Recently, Baosteel Co Ltd has committed to sulphur dioxide pollution reduction by building up desulphurizing system subsequently in No 1 and No 2 lines of electric power plant and No 3 sintering machine.

The desulphurizing systems are running in high efficiency to contribute to the continuous pollution reduction of sulphur dioxide. The total sulphur dioxide emission of the subordinate plants was 13252 tonnes last year which is 748 tonnes less than the planned value. The total emission in the 1st quarter of this year is 2701 tonnes which is 882 tons less than the planned value. It has made positive contribution to procure over 90% rate of air of fine quality within the plants of BaoSteel Co Ltd.
