (see Figure 11.2-1)
The equation is valid for vehicle speeds in the range of 30-50 mi/hr (48-80 km/hr).
On the average, dust emissions from unpaved roads, as given by equation 1, have the following particle size
characteristics:1
Particle size Weight percent
< 30 /jm 60
> 30 urn 40
The 30 jum value was determined1 to be the effective aerodynamic cutoff diameter for the capture of road dust by
a standard high-volume filtration sampler, based on a particle density of 2.0-2.5 g/cm3. On this basis, road dust
emissions of particles larger than 30-40 /urn in diameter are not likely to be captured by high-volume samplers
remote from unpaved roads. Furthermore, the potential drift distance of particles is governed by the initial
injection height of the particle, the particle's terminal settling velocity, and the degree of atmospheric turbulence.
Theoretical drift distances, as a function of particle diameter and mean wind speed, have been computed for
unpaved road emissions.1 These results indicate that, for a typical mean wind speed of 10 mi/hr (16 km/hr),
particles larger than about 100 [im are likely to settle out within 20-30 feet (6-9 m) from the edge of the road.
Dust that settles within this distance is not included in equation 1. Particles that are 30-100 jum in diameter are
likely to undergo impeded settling. These particles, depending upon the extent of atmospheric turbulence, are
likely to settle within a few hundred feet from the road. Smaller particles, particularly those less than 10-15 jum
in diameter, have much slower gravitational settling velocities and are much more likely to have their settling rate
retarded by atmospheric turbulence. Thus, based on the presently available data, it appears appropriate to report
only those particles smaller than 30 /im (60 percent of the emissions predicted by Equation 1) as emissions that
may remain indefinitely suspended.
11.2.1.4 Control Methods - Common control techniques for unpaved roads are paving, surface treating with
penetration chemicals, working of soil stabilization chemicals into the roadbed, watering, and traffic control
regulations. Paving as a control technique is often not practical because of its high cost. Surface chemical
treatments and watering can be accomplished with moderate to low costs, but frequent retreatments are required
for such techniques to be effective. Traffic controls, such as speed limits and traffic volume restrictions, provide
moderate emission reductions, but such regulations may be difficult to enforce. Table 11.2.1-1 shows

approximate control efficiencies achievable for each method. Watering, because of the frequency of treatments
required, is generally not feasible for public roads and is effectively used only where watering equipment is
readily available and roads are confined to a single site, such as a construction location.

aBased on the assumption that "uncontrolled" speed is typically 40 mi/hr. Between 30-50 mi/hr emissions are linearly
proportional to vehicle speed. Below 30 mi/hr, however, emissions appear to be proportional to the square of the vehicle speed.1

11.2.2 Agricultural Tilling
11.2.2.1 General - The two universal objectives of agricultural tilling are the creation of the desired soil
structure to be used as the crop seedbed and the eradication of weeds. Plowing, the most common method of
tillage, consists of some form of cutting loose, granulating, and inverting the soil and turning under the organic
litter. Implements that loosen the soil and cut off the weeds but leave the surface trash in place, have recently
become more popular for tilling in dryland farming areas.
During a tilling operation, dust particles from the loosening and pulverization of the soil are injected into the
atmosphere as the soil is dropped to the surface. Dust emissions are greatest when the soil is dry and during final
seedbed preparation.
11.2.2.2 Emissions and Correction Parameters — The quantity of dust emissions from agricultural tilling is
proportional to the area of land tilled. In addition, emissions depend on the following correction parameters,
which characterize the condition of a particular field being tilled: (1) surface soil texture, and (2) surface soil
moisture content.
Dust emissions from agricultural tilling have been found to vary in direct proportion to the silt content (that
is, particles between 2 ;um and 50 jum in diameter-as defined by U.S. Department of Agriculture) of the surface
soil (0-10 cm depth).1 The soil silt content is commonly determined by the Buoyocous hydrometer method.2
Field measurements indicate that dust emissions from agricultural tilling are inversely proportional to the
square of the surface soil moisture (0-10 cm depth).1 Thornthwaite's precipitation-evaporation (PE) index3 is a
useful approximate measure of average surface soil moisture. The PE index is determined from total annual
rainfall and mean annual temperature; rainfall amounts must be corrected for irrigation.
Available test data indicate no substantial dependence of emissions on the type of tillage implement when
operating at a typical speed (for example, 8-10 km/hr).1
11.2.2.3 Corrected Emission Factor - The quantity of dust emissions from agricultural tilling, per acre of land
tilled, may be estimated (within ± 20 percent) using the following empirical expression1 :
1.4s (2)
E =-
/PE\;
(so)
where: E = Emission factor, pounds per acre
s = Silt content of surface soil, percent
PE = Thornthwaite's precipitation-evaporation index (Figure 11.2-2)
Equation 2, which was derived from field measurements, excludes dust that settles out within 20-30 ft (6-9 m) of
the tillage path.
On the average, the dust emissions from agricultural tilling, as given by Equation 2, have the following particle
size characteristics1:
12/75 Miscellaneous Sources 11.2.2-1
-------
Particle size Weigh t percen t
< 30 Aim 80
> 30 yum 20
The 30 jum value was determined1 to be the effective aerodynamic cutoff diameter for capture of tillage dust by a
standard high-volume filtration sampler, based on a particle density of 2.0-2.5 g/cm3. As discussed in section
11.2.1.3, only particles smaller than about 30 /mi have the potential for long range transport. Thus, for
agricultural tilling about 80 percent of the emissions predicted by Equation 2 are likely to remain suspended
indefinitely.
11.2.2.4 Control Methods4 — In general, control methods are not applied to reduce emissions from agricultural
tilling. Irrigation of fields prior to plowing will reduce emissions, but in many cases this practice would make the
soil unworkable and adversely affect the plowed soil's characteristics. Control methods for agricultural activities
are aimed primarily at reduction of emissions from wind erosion through such practices as continuous cropping,
stubble mulching, strip cropping, applying limited irrigation to fallow fields, building windbreaks, and using
chemical stabilizers. No data are available to indicate the effects of these or other control methods on agricultural
tilling, but as a practical matter it may be assumed that emission reductions are not significant.

