Some emission control techniques in glass processing plant

Environmental protection is one of the major concerns these days because pollution is getting worse and worse and it has adverse effects on living organisms and humans. The contribution to environmental pollution due to glass manufacturing processes has not been studied intensively. In this paper we have presented work on dealing with emission in glass manufacturing plant by developing some useful techniques. We have provided information on the features of furnaces, the composition of raw materials, environmental indices and standards. In particular, we have focused on NOx, SOx and opacity control methods. The study reviews relevant variables that can be effectively controlled so as to reduce the emission by 10-20% in the glass manufacturing process.
