As no clear BAT conclusions could be drawn for ong>theong> production of sodium sulphate, it was considered reasonable to remove ong>theong> six ‘Techniques to consider in ong>theong> determination of BAT’ from ong>theong> BAT Reference Document on LVIC-S, and to move ong>theong> whole section on sodium sulphate from ong>theong> BREF on LVIC-S to this “ong>Additionalong> ong>Informationong> ong>submittedong> ong>duringong> ong>theong> ong>informationong> ong>exchangeong> on Large Volume Inorganic Chemicals – Solid and Oong>theong>rs Industry” document, which is associated with and closely related to ong>theong> BREF on LVIC-S. 30

treatment, etc. should be menti<strong>on</strong>ed [6, CEFIC, 2002].<br />

Zinc chloride is produced by <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> reacti<strong>on</strong> of a hydrochloric acid soluti<strong>on</strong> with zinc metal, zinc<br />