11.2.3 Aggregate Storage Piles
11.2.3.1 General - An inherent part of the operation of plants that utilize minerals in aggregate form is the
maintenance of outdoor storage piles. Storage piles are usually left uncovered, partially because of the necessity
for frequent transfer of material into or out of storage.
Dust emissions occur at several points in the storage cycle—during loading of material onto the pile, during
disturbances by strong wind currents, and during loadout of material from the pile. The movement of trucks and
loading equipment in the storage pile area is also a substantial source of dust emissions.
11.2.3.2 Emissions and Correction Parameters - The quantity of dust emissions from aggregate storage
operations varies linearly with the volume of aggregate passing through the storage cycle. In addition, emissions
depend on the following correction parameters that characterize the condition of a particular storage pile: (1) age
of the pile, (2) moisture content, and (3) proportion of aggregate fines.
When freshly processed aggregate is loaded onto a storage pile, its potential for dust emissions is at a
maximum. Fines are easily disaggregated and released to the atmosphere upon exposure to air currents resulting
from aggregate transfer or high winds. As the aggregate weathers, however, the potential for dust emissions is
greatly reduced. Moisture causes aggregation and cementation of fines to the surfaces of larger particles. Any
significant rainfall soaks the interior of the pile, and the drying process is very slow.
11.2.3.3 Corrected Emission Factor - Total dust emissions from aggregate storage piles can be divided into the
contributions of several distinct source activities that occur within the storage cycle:
1. Loading of aggregate onto storage piles.
2. Equipment traffic in storage area.
3. Wind erosion.
4. Loadout of aggregate for shipment.
Table 11.2.3-1 shows the emissions contribution of each source activity, based on field tests of suspended dust
emissions from crushed stone and sand and gravel storage piles.1 A 3-month storage cycle was assumed in the
calculations.

Also shown in Table 11.2.3-1 are the climatic correction parameters that differentiate the emissions potential
of one aggregate storage area from another. Overall, Thornthwaite's precipitation-evaporation index2 best
characterizes the variability of total emissions from aggregate storage piles.
The quantity of suspended dust emissions from aggregate storage piles, per ton of aggregate placed in storage,
may be estimated using the following empirical expression1:
E = 0.33
PE \2 (3)
where: E = Emission factor, pounds per ton placed in storage
PE = Thornthwaite's precipitation-evaporation index (see Figure 1 1.2-2)
Equation 3 describes the emissions of particles less than 30 jum in diameter. This particle size was determined1 to
be the effective cutoff diameter for the capture of aggregate dust by a standard high-volume filtration sampler,
based on a particle density of 2.0-2.5 g/cm3 . Because only particles smaller than 30 nm are included, equation 3
expresses the total emissions likely to remain indefinitely suspended. (See section 11.2.1.3).
11.2.3.4 Control Methods — Watering and use of chemical wetting agents are the principal means for control of
aggregate storage pile emissions. Enclosure or covering of inactive piles to reduce wind erosion can also reduce
emissions. Watering is useful mainly to reduce emissions from vehicular traffic in the storage pile area. Frequent
watering can, based on the breakdowns shown in Table 11.2-3, reduce total emission by about 40 percent.
Watering of the storage piles themselves typically has only a very temporary, minimal effect on total emissions. A
much more effective technique is to apply chemical wetting agents to provide better wetting of fines and longer
retention of the moisture film. Continuous chemical treatment of material loaded onto piles, coupled with
watering or treatment of roadways, can reduce total particulate emissions from aggregate storage operations by
up to 90 percent.3

11.2.4 Heavy Construction Operations
11.2.4.1 General — Heavy construction is a source of dust emissions that may have substantial temporary impact
on local air quality. Building and road construction are the prevalent construction categories with the highest
emissions potential. Emissions during the construction of a building or road are associated with land clearing,
blasting, ground excavation, cut and fill operations, and the construction of the particular facility itself. Dust
emissions vary substantially from day to day depending on the level of activity, the specific operations, and the
prevailing weather. A large portion of the emissions result from equipment traffic over temporary roads at the
construction site.
11.2.4.2 Emissions and Correction Parameters — The quantity of dust emissions from construction operations
are proportional to the area of land being worked and the level of construction activity. Also, by analogy to the
parameter dependence observed for other similar fugitive dust sources,1 it is probable that emissions from heavy
construction operations are directly proportional to the silt content of the soil (that is, particles smaller than 75
Urn in diameter) and inversely proportional to the square of the soil moisture, as represented by Thornthwaite's
precipitation-evaporation (PE) index.2
11.2.4.3 Emission Factor — Based on field measurements of suspended dust emissions from apartment and
shopping center construction projects, an approximate emission factor for construction operations is:
1.2 tons per acre of construction per month of activity
This value applies to construction operations with: (1) medium activity level, (2) moderate silt content ('vSO
percent), and (3) semiarid climate (PE 'VSO; see Figure 11.2-2). Test data are not sufficient to derive the specific
dependence of dust emissions on correction parameters.
The above emission factor applies to particles less than about 30 jum in diameter, which is the effective cut-off
size for the capture of construction dust by a standard high-volume filtration sampler1, based on a particle
density of 2.0-2.5 g/cm3.
11.2.4.4 Control Methods — Watering is most often selected as a control method because water and necessary
equipment are usually available at construction sites. The effectiveness of watering for control depends greatly on
the frequency of application. An effective watering program (that is, twice daily watering with complete
coverage) is estimated to reduce dust emissions by up to 50 percent.3 Chemical stabilization is not effective in
reducing the large portion of construction emissions caused by equipment traffic or active excavation and cut and
fill operations. Chemical stabilizers are useful primarily for application on completed cuts and fills at the
construction site. Wind erosion emissions from inactive portions of the construction site can be reduced by about
80 percent in this manner, but this represents a fairly minor reduction in total emissions compared with emissions
occurring during a period of high activity.

EMISSION FACTORS
AND
NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
FOR STATIONARY SOURCES
The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) promulgated by the Environmental Protection
Agency for various industrial categories and the page reference in this publication where uncontrolled
emission factors for those sources are discussed are presented in Tables B-l and B-2. Note that, in the
case of steam-electric power plants, the NSPS encompass much broader source categories than the'
corresponding emission factors. In several instances, the NSPS were formulated on different bases
than the emission factors (for example, grains per standard cubic foot versus pounds per ton). Non-
criteria pollutant standards have not been included in Table B-2. Finally, note that NSPS relating to
opacity have been omitted because they cannot (at this time) be directly correlated with emission
factors.

