Metals emissivity Table

Choice of Atomization and Excitation Source Except for the alkali metals, detection limits when using an ICP are significantly better than those obtained with flame emission (Table 10.14). Plasmas also are subject to fewer spectral and chemical interferences. For these reasons a plasma emission source is usually the better choice.

In general, color emitters used as components of pyrolants are metallic compounds rather than metal particles. Metal particles agglomerate to form liquid metal droplets and liberation of metal atoms in flames occurs only at the surface of the droplets. On the other hand, metallic compounds decompose at relahvely low temperatures compared with metal particles and liberate dispersed metal atoms. Table 12.5 shows typical salts used to obtain emissions of the requisite colors. 

Fig. 7. Comparison of normalized metal emissions from two stoker boilers. Values represent emissions from combustion of coal/tyre blends normalized to the respective emissions from combustion of pure coal. Purdue University data set is for 5 wt% TDF. Symbols for University of Iowa data set A, 4 wt% TDF , 8 wt% TDF. Data without error bars have standard deviations that are smaller than the symbols. Data from Table 8.

The results reported by Carrasco et al. (1998) revealed that nearly all studied metal emissions, measured at the exit of a cement kiln stack, were significantly higher when a blend of 80 wt% coal + 20 wt% TDF was combusted instead of pure coal. Especially notable are increased emissions in Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, and Pb (Table 9). The exception to this trend is Hg, which exhibited a 30% reduction in its emission rate when the coal + TDF mixture was burned. The data further document reductions in NO and organic compound emissions, including PAHs, where the most drastic decrease was observed for dioxins and furans. On the other hand, emissions of CO, S02, and HC1 increased considerably with the addition of TDF (Table 9). The total particulate emissions from combustion of the blend were only slightly greater than those from pure coal. Carrasco et al. (1998) used their data to model atmospheric dispersion of the emitted contaminants in the vicinity of the...

In AIN crystals, transition metal PL appears at about the same energetic position as in GaN. In TABLE 1 we summarise 3d transition metal emissions identified in AIN and GaN and corresponding references. The transitions are listed in the last column. It seems that 3d transition metals detected in GaN are generally detected in AIN at nearly the same energetic position. This indicates that the bonding between the four nitrogen ligands and the 3d transition metals in GaN and AIN is very similar. 

The results of NITEP mirrored that of the 1987 US EPA recommendations for GCP (see Table 1). Using the modified design and control models identified in the study, 10- to 100-fold reductions in trace organic, particulate and metals emissions were achieved on a consistent basis.

The particle size of metal emissions from smelters and metallurgical processes is fikely to vary widely with the type of process and the emission controls used. Table III shows that about 45% of the particles emitted from metallurgical processes is in the fine particle range. Lee et al. (27) studied emissions from an electric arc furnace steel plant equipped with a baghouse control device and found that 57% of the total particulate matter was less than 1 /on in diameter. Little information on the particle size of specific metal emissions is available in the literature.

In Austria, in the last couple of years first steps have been set to the reduction of heavy metal emissions. These were specific measures such as the prohibition of leaded gasoline from 1993, but also non-specific measures for the reduction of particulate emissions in industry and power plants which simultaneously brought about a reduction in heavy metal emissions. Nevertheless, further measures for the reduction of heavy metal emissions are considered to be necessary due to their higher local incidence. Generally, lead represents the most important heavy metal emitted in Austria (Table 4) (Federal Ministry for Environment, Youth and Family, 1997).

The limits are very low at fractions of parts per billion. A similar table exists for mercury emission limits (EC directive 84/156/EEC) but with even stricter emission limits. In the UK cadmium legislation has recently become stricter, in line with the EC initiative. December 1993 saw the publication, in the UK, of the Department of the Environment Process Guidance Notes (IPR 4/22) related to the manufacture of zinc, lead, antimony, arsenic, beryllium, gallium, indium, palladium, platinum, selenium, tellurium, thallium and their compounds. The publication tabulates potential sources of metal emission and places a large emphasis on effective and efficient waste minimisation techniques. The document sets the scene for stricter legislation on metal emissions in the UK. 

With the above legislation in mind it is possible to list some industries which will be affected by tight controls on metal emissions (see Table 14.3).

All metal emissions must be viewed in the light of local, naturally occurring metal concentrations. As a guide it is useful to start with the natural concentration of metals in sea water. Table 14.4 lists the approximate concentrations of metals in sea water at ca. pH 7.
