2.C.7.a - Copper Production
Short description
~ Method | ~ AD | ~ EF | ~ Key Category | 1 | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
= T1 | = AS | = D, CS | = L & T: Cd | L: Pb |
Within this NFR sub-category, SO,,2,,, PM,,2.5,,, PM,,10,,, TSP, PCDD/F, HCB, As, Cd, Cu, Hg, and Pb emissions from the production of copper are reported.
Methodology
Activity data
The yearly production figures were taken from the annual statistical report of the German association for non-ferrous metals 1).
Emission factors
The emission factors are either default values according to the 2016 EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook or determined in several research projects. The EF for the heavy metals (HM) are taken from a research project 2).

PCDD/F | > 2.9 | µg/t | |||
TSP | > 0.100 | kg/t | |||
PM,,10,, | > 0.085 | kg/t | |||
PM,,2.5,, | > 0.07 | kg/t | |||
SO,,2,, | > 3.0 | kg/t | |||

Recalculations
With activity data and emission factors remaining unrevised, no recalculations have been carried out compared to last year's submission.
Planned improvements
No category specific improvements are planned.