APPENDIX C
NEDS SOURCE CLASSIFICATION CODES
AND
EMISSION FACTOR LISTING
The Source Classification Codes (SCC's) presented herein comprise the basic "building blocks" upon which the
National Emissions Data System (NEDS) is structured. Each SCC represents a process or function within a source
category logically associated with a point of air pollution emissions. In NEDS, any operation that causes air
pollution can be represented by one or more of these SCC's.
Also presented herein are emission factors for the five NEDS pollutants (particulates, sulfur oxides, nitrogen
oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide) that correspond to each SCC. These factors are utilized in NEDS to
automatically compute estimates of air pollutant emissions associated with a process when a more accurate
estimate is not supplied to the system. These factors are, for the most part, taken directly from AP-42. In certain
cases, however, they may be derived from better information not yet incorporated into AP-42 or be based merely
on the similarity of one process to another for which emissions information does exist.
Because these emission factors are merely single representative values taken, in many cases, from a broad range
of possible values and because they do not reflect all of the variables affecting emissions that are described in detail
in this document, the user is cautioned not to use the factors listed in Appendix C out of context to estimate the
emissions from any given source. Instead, if emission factors must be used to estimate emissions, the appropriate
section of this document should be consulted to obtain the most applicable factor for the source in question. The
factors presented in Appendix C are reliable only when applied to numerous sources as they are in NEDS.
NOTE: The Source Classification Code and emission factor listing presented in Appendix C was created on Octo-
ber 21, 1975, to replace the listing dated June 20,1974. The listing has been updated to include several new
Source Classification Codes as well as several new or revised emission factors that are considered necessary for the
improvement of NEDS. The listing will be updated periodically as better source and emission factor information
becomes available. Any comments regarding this listing, especially those pertaining to the need for additional
SCC's, should be directed to:

APPENDIX D
PROJECTED EMISSION FACTORS
FOR HIGHWAY VEHICLES
prepared by
DavidS. Kircher,
Marcia E. Williams,
INTRODUCTION and Charles C. Masser
In earlier editions of Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors (AP42), projected emission factors for
highway vehicles were integrated with actual, measured emission factors. Measured emission factors are mean
values arrived at through a testing program that involves a random statistical sample of in-use vehicles. Projected
emission factors, on the other hand, are a conglomeration of measurements of emissions from prototype vehicles,
best estimates based on applicable Federal standards, and, in some cases, outright educated guesses. In an attempt
to make the user more aware of these differences, projected emission factors are separated from the main body of
emission factors and presented as an appendix in this supplement to the report.
Measured emission estimates are updated annually at the conclusion of EPA's annual surveillance program.
Projected emission factors, however, are updated when new data become available and not necessarily on a
regular schedule. For several reasons, revisions to projected emission factors are likely to be necessary more
frequently than on an annual basis. First, current legislation allows for limited time extensions for achieving the
statutory motor vehicle emission standards. Second, Congressional action that would change the timetable for
achieving these standards, the standards themselves, or both is likely in the future. Third, new data on
catalyst-equipped (1975) automobiles are becoming available daily. As a result, the user of these data is
encouraged to keep abreast of happenings likely to affect the data presented herein. Every attempt will be made
to revise these data in a timely fashion when revisions become necessary.
This appendix contains mostly tables of data. Emission factor calculations are only briefly described because
the more detailed discussion in Chapter 3 applies in nearly all cases. Any exceptions to this are noted. The reader
is frequently referred to the text of Chapter 3; thus, it is recommended that a copy be close at hand.
Six vehicle categories encompassing all registered motor vehicles in use and projected to be in use on U.S.
highways are dealt with in this appendix. The categories in order of presentation are:
1. Light-duty, gasoline-powered vehicles
2. Light-duty, gasoline-powered trucks
3. Light-duty, diesel-powered vehicles
4. Heavy-duty, gasoline-powered vehicles
5. Heavy-duty, diesel-powered vehicles
6. Motorcycles
7. All highway vehicles

D.I LIGHT-DUTY, GASOLINE-POWERED VEHICLES
D.I.I General
This vehicle category represents passenger cars, a major source of ambient levels of carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides in many areas of the United States. The reader is encouraged to become
familiar with section 3.1.2, which discusses light-duty gasoline-powered vehicles in greater detail, before using the
data presented here.
D.I.2 CO, HC, NOX Exhaust Emissions
The calculation of projected composite emission factors is limited in this presentation to the Federal Test
Procedure (FTP) methodology (see section 3.1.2). The modal technique is not, generally, amenable to absolute
emission projections. A user who wants to quantify the projected emissions over a specific driving sequence can
apply the modal technique to the 1972 calendar as discussed in section 3.1.2. A ratio of the 1972 calendar year
modal emissions to the 1972 calendar year FTP emissions can be obtained, and this ratio can be applied to a
projected FTP value to adjust for the specific driving cycle of interest.
The calculation of composite emission factors for light-duty vehicles using the FTP procedure is given by:
n
enpstwx = /_, cipn min vips zipt Hptwx
i=n-12 (DM)
where: enpStwx = Composite emission factor in grams per mile (g/km) for calendar year (n), pollutant (p),
average speed (s), ambient temperature (t), percentage cold operation (w), and
percentage hot start operation (x)
cipn = The FTP mean emission factor for the itn model year light-duty vehicles during calendar
year (n) and for pollutant (p)
mjn = The fraction of annual travel by the itn model year light-duty vehicles during calendar
year(n)
vips = The speed correction factor for the ith model year light-duty vehicles for pollutant (p),
and average speed (s). This variable applies only to CO, HC, and NOX.
zipt = The temperature correction for the ith model year light-duty vehicles for pollutant (p)
and ambient temperature (t)
riptwx = The hot/cold vehicle operation correction factor for the ith model year light-duty
vehicles for pollutant (p), ambient temperature (t), percentage cold operation (w), and
percentage hot start operation (x).
The variable cjpn is summarized in Tables D.l-1 through D.l-21, segregated by location (California,
non-California, high altitude). The input mjn is described by example in Table D.l-22. The speed correction
factors are presented in Tables D.l-23 and D.l-24.
The temperature correction and hot/cold vehicle operation correction factors, given in Table D.l-25, are
separated into non-catalyst and catalyst correction factors. Catalyst correction factors should be applied for
model years 1975-1977. For non-catalyst vehicles, the factors are the same as those presented in section 3.1.2.
12/75 Appendix D D.l-1
-------
For catalyst vehicles, emissions during the hot start phase of operation (vehicle start-up after a short—less than 1
hour—engine-off period) are greater than vehicle emissions during the hot stabilized phase. Therefore, the
correction factor is a function of the percentage of cold operation, the percentage of hot start operation, and the
—ibient temperature(t).

aDriving patterns developed from CAPE-21 vehicle operation data (Reference 8) were input to the modal emission analysis
model (see section 3.1.2.3). The results predicted by the model (emissions at 5 and 10 mi/hr; 8 and 16 km/hr) were divided
by FTP emission factors for hot operation to obtain the above results. The above data are approximate and represent the best
currently available information.

