The Iron and Steel Industry has been considered as one of the most important industrial sectors, which has a large share in India’s GDP and the overall development. The sector is obtaining all essential ingredients needed for dynamic growth in India. The Indian Government’s National Steel Policy 2017 aims to increase the per capita steel consumption to 160 kilograms by 2030-31. Sponge iron industries study shows continuous improvement in technologies for better precautionary measures. This study depicts how the kiln size plays a pivotal role in emission control by reduction of particulate matter of existing sponge iron plants without any change in operational technology. The reduction proposed in this study can be achieved by the modification of existing ESP’s. The particulate matter level from various sponge iron plants situated at Siltara and Urla industrial area can be reduced significantly in Raipur district for safe and healthy environment. AIM: A Comparative Study of Particulate Matter Emission Reduction From Different Size of Operational Sponge Iron Kilns at Raipur
