Source Reduction - In 2012 Asarco voluntarily installed air pollution controls on its anode furnaces, decreasing HAPS emissions by approximately 70%. The recovered anode dust was reprocessed. The project also resulted in approximately 12% savings in natural gas consumption. Complete results were realized in 2013.
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Other: the primary copper industry deals with raw materials whose composition is determined by the composition of the ore body, which is a major constraint for source reduction. |