+32). Similarly °Kelvin (K) must be converted to °F (F= 9/5(K-273.16)+32).
^The formulae for ziot enable the correction of FTP emission factors for ambient temperature. The formulae for f (t) are used in
conjunction with Equation D1-2 to calculate rjptw. If the variable rj_tw is used in Equation D1-1, z|pt must be used also.

EMISSION FACTORS

-------
where: f(t) and g(t) are given in Table D.I-25, w is the percentage of cold operation, and x is the percentage
of hot start operation. For pre-1975 model year vehicles, non-catalyst factors should be used. For
1975-1977, catalyst factors should be used.
The use of catalysts after 1978 is uncertain at present. For model years 1979 and beyond, the use of those
correction factors that produce the highest emission estimates is suggested in order that emissions are not
underestimated. The extent of use of catalysts in 1977 and 1978 will depend on the impact of the 1979 sulfuric
acid emission standard, which cannot now be predicted.
D.I.3 Crankcase and Evaporative Hydrocarbon Emission Factors
In addition to exhaust emission factors, the calculation of hydrocarbon emissions from gasoline motor vehicles
involves evaporative and crankcase hydrocarbon emission factors. Composite crankcase emissions can be
determined using:
m
in
i=n-12
where : fn = The composite crankcase hydrocarbon emission factor for calendar year (n)
h| = The crankcase emission factor for the i*h model year
ni;n = The weighted annual travel of the i^h model year during calendar year (n)
Crankcase hydrocarbon emission factor by model year are summarized in Table D.l-26.

D.1-J5
-------
There are two sources of evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from light-duty vehicles: the fuel tank and the
carburetor system. Diurnal changes in ambient temperature result in expansion of the air-fuel mixture in a
partially filled fuel tank. As a result, gasoline vapor is expelled to the atmosphere. Running losses from the fuel
tank occur as the fuel is heated by the road surface during driving, and hot soak losses from the carburetor system
occur after engine shutdown at the end of a trip. Carburetor system losses occur from such locations as the
carburetor vents, the float bowl, and the gaps around the throttle and choke shafts. Because evaporative emissions
are a function of the diurnal variation in ambient temperature and the number of trips per day, emissions are best
calculated in terms of evaporative emissions per day per vehicle. Emissions per day can be converted to emissions
per mile (if necessary) by dividing the emissions per day be an average daily miles per vehicle value. This value is
likely to vary from location to location, however. The composite evaporative hydrocarbon emission factor is
given by:
n
en = E (Si + kjd) (min)
i=n-12
(Dl-5)
where: en = The composite evaporative hydrocarbon emission factor for calendar year (n) in Ibs/day (g/day)
gi = The diurnal evaporative hydrocarbon emission factor for model year (i) in Ibs/day (g/day)
kj = The hot soak evaporative emission factor in Ibs/trip (g/trip) for the itn model year
d = The number of daily trips per vehicle (3.3 trips/vehicle-day is the nationwide average)
min = The weighted annual travel of the i model year during calendar year (n)
The variables gi and kj are presented in Table D.I-27 by model year.

cGram per day values are diurnal emissions plus hot soak emissions multiplied by the average number of trips per day Nationwide
data from References 1 and 2 indicate that the average vehicle is used for 3.3 trips per day. Gram/mile values were determined by
dividing average g/day by the average nationwide travel per vehicle (29.4 mi/day) from Reference 2.
dPost-1979 evaporative emission factors are based on the assumption that existing technology can result in further control of evapo-

D.I.4 Particulate and Sulfur Oxide Emissions
Light-duty, gasoline-powered vehicles emit relatively small quantities of particulate and sulfur oxides in _
comparison with emission levels of the three pollutants discussed above. For this reason, average rather than
composite emission factors should be sufficiently accurate for approximating particulate and sulfur oxide
emissions from light-duty, gasoline-powered vehicles. Average emission factors for these pollutants are presented
in Table D.l-21. No Federal standards for these two pollutants are presently in effect, although many areas do
have opacity (antismoke) regulations applicable to motor vehicles.
Sulfuric acid emission from catalysts is presently receiving considerable attention. An emission standard for
that pollutant is anticipated beginning in model year 1979.
D.I.5 Basic Assumptions
Light-duty vehicle emission standards. A critical assumption necessary in the calculation of projected composite
emission rates is the timetable for implementation of future emission standards for light- duty vehicles. The
timetable used for light-duty vehicles in this appendix is that which reflects current legislation and administrative
actions as of April 1, 1975. This schedule is:
• For hydrocarbons - 1.5 g/mi (0.93 g/km) for 1975 through 1977 model years; 0.41 g/mi (0.25 g/km) for
1978 and later model years.
• For carbon monoxide — 15 g/mi (9.3 g/km) for 1975 through 1977 model years; 3.4 g/mi (2.1 g/km) for
1978 and later model years.
• For nitrogen oxides - 3.1 g/mi (1.9 g/km) for 1975 and 1976 model years; 2.0 g/mi (1.24 g/km) for the
1977 model year; 0.4 g/mi (0.25 g/km) for 1978 and later model years.
Although the statutory standards of 0.41 g/mi for HC, 3.4 g/mi for CO, and 0.4 g/mi for NOX are legally
scheduled for implementation in 1978, consideration of increased sulfuric acid emission from catalysts, fuel
economy problems and control technology availability, and reevaluation of the level of NOX control needed to
achieve the N02 air quality standard led the EPA Administrator to recommend to Congress that the light-duty
vehicle emission control schedule be revised. The tabulated values in this appendix do not, however, reflect these
recent recommendations. If Congress accepts the proposed revisions, the appropriate tables will be revised.
Deterioration and emission factors. Although deterioration factors are no longer presented by themselves in this
publication, they are, nontheless, used implicitly to calculate calendar year emission factors for motor vehicles.
Based on an analysis of surveillance data,10'11 approximate linear deterioration rates for pre-1968 model years
were established as follows: carbon monoxide — 1 percent per calendar year, hydrocarbons—1 percent per
calendar year, and nitrogen oxides-0 percent per calendar year. For 1968-1974 model years, deterioration was
assumed to be 5 percent per calendar year for CO, 10 percent per calendar year for HC, and 7 percent per
calendar year for NOX. For all pre-1975 model years, linear deterioration was applied to the surveillance test
results to determine tabulated values.11 Vehicles of model year 1975 and later are assumed to have a
deterioration rate of 10 percent per calendar year for CO and 20 percent per calendar year for HC. For NOX, see
the following section on credit for inspection/maintenance systems. These deterioration rates are applied to new
vehicle emission factors for prototype cars.
D.I.6 Credit for Inspection/Maintenance Systems
If an Air Quality Control Region has an inspection/maintenance (I/M) program, the following credits can be
applied to light-duty vehicles:
1. A 10 percent reduction in CO and HC can be applied to all model year vehicles starting the year I/M is
introduced.
2. Deterioration following the initial 10 percent is assumed to follow the schedules below:
12/75 Appendix D D.l-17
-------
HC CO
Pre-1975 vehicles 2 percent per year 2 percent per year
1975 and later vehicles 1 2 percent per year 7 percent per year
3. This deterioration rate continues until a vehicle is 10 years old and remains stable thereafter. No catalyst
replacement is assumed.
4. The NO emission deterioration and response to I/M is highly conjectural; the estimates below are based on
the assumption of engine-out emission of 1.2 g/mi at low mileage, deterioration of engine-out emission at 4
percent per year, NO catalyst efficiency deterioration from 80 percent to 70 percent in the first 3 years,
and a linear deterioration in average catalyst efficiency from 70 percent to zero over the next 7 years
because of catalyst failures. The response to I/M without catalyst replacement is a reduction in the
engine-out deterioration from 4 to 2 percent per year. One catalyst replacement is assumed for the catalyst
replacement scenario. Note: There is no emission reduction due to I/M for pre-1978 vehicles.

