Synergies of Cutting Air Pollutants and CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions by the End-of-Pipe Treatment Facilities in a Typical Chinese Integrated Steel Plant

Synergies of Cutting Air Pollutants and CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions by the End-of-Pipe Treatment Facilities in a Typical Chinese Integrated Steel Plant

Reducing industrial emissions has become increasingly important, given China’s ongoing industrialization. In this study, the reduction in CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and air pollutants due to end-of-pipe treatment in a typical integrated steel plant in China was assessed. The emissions were...
