Glencore aims to reduce Zambia sulphur emissions

Glencore aims to reduce Zambia sulphur emissions
Saturday, 26 Nov 2011

Reuters reported that Zambia's Mopani Copper Mines owned by Glencore International Plc expects to complete work to capture sulphur dioxide emissions at its Mufulira smelter by 2013.

Mopani said that this is 18 months ahead of the Zambian government's target of 2015. On completion of the final phase of the project around 97% of all sulphur dioxide emissions at Mufulira would be captured.

The company said that the final phase of the work already underway is to install gas capturing equipment and a second acid plant to recycle captured sulphur dioxide as sulphuric acid.

It said that the new equipment is being installed as each phase of the plant is completed and this has enabled operations to continue without any shutdown.
