  "text": "Technique\nDescription\nElectrostatic precipitator\nElectrostatic precipitators operate such that particles are charged and separated under the influence of an electrical field. Electrostatic precipitators are capable of operating over a wide range of conditions\nBag filter\nBag filters are constructed from porous woven or felted fabric through which gases are flowed to remove particles.\nThe use of a bag filter requires a fabric material selection adequate to the characteristics of the waste gases and the maximum operating temperature\nReduction of the volatile components by raw material modifications\nThe formulation of batch compositions might contain very volatile components (e.g. boron compounds) which could be minimised or substituted for reducing dust emissions mainly generated by volatilisation phenomena\nElectric melting\nThe technique consists of a melting furnace where the energy is provided by resistive heating.\nIn the cold-top furnaces (where the electrodes are generally inserted at the bottom of the furnace) the batch blanket covers the surface of the melt with a consequent, significant reduction of the volatilisation of batch components (i.e. lead compounds)",
