This standard specifies the emission limits, monitoring and supervision requirements of air pollutants for sintering and pelletizing of iron and steel industry. This standard specifies special discharge limits for air pollutants in order to promote harmony development of regional economy and environment, push the adjustment of economic structure and transformation of economic growth mode, and lead the development trend of production process and pollution treatment technology of sintering and pelletizing of iron and steel.
The water pollutants, odor pollutants and ambient noise made by sintering and pelletizing of iron and steel enterprise are applicable to the corresponding national standards for the pollutants emission; and the identification, treatment and disposal of the solid waste generated are applicable to the national control standards for the solid waste pollution.
This standard is issued for the first time. From the implementation date, the emission control of air pollutants for sintering and pelletizing of iron and steel industry comply with the requirements of this standard instead of those of "Integrated Emission Standards of Air Pollutants" (GB 16297-1996) and "Standard of Smoke and Dust Emission for Industrial Kiln and Furnace" (GB 9078-1996).
Provincial people's government may formulate local standard for the pollutant emission for the air pollutants not specified in this standard; and it may also formulate local standards for the pollutants emission stricter than this standard.
This national standard was formulated by the Department of Science, Technology and Standards of Ministry of Environmental Protection.
Chief drafting organizations of this standard: Design & Research Institute of Anshan Iron and Steel Group Corporation and Environmental Standards Institute of Ministry of Environmental Protection.
This standard was approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection on June 15, 2012.
This standard was implemented on October 1, 2012.
Ministry of Environmental Protection is responsible for the explanation of this standard.

3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions are applicable to this standard.
3.1 Sintering
It refers to the process that flux and solid fuel are mixed in the required proportion to raw materials containing iron, such as iron powder ore, and pelletized by adding water, and then horizontally laid on the trolley of sintering machine, and the fuel is burned after ignition and air draft, and some of the sintering materials are fused and form blocks.
3.2 Pelletizing
It refers to the process that after raw materials (such as iron ore concentrate) and adequate amount of bentonite are uniformly mixed, pellets are produced by pelletizer, and then the pellets are oxidized and consolidated after high temperature roasting.
3.3 Existing enterprises
It refers to the sintering and pelletizing production enterprises or production facilities which had put into production or whose environmental impact assessment statements have been approved before the implementation date of this standard.