D.I.7 Adjusting Emission Factor Tables for Changes in Future Light-Duty Vehicle Emission
Standards
Because it is likely that Congressional action will alter the existing light-duty emission standard schedule, a
methodology is presented here to enable modification of the emission factor tables (Tables D.l-1 through
D.l-20). The emission factor tables presented in this appendix, as stated previously, reflect statutory carbon
monoxide, hydrocarbon, and nitrogen oxides exhaust emission standards. If changes in the magnitude of the
standards and/or the implementation dates occur, appropriate adjustments can be accomplished using Table
D.l-28. Thi, table contains emission factors by vehicle age for a number of likely future emission standards.
In order to illustrate the proper use of Table 1-28, the following hypothetical example is given. Emission
standards applicable up to and including the 1977 model year are set by law, but changes in the schedule after
1977 (beginning with 1978 models) may occur. For purposes of this example, assume that the Congress changes
the existing law such that 1978-1979 model year vehicles are subject to a carbon monoxide emission standard of
9.0 g/mi, a hydrocarbon emission standard of 0.9 g/mi, and a nitrogen oxides emission standard of 2.0 g/mi.
Assume also that this scenario has no effect on 1980 and later models, which remain at present statutory levels.

This change in the standard schedule affects the tabulated values for the 1978 and 1979 model years presented*in
Tables D.l-11 through D.l-20. In other words, every number in every column in these tables headed with "1978
or 1979" model year must be completely changed. The appropriate replacement values are summarized in Table
D.l-28. The age of the vehicle refers to a year in a vehicle's life. For example, the 1978 model year vehicles are
assumed to be age one in calendar year 1978, age two in calendar year 1979 and so on.
To change the 1978 model year column in Table D.l-11 to reflect our hypothetical Congressional action, the
appropriate values are extracted from the first row (age one) of Table D.l-28. For a 9.0 g/mi CO standard, the age
one emission factor for both low and high altitude locations is 5.4 g/mi (3.4 g/km). This value is used to replace
the existing value [2.8 g/mi (1.7 g/km)] in the 1978 column of Table D.l-11. A similar procedure is used for
hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
To illustrate a slightly more complicated situation, consider the revision of Table D.l-16 to reflect our
hypothetical situation. All the values in the 1978 and 1979 columns must be changed. In 1980, the 1978 model
year vehicles are age three, thus from Table D.l-28 the appropriate carbon monoxide emission factor is 6.5 g/mi
(4.0 g/km). This value replaces the existing value of 3.4 g/mi (2.1 g/km). The 1979 model year carbon monoxide
emission factor is 5.9 g/mi (3.7 g/km), replacing the existing Table D.l-16 value of 3.1 g/mi (1.9 g/km). This
procedure is followed, using Table D.l-28, for all three pollutants. The procedure is similar for other standard
schedules and other calendar year tables.
The above methodology was designed to enable the user of this document to quickly revise the tables. Any
Congressional action will result in revision of the appropriate tables by EPA. Publication of these revised tables
takes time, however, and although every effort is made by EPA to make these changes quickly, the required lead
time is such that certain users may want to perform the modifications to the tables in advance. The standards
covered in Table D.l-28 represent the most likely values Congress will adopt, but by no means represent all
possible standards.

D.2 LIGHT-DUTY, GASOLINE-POWERED TRUCKS
D.2.1 General
This class of vehicles includes all trucks with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 8500 Ib (3856 kg) or less. It is
comprised of vehicles that formerly were included in the light-duty truck (6000 Ib, 2722 kg GVW and under)
and the heavy-duty vehicle (6001 Ib; 2722 kg GVW and over) classes. Generally, these trucks are used for
personal transportation as opposed to commercial use.
D.2.2 FTP Exhaust Emissions
Projected emission factors for light trucks are summarized in Tables D.2-1 through D.2-12, (For information
on projected emission factors for veiticles operated in California and at high altitude, see sections D.2.5 and
D.2.6). The basic methodology used for projecting light-duty vehicle emission factors (section D.I of this
appendix) also applies to this class. As in section D.I, the composite emission factor for light-duty trucks is given
by:

a Driving patterns developed from CAPE-21 vehicle operation data (Reference 4) were input to the modal emission analysis model
(see section 3.1.2.3). The results predicted by the model (emissions at 5 and 10 mi/hr (8 and 16 km/hr) were divided by FTP
emission factors for operation to obtain the above results. The above data are approximate and represent the best currently
available information.

aReference 5. Temperature (t) is expressed in F. In order to apply the above equations, C must first be converted to °F (F=9/5C
+ 32). Similarly °Kelvin (K) must be converted to °F (F= 9/5(K - 273.16) + 32).
The formulae for Zjpt enable the correction of FTP emission factors for ambient temperature. The formulae for f (t) are used in
conjunction with equation D.1-2 to calculate r|pwx. If the variable rjptvvx is used inequation D.1-1, z t must be used also. See
section D1 for appropriate formulae for calculating r

