Fluoride emissions, in the form of gaseous hydrogen fluoride and sodium and aluminium fluorides and unused cryolite as particulates, are the major undesirable fume component produced in the aluminium smelting process. Such emissions can be reduced through the use of fume control systems, operational good practice and improved technology.
Direct and Indirect CO2 Equivalent Emissions from Primary Aluminium …
Although modern aluminium smelters using green electrical energy generation can achieve on-site emissions of about 2 kg CO 2 equivalents per tonne of aluminium produced (t CO 2 e/t Al), the total global average emissions from primary aluminium production from bauxite mine-to-metal ingot are much larger, about 16.5 t CO 2 e/t Al. Two thirds of the …

Community Health Risk Assessment of Primary Aluminum Smelter Emissions
Primary aluminum smelters emit fluorides in gaseous and particulate forms. The role of fluorides in community health has been less studied than PMs, SO 2, and NO x. In aluminum smelter towns, their role is difficult to sort out, because they are invariably accompanied by significant amounts of particulate matter and SO 2.
SO Emissions Reduction A New Challenge for Aluminium …
The particulate emissions are primarily controlled using fabric filters or ESPs, while dry scrubbing technology, using alumina as an adsorbent, is used to control fluoride emissions.
Aluminium Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions
These emissions are process emissions and do not represent the carbon footprint of recycled aluminium. Recycling processes emissions data are taken from the publications of European Aluminium (2015 data) and The Aluminum Association (US) (2010 data) and applied to the global recycling industry, with the same per tonne CO2e emissions assumed for ...
