Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of pollutant emissions specifics to copper waste valorization. There are made appreciations of the role and importance which have the characteristics of mixed charge with waste having a variable content of copper (copper and copper alloy waste, residues, sludges, slimes, dusts etc.) having impurities or contaminants (especially organic pollutants) as well as fluxes and fondants (NaCl, KCl etc) used as first important source of pollutant emissions for secondary copper metallurgy.