Appendix D
D.2-9
-------
For pre-1975 model year vehicles, noncatalyst temperature correction factors should be used. For 1975-1977
model year vehicles, temperature-dependent correction factors should be calculated for the catalyst and
noncatalyst class, and the results weighted into an overall factor that is two-thirds catalyst, one-third noncatalyst.
For 1978 and later model year vehicles, noncatalyst temperature correction factors should be applied.
D.2.3 Evaporative and Crankcase Emissions
In addition to exhaust emission factors, evaporative crankcase hydrocarbon emissions are determined using:
n
himin
(D2-2)
i=n-12
where: fn = The combined evaporative and crankcase hydrocarbon emission factor for calendar year (n)
hj = The combined evaporative and crankcase hydrocarbon emission rate for the ith model year.
Emission factors for this source are reported in Table D.2-15. The crankcase and evaporative
emissions reported in the table are added together to arrive at this variable.
min = The weighted annual travel of the i"1 model year vehicle during calendar year (n)

aReference 6. Tabulated values were determined by assuming that two-thirds of the light-duty trucks are 6000 Ibs GVW (2700 kg)
and under, and that one-third are 6001-8500 Ibs GVW (2700-3860 kg).
''Light-duty vehicle evaporative data (section 3.1.2) and heavy-duty vehicle evaporative data (section 3.1.4) were used to estimate
the listed values.
cFor California: Evaporative emissions for the 1970 model year are 1.9 g/km (3.1 g/mi) all other model years are the same as those
reported as "All area except high altitude and California". Crankcase emissions for the pre-1961 California light-duty trucks are
4.6 g/mi (2.9 g/km), 1961-1963 model years are 2.4 (g/mi (1.5 g/km), all post-1963 model year vehicles are 0.0 g/mi (0.0 g/km).
^Post-1979 evaporative emission factors are based on the assumption that existing technology, when applied to the entire light
truck class, can result in further control of evaporative hydrocarbons.

D.2.5 Basic Assumptions
Composition of class. For emission estimation purposes, this class is composed of trucks having a GVW of 8500
Ib (3856 kg) or less. Thus, this class includes the group of trucks previously defined in AP-42 af light-duty
vehicles (LDV) plus a group of vehicles previously defined as heavy-duty vehicles (HDV). On the basi* of numbers
of vehicles nationwide, the split is two-thirds LDVs, one-third HDVs.
Standards. The pollutant standards assumed for this category are weighted averages of the standards applicable to
the various vehicle classes that were combined to create the light-duty truck class. Until 1975, those light-duty
trucks that weighed 6000 Ib (2722 kg) and under were required to meet light-duty vehicle emission standards.
Beginning in 1975, in accordance with a court order, a separate light truck class was created. This class, which
comprises two-thirds of the light-duty truck class (as defined here), is required to meet standards of 20 g/mi (12.4
g/km) of carbon monoxide, 2 g/mi (1.2 g/km) of hydrocarbons, and 3.1 g/mi (1.9 g/km) of nitrogen oxides from
1975 through 1977. The remaining one-third of the light-duty trucks are currently subject to heavy-duty vehicle
standards. Data presented in section D.2 are based on the assumption that, beginning in 1978, the light-duty
truck class of 0-8500 Ib (3856 kg) GVW will be subject to the following standards: carbon monoxide-17.9 g/mi
(11.1 g/km), hydrocarbon-1.65 g/mi (1.0 g/km), and nitrogen oxides-2.3 g/mi (1.4 g/km).
Deterioration. The same deterioration assumptions discussed in section D.I for light-duty vehicles apply except
that 1975-1977 model year vehicles weighing between 6000 and 8500 Ib (2722-3856 kg) are assumed not to be
equipped with catalytic converters. Therefore, the deterioration factors for light-duty trucks are weighted values
composed of 6000-lb (2722 kg) GVW truck deterioration values and 6001 to 8500-lb (2722-3856 kg) GVW truck
deterioration values. The weighting factors are two-thirds and one-third, respectively.
Actual emission values. For 1972 and earlier model year vehicles, emission values are those measured in the EPA
Emission Surveillance Program7'8 and the baseline study of 6,000- to 10,000-lb (2,722-4,536 kg) trucks.9'10
12/75
Appendix D
D.2-11
-------
The tabulated values are weighted two-thirds for 0-6000-lb (0-2722 kg) trucks and one-third for 6000- to 8500-lb
(2722-3856 kg) trucks. For 1973-1974 model year emission values, this same weighting factor is applied to
projected 1973-1974 light-duty vehicle emissions and 1972 model year 6,000- to 10,000-lb (2,722-4,536 kg)
emission values. 1975-1977 model year emission values for 0- to 6000-lb (0 to 2722 kg) GVW trucks are based on
unpublished certification test data along with estimates of prototype-to-production differences. Post-1977 model
year emission values are based on previous relationships of low mileage in-use emission values to the standards.
California values. Projected emission factors for vehicles operated in California were not computed because of a
lack of information. The Pre-1975 California light-duty vehicle ratios can be applied to the light-duty trucks as a
best estimate (see section D.I). For 1975 and later, no difference is expected except in the value for nitrogen
oxides in 1975-1976; the California standards can be weighted two-thirds, and the truck baseline value of 7.1
g/mi (4.4 gm/km) one-third to get an estimated value for nitrogen oxides in 1975-1976.
D.2.6 High Altitude and Inspection/Maintenance Corrections
To correct for high altitude for all pollutants for light-duty trucks, the light-duty vehicle ratio of high altitude
to low altitude emission factors for the model year vehicle is applied to the calendar year in question (see section
D.I). Credit for inspection/maintenance for light-duty trucks is the same as that given for autos in section D.I. of
this appendix.

D.2-12 EMISSION FACTORS 12/75
-------
D.3 LIGHT-DUTY, DIESEL-POWERED VEHICLES
D.3.1 General
Although light-duty diesels represent only a small fraction of automobiles in use, their numbers can be
expected to increase in the future. Currently, only two manufacturers produce diesel-powered automobiles for
sale in the United States, but this may change as the demand for low polluting, economical engines grows.
D.3.2 Emissions
Because of the limited data base for these vehicles, no attempt has been made to predict deterioration factors.
The composite emission factor calculation procedure involves only the Federal Test Procedure (FTP) emission
factor and the fraction of travel by model year (see main text, section 3.1.3). The values presented in Table
3.1.3-1 apply to all model years and pollutants.
D.3.3 Basic Assumptions
Standards. See section D.I, Light-Duty, Gasoline-Powered Vehicles.
Deterioration. Because of the lack of data, no deterioration factors are assumed. Diesels are expected to continue
to emit carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons at their present rates but to meet future NOX standards exactly.

