It has been established that organic aerosol (OA) makes up for a major fraction of fine particulate matter in all region of the atmosphere. This fraction accounts approximately for half of the total PM2.5 dry mass.1,2 Primary OA is directly emitted in the troposphere from anthropological and natural sources whereas secondary OA (SOA) is formed in-situ in the atmosphere from the oxidation of biogenic or anthropogenic gas-phase precursors and subsequent partitioning of the less volatile products into the particle phase. The current number is that, on a global scale, SOA would represent around 60% of the overall OA.3 However, recent global mass-balance estimations for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOC) suggest that this number could under-predicts SOA production.4 Recent field measurements in urban locations are also in support of a larger share, indicating that SOA is the dominant fraction of OA, with amounts considerably 20 greater than models predictions.

In the production of metals from ore or recycled products there are many processes where pollutants form. Smelters require high amount of energy and depending on the source of this energy and where production takes place, energy consumption can also contribute to the amount of pollution in your flue gas. In processes for metals, the metal should be purified from unwanted materials. It is inevitable that these materials as well as small amounts of the metals end up in the flue gas. Our technology is unique in its approach. It does not matter if your pollution is particulate matter, even if they are the smallest possible fraction of PM2.5, or if they are aerosols. Our patented technology handles them all. Because of the cost of production disruptions, the reliability and the high availability of our solutions provide benefits that further enhance the benefits of our technology solutions.
