Impact of Potroom Work Practices on Roofline Fluoride Emissions and Wet
Roofline wet scrubbers are employed at aluminum smelters to provide significant reduction in fluoride emissions from the potrooms. Roofline wet scrubbers are most useful at locations that have emission performance constraints owing to hooding efficiency limitations or pot technology issues that increase fluoride losses to the potroom.
New process efficiencies in aluminium smelters
the electrolytic cells in aluminium smelters are based on either co-current (parallel) or cross-current processes. In the co-current process the ad-sorbent (alumina) is introduced upstream of a reactor, where it mixes with the gas. Adsorption is achieved through thorough contact between the alumina particles and the gaseous fluoride (hydrogen flu-