D.4 HEAVY-DUTY, GASOLINE-POWERED VEHICLES
D.4.1 General
This class includes vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of more than 8500 Ib (3856 kg). Most of the vehicles
are trucks; however, buses and special purpose vehicles such as motor homes are also included. As in other
sections of this appendix the reader is encouraged to refer to the main text (see section 3.1.4) for a much more
detailed presentation. The discussion presented here is brief, consisting primarily of data summaries.
D.4.2 Carbon Monoxide, Hydrocarbon, and Nitrogen Oxides Exhaust Emissions

Composite emission factor in g/mi (g/km) for calendar year (n) pollutant (p), and average speed

The test procedure emission factor for pollutant (p) in g/mi (g/km) for the itn model year in
calendar year (n)
The weighted annual travel of the itn model year vehicles during calendar year (n). The
determination of this variable involves the use of the vehicle year distribution.
The speed correction factor for the itn model year vehicles for pollutant (p) and average speed
(s)
The projected test procedure emission factors (qpn) are summarized in Tables D.4-1 through D.4-10. These
projected factors are based on the San Antonio Road Route test (see section 3.1.4) and assume 100 percent
warmed-up vehicle operation at an average speed of approximately 18 mi/hr (29 km/hr). Table D.4-11 contains a
sample calculation of the variable mm, using nationwide statistics. Speed correction factor data are contained in
Table D.4-12 and Table D.4-13.

aDriving patterns developed from CAPE-21 vehicle operation data (Reference 3) were input to the modal emission analysis model
(see section 3.1.2.3). The results predicted by the model (emissions at 8 and 16 km/hr; 5 and 10 mi/hr) were divided by FTP
emission factors for hot operation to obtain the above results. The above data represent the best currently available information
for light-duty vehicles. These data are assumed applicable to heavy-duty vehicles given the lack of better information.
D.4.3 Crankcase and Evaporative Hydrocarbons
In addition to exhaust emission factors, the calculation of evaporative and crankcase hydrocarbon emissions
are determined using:
hi min
(D.4-2)
i=n-12
where: fn = The combined evaporative and crankcase hydrocarbon emission factor for calendar year (n)
hj = The combined evaporative and crankcase hydrocarbon emission rate for the ith model year.
Emission factors for this source are reported in Table D.4-14. Crankcase and evaporative
emissions must be combined before applying equation D.4-2.
mjn = The weighted annual travel of the ith model year vehicle during calendar year (n)

aReferences 4 through 6 were used to estimate evaporative emission factors for heavy-duty vehicles (HDV). The formula from
section 3.1.2.5 was used to calculate g/mi (g/km) values, (evaporative emission factor = g + kd). The HDV diurnal evaporative
emissions (g) were assumed to be three times the LDV value to account for the larger size fuel tanks used on HDV. Nine trips
per day (d = number of trips per day) from Reference 3 were used in conjunction with the LDV hot soak emissions (t) to yield
a total evaporative emission rate in grams per day. This value was divided by 36.2 miles per day (58.3 km/day) from Reference
1 to obtain the per mile (per kilometer) rate.
'-'Crankcase factors are from Reference 7
CHDV evaporative emissions are expected to be controlled in 1978. Assume 50 percent reduction over the above post-1967 values
(post-1963 California).

D.4.4 Sulfur Oxide and Particulate Emissions
Projected sulfur oxide and particulate emission factors for all model year heavy-duty, gasoline-powered
vehicles are presented in Table D.4-15. Sulfur oxides factors are based on fuel sulfur content and fuel
consumption. (Sulfuric acid emissions are between 1 and 3 percent of sulfur oxides emissions.) Tire-wear
particulate factors are based on automobile test results, a premise necessary because of the lack of data for
heavy-duty vehicles. Truck tire wear is likely to result in greater particulate emission than that for automobiles
because of larger tires, heavier loads on tires, and more tires per vehicle. Although the factors presented in Table
D.4-15 can be adjusted for the number of tires per vehicle, adjustments cannot be made to account for the other
differences.

aCalculated from the Reference 8 value of 12 lb/103gal (1.46 g/liter)
gasoline. A 6.0 mi/gal (2.6 km/liter) value from Reference 9 was used
to convert to a per kilometer (per mile) emission factor.
"Reference 10. The data from this reference are for passenger cars. In
the absence of specific data for heavy-duty vehicles, they are assumed
to be representative of truck-tire-wear particulate. An adjustment is
made for trucks with more than four tires. T equals the number of tires
divided by four.
cBased on an average fuel consumption of 6.0 mi/gal (2.6 km/liter) from
Reference 9, on a 0.04 percent sulfur content from References 11 and
12, and on a density of 6.1 Ib/gal (0.73 kg/liter) from References 11
and 12.
D.4.5 Basic Assumptions
Emission factors for heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) are based on San Antonio Road Route data for controlled
(1970-1973 model years) trucks1 3 and for uncontrolled (pre-1970 model years) trucks.1 4 Unpublished data on
1974 trucks and technical judgment were used to estimate emission factors for post-1973 HDV. In doing so, it
was assumed that diesel trucks will take over most of the "heavy" HDV market (trucks weighing more than
13,000 kg) and that the average weight of a gasoline-powered HDV will be approximately 26,000 Ibs (11,790 kg).
It is expected that interim standards for HDV, which will result in significant HC reduction, will be implemented
in 1978.
Projected emission factors at high altitude and for the State of California are not reported in these tables;
however, they can be derived using the following methodologies. Although all pre-1975 model year HDV
emission factors for California vehicles are the same as those reported in these tables, the hydrocarbon and
nitrogen oxides values for 1975-1977 model years in California can be assumed equal to the national (tabulated)
values for the 1978 model year. Carbon monoxide levels for 1975-1977 HDV in California can be assumed to be
9 percent lower than the 1975-1977 national levels. To convert the national HDV levels for high altitude for all
pollutants in a given calendar year, the light-duty vehicle (LDV) ratio of high altitude to low altitude emission
factors (by pollutant) can be used. For pre-1970 model year trucks, the pre-1968 model year LDV ratio can be
applied. For 1970-1973 model year trucks, the 1968 model year LDV ratio can be applied. For 1974-1977
trucks, the 1970 LDV ratio can be applied. For post-1977 trucks, the 1975 model year LDV ratio can be applied.
See section D.I of this appendix to obtain the data necessary to calculate these ratios.

