Codeofchina.com is in charge of this English translation. In case of any doubt about the English translation, the Chinese original shall be considered authoritative. This standard is formulated with a view to implementing Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution, Marine Environment Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, and other laws and regulations, protecting environment, preventing pollution and promoting the production process and pollution control technology of inorganic chemical industry. This standard specifies the requirements for emission limits, monitoring, and supervision of water and air pollutants of inorganic chemical industry enterprises. The odor pollutants discharged and ambient noise made by inorganic chemical industry enterprises are subject to the corresponding national pollutant emission standards, and the identification, treatment and disposal of the solid wastes generated are subject to the national solid waste pollution control standards. The auxiliary power boiler shall comply with Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for Boilers or Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for Thermal Power Plants. All pollutants emission concentrations in this standard refer to mass concentration. This standard is hereby issued for the first time. New facility, from July 1, 2015, and existing facility, from July 1, 2017, will implement this standard, and the control of water and air pollutants emitted by them is subject to this standard, instead of those specified in GB 8978-1996 Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard, GB 16297-1996 Integrated Emission Standards of Air Pollutants, and GB 9078-1996 Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for Industrial Kiln and Furnace. Upon approval of provincial people's government, all regions may also implement this standard in advance according to the need of local environmental protection and economic and technical conditions. For the case that special emission standards, e.g., GB 26132-2010 Emission Standard of Pollutants for Sulfuric Acid Industry, have been published in the inorganic chemical industry, the requirements of special emission standards, instead of this standard, shall apply to applicable object. This standard specifies the basic requirements for pollutant emission control of inorganic chemical industry enterprises. Local provincial people's government may formulate local pollutant emission standards for the items not specified in this standard; and it may also formulate local pollutant emission standards stricter than this standard for the items specified in this standard. When the requirements of environmental impact assessment documents or pollution emission permit are stricter than those in this standard or local standards, the approved environmental impact assessment documents or pollution emission permit shall prevail. This standard was formulated under organization of the Department of Science, Technology and Standards of the Ministry of Environmental Protection. This standard was approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection on April 3, 2015. This standard was implemented from July 1, 2015. The Ministry of Environmental Protection is in charge of interpreting this standard. Emission Standards of Pollutants for Inorganic Chemical Industry 1 Application Scope This standard specifies the requirements for emission limits, monitoring, supervision and management of water and air pollutants emitted by industrial enterprises in regard to inorganic acids, alkalis, salts, oxides, hydroxides, peroxides, and elementary substances. This standard is applicable to emission management of water and air pollutants emitted by industrial enterprises in regard to inorganic acids, alkalis, salts, oxides, hydroxides, peroxides, and elementary substances, and to environmental impact assessment, environment protection facility design, and post-completion environmental protection acceptance of construction projects of the above industrial enterprises, as well as to emission management of water and air pollutants after being put into operation. This standard does not apply to emission management of water and air pollutants emitted from industries of inorganic chemical products such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, caustic soda, sodium carbonate, calcium carbide, inorganic phosphorus, inorganic coatings and pigments, phosphate fertilizer, nitrogen and potassium fertilizer, potassium hydroxide, etc., and of non-ferrous metals. This standard is applicable to the legal pollutant emission behaviors. The site selection of new pollution sources and the management of existing pollution sources within special protected zone are in accordance with Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution, Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, Marine Environment Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention of Environmental Pollution Caused by Solid Waste, Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Radioactive Pollution, Law of the People's Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment, etc. The emission control requirements of water pollutants specified in this standard are applicable to the behaviors of the enterprises discharging water pollutants, directly or indirectly, out of their legal boundaries. 2 Normative References For the purpose of this standard, the following documents or their provisions are quoted.
