# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1032 of 13 June 2016 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for the non-ferrous metals industries (notified under document C(2016) 3563) (Text with EEA relevance), Division BAT 142

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

In order to reduce SO2 emissions to air (other than those that are routed to the sulphuric acid plant) from a melting and smelting operation for the production of Doré metal, including the associated incineration, calcining and drying operations, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.
Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.
Technique
Applicability
a
Lime injection in combination with a bag filter
Generally applicable
b
Wet scrubber
Applicability may be limited in the following cases:
very high off-gas flow rates (due to the significant amounts of waste and waste water generated)
in arid areas (due to the large volume of water necessary and the need for waste water treatment)
BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 41.
Table 41
BAT-associated emission levels for SO2 emissions to air (other than those that are routed to the sulphuric acid plant) from a melting and smelting operation for the production of Doré metal, including the associated incineration, calcining and drying operations
As a daily average or as an average over the sampling period.
Parameter
BAT-AEL (mg/Nm3)
SO2
50-480