D.S HEAVY-DUTY, DIESEL-POWERED VEHICLES
D.5.1 General
This class of vehicles includes all diesel vehicles with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of more than 6000 Ib
(2772 kg). On the highway, heavy-duty diesel engines are primarily used in trucks and buses. Diesel engines in any
application demonstrate operating principles that are significantly different from those of the gasoline engine.
D.5.2 Emissions of Carbon Monoxide, Hydrocarbons, and Nitrogen Oxides
Emissions from heavy-duty, diesel-powered vehicles during a calendar year (n) and for a pollutant (p) can be
approximately calculated using:
enps = cipnminvips .-
i=n-12
where: enps = Composite emission factor in g/mi (g/km) for calendar year (n), pollutant (p), and average
speed (s)
cipn = The emission rate in g/mi (g/km) for the itn model year vehicles in calendar year (n) over a
transient urban driving schedule with average speed of approximately 18 mi/hr
mjn = The fraction of total heavy-duty diesel miles (km) driven by the i"1 model year vehicles during
calendar year (n)
vips = The speed correction factor for the i"1 model year heavy-duty diesel vehicles for pollutant (p)
and average speed (s)
Values for cjpn are given in Table D.5-1 ; values for mjn are in Table D.5-2. The speed correction factor (vjps) can
be computed using data in Table D.5-3. Table D.5-3 gives heavy-duty diesel HC, CO, and NOx emission factors in
grams per minute for idle operation, for an urban route with average speed of 18 mi/hr (29 km/hr), and for
operation at an over-the-road speed of 60 mi/hr (97 km/hr).

bData based on assumed fuel sulfur content of 0.20 percent. A fuel
economy of 4.6 mi/gal (2.0 km/liter) was used from Reference 4.
Sulfunc acid emissions range from 0.5 - 3.0 percent of the sulfur
oxides emissions, with the best estimate being 1 percent. These esti-
mates are based on engineering judgment rather than measurement
data.
D.5.4 Basic Assumptions
Hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels for heavy-duty diesel vehicles until model year 1978 are given by
Reference 1. An interim standard for diesel HDV that will restrict nitrogen oxides levels, but not hydrocarbon or
carbon monoxide levels, is expected to be implemented in 1978. For purposes of the projections, the nitrogen
oxides standard was assumed to be 9 grams per brake horsepower per hour. Nitrogen oxide emission standards in
California for 1975-1977 model year HDV are assumed to be equivalent to the national levels in 1978;
hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels in California will be the same as national levels. A separate table is not
given for California, but emissions are the same at those reported in Table D.5-1, with the exception of the
1975-1977 model years. It is assumed that the effect of altitude on diesel emissions is minimal and can be
considered negligible.3

The composite exhaust emission factor is calculated using:

i=n-12
where: enps = Composite emission factor in g/mi (g/km) for calendar year (n), pollutant (p), and average

Vi
ips
The weighted annual travel of the ith model year vehicles during calendar year (n). The
determination of this variable involves the use of the vehicle year distribution.
The speed correction factor for the im model year vehicles for pollutant (p) and average speed
(s)
The emission factor results of the Federal Test Procedure (cjpn) as modified for motorcycles are summarized in
Tables D.6-1 through D.6-6. Table D.6-7 contains a sample calculation of the variable mjn using nationwide
statistics.2 Because there are no speed correction factor data for motorcycles, the variable VjpS will be assumed to
equal one. The emission factor for particulate, sulfur oxide, and aldehyde and for crankcase and evaporative
hydrocarbons are presented in Table D.6-8.

"Most 2-stroke engines use crankcase induction and produce no crankcase losses.
"-Evaporative emissions were calculated assuming that carburetor losses were negligible. Diurnal breathing of the fuel tank (a func-
tion of fuel vapor pressure, vapor space in the tank, and diurnal temperature variation) was assumed to account for all the evapora-
tive losses associated with motorcycles. The value presented is based on average vapor pressure, vapor space, and temperature
variation.
^Calculated using a 0.043 percent sulfur content (by weight) for regular fuel used in 2-stroke engines and 0.022 percent sulfur con-
tent (by weight) for premium fuel used in 4-stroke engines.
D.6.3 Basic Assumptions
Baseline emission data are from Reference 1. The motorcycle population was assumed to be 60 percent
4-stroke and 40 percent 2-stroke.
For the interim standards, deterioration factors for 1977 through 1984 were assumed to be: 10 percent per
calendar year for hydrocarbons, 5 percent per calendar year for carbon monoxide, and 0 percent per calendar
year for nitrogen oxides. For 1985 and beyond, deterioration factors are: 20 percent per calendar year for
hydrocarbon, 10 percent per calendar year for carbon monoxide, and 0 percent per calendar year for nitrogen
oxides. Motorcycles are assumed to deteriorate until they reach uncontrolled emission values. The deterioration
rate is a fixed percentage of base year emissions.

D.7 ALL HIGHWAY VEHICLES
D.7.1 General
Emission factors for 1972 for all major classes of highway vehicle are summarized in section 3.1.1. A number
of scenarios that embody a range of local conditions, such as different ambient temperatures and average route
speeds, are considered. Although similar data for calendar years 1973 through 1990 are presented here, only one
scenario is presented. This single scenario is presented because it is general in nature and, therefore, most
appropriate for a range of applications. The authors, however, believe that projections of any significance should
be based on the data and methodologies presented in sections D.I through D.6 of this appendix. The data
presented in this section are, clearly, only approximations and are useful only for rough estimates.
The scenario considers the four major highway vehicle classes: light-duty, gasoline-powered vehicles (LDV);
light-duty, gasoline-powered trucks (LDT); heavy-duty, gasoline-powered vehicles (HDV); and heavy-duty,
diesel-powered vehicles (HDD). An average route speed of approximately 19.6 mi/hr (31.6 km/hr) is assumed.
The ambient temperature is assumed to be 24°C (75°F). Twenty percent of LDV and LDT operation is
considered to be in a cold operation; all HDV and HDG operation is taken to be in warmed-up condition. The
percentage of total vehicular travel by each of the vehicle classes is based on nationwide data.1 '2 The percentage
of travel by class is assumed to be 80.4 percent by LDV, 11.8 percent by LDT, 4.6 by HDV, and 3.2 percent bv
HDD.
D.7.2 Emissions
Emissions for the five pollutants for all highway vehicles are presented in Table D.7-1. The results are only an
approximate indication of how future emission-controlled vehicles will influence the overall emissions from the
fleet of vehicles on the road. These values do not apply to high altitude areas, nor do they apply to vehicles in the
State of California.

16. ABSTRACT
1
Emission data obtained from source tests, material balance studies, engineering
estimates, etc., have been compiled for use by individuals and groups responsible
for conducting air pollution emission inventories. Emission factors given in this
document, the result of the expansion and continuation of earlier work, cover most
of the common emission categories: fuel combustion by stationary and mobile sources;
combustion of solid wastes; evaporation of fuels, solvents, and other volatile sub-
stances; various industrial processes; and miscellaneous sources. When no specific
source-test data are available, these factors can be used to estimate the quantities
of primary pollutants (particulates, CO, S02, NOX, and hydrocarbons) being released
from a source or source group.
