• Improve emission control,
• Provide suitable working conditions to achieve a minimization of blood lead
concentration,
• Achieve a more efficient refining process that could deal with the increasing
complexity of materials indicating an expansion of refining capacities,
• Optimize the overall performance of the plant (logistic, plant layout, handling of
intermediates) (Fig. 2).
