Abstract: There are 202 electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) industries in China with a total capacity of 1.88million tons in 2008. This accounts for 98.58% of the world's overall capacity of EMM production. The industries generate a huge number of pollutants. To ascertain the factors causing these pollutants in the EMM industries in China, and cost-effective ways to reduce this pollution, a study was carried out at one of the largest Chinese EMM industries with the best operation practice from September 2005 to June 2007. Material and substance balances were established on the basis of gathering data through on-site measurement and auditing. Analyses of the pollution materials were subsequently conducted.
