    Study Notes

    Calculating Annual Quantity of Zinc Sulfate

    • The annual quantity of zinc sulfate handled is calculated by summing the quantity used, produced, and imported.

    Activated Sludge Treatment

    • The removal efficiency of the activated sludge treatment mentioned is not specified.

    Calculating Quantity Shipped in Products

    • The quantity shipped in products is calculated by multiplying the quantity of products shipped by the concentration of zinc sulfate in the products.

    Conversion Factor for Zinc Sulfate

    • The conversion factor from zinc sulfate (7 hydrate) to zinc represents the weight ratio of zinc to zinc sulfate (7 hydrate) in the calculation.

    Landfill Designation

    • The purpose of designating landfills as 'stable' or 'administrated' by the Law is to differentiate landfills based on their management and environmental impact.

    Reporting Exemption

    • Reporting is not required if waste is sold for recycling because it is considered a beneficial reuse.

    Process Flow Example

    • In the process flow example, the main destination of Zinc sulfate heptahydrate is the production of zinc oxide.

    Calculating Releases and Transfers

    • The purpose of calculating releases and transfers in typical processes is to quantify the environmental impact of the process.

    Calculating Transfers of Chemical Substances

    • The formula used to calculate the transfers of chemical substances contained in waste color and broke is not specified.

    Calculating Maximum Potential Releases

    • The step that involves calculating the maximum potential releases to the environment is the release estimation step.

    Calculation for Quantities Shipped in Products

    • Part of the calculation for quantities shipped in products includes the quantity of products shipped and the concentration of zinc sulfate in the products.

    PRTR

    • In the calculation method provided, 'PRTR' stands for Pollutant Release and Transfer Register.
