Abstract

This chapter describes the emission and control of primary particulate matter (PM) in iron and steelmaking plants. The organized and unorganized emission sources of total suspended particulates (TSP) are presented and their emission amounts are reported. Considering the increasingly strict environmental air quality requirements, the emissions of inhalable particles (PM10) and fine particles (PM2.5) during the iron and steelmaking processes are further discussed. For a sustainable and green iron and steel production, effective dust removal technologies adopted at present and should be developed and promoted in the future are also presented in this chapter.
