A Comprehensive pollution control system for the mitigation of fine particulates of lead and Sox gases from secondary lead smelters

A large number of small scale units making use of scrap, dross and junk automobile storage batteries do not adopt appropriate pollution control measures mostly due to their financial constraints. They emit fine par¬ticulates of lead and SO, gases to the surrounding atmosphere which are injurious to the health of people residing in the neighbouring localities. In view of this, National Metallurgical Laboratory, Jamshedpur has de¬veloped a comprehensive pollution control system for control of fine par¬ticulates of lead and SOX gases from secondary lead smelters.
