Advantages and disadvantages of industrial atmospheric emissions “primary” valorization, understood as implemented in situ and without any previous treatment of the emissions, are compared with those of other type of valorization, called here as “secondary” valorization, as made after some post-treatment of the emissions or, simply, to categorize with a different name that those classified as primary, verifying in this second categorization some alteration in the original emissions nature
In a previous article [1], those in it respectively called as emission primary valorization (EPV) and emission secondary valorization (ESV) have been defined.
These terms were arising after the analysis of possible environmentally coupled industrial plants (EPIC; PIMA, Plantas Industriales Medioambientalmente Acopladas, as their Spanish acronym) [2]; concept in which some of the plants could use the waste (as emissions, liquid or solid wastes) generated from other so coupled plant.
In the present paper, advantages and disadvantages that could exhibit EPV versus ESV are compared, beginning with a preliminary global analysis after which an application detail for power plants is developed.
