ALKALI, &C. WORKS REGULATION ACT 1906 - SECT 31

Short title.

31. This Act may be cited as the Alkali, &c. Works Regulation Act, 1906....

(a)hydrochloric acid works, or works (not being alkali works as defined in
section 27(1) of the Alkali Act) where hydrogen chloride is evolved either
during the preparation of liquid hydrochloric acid or for use in any
manufacturing process or as the result of the use of chlorides in a chemical
process;

(b)tin plate flux works, that is to say, works in which any residue or flux
from tin plate works is calcined for the utilisation of such residue or flux,
and in which hydrogen chloride is evolved; and

(c)salt works, that is to say, works (not being works in which salt is
produced by refining rock salt otherwise than by the dissolution of rock salt
at the place of deposit) in which the extraction of salt from brine is carried
on, and in which hydrogen chloride is evolved.

(a)any product of the refining of crude shale oil is treated so as to cause
the evolution of gases containing any sulphur compound; or

(b)any such product as aforesaid is used in any subsequent chemical
manufacturing process.

(a)any wash oil used for the scrubbing of coal gas is distilled; or

(b)any crude benzol is distilled.

clinker; or

(b)cement clinker is handled and ground; or

(c)cement is packed.

(a)by the application of heat, lead is extracted from any material containing
lead or its compounds; or

(b)compounds of lead are manufactured from metallic lead or its compounds by
dry processes which give rise to dust or fume.

(a)iron or ferro-alloys are produced in a blast furnace; or

(b)raw materials for use in blast furnaces are handled or prepared; or

(c)iron ores for use in blast furnaces are calcined or sintered; or

(d)iron or steel is melted in cupolas employing a heated air blast, or in
electric arc furnaces; or

(e)steel is produced, melted or refined in Bessemer, Tropenas, open hearth or
electric arc furnaces; or

(f)oxygen or air enriched with oxygen is used for the refining of iron or for
the production, shaping or finishing of steel; or

(g)ferro-alloys are made by processes giving rise to fume.

(a)by the application of heat

(i)copper is extracted from any ore or concentrate or from any material
containing copper or its compounds; or

(ii)molten copper is refined; or

<(iii)copper or copper alloy swarf is degreased; or


<(iv)copper alloys are recovered from scrap fabricated metal, swarf or residues by processes designed to reduce the zinc content; or


(b)copper or copper alloy is melted and cast in moulds the internal surfaces
of which have been coated with grease-bound or oil-bound dressings:

f3f1xtlf40lf4001aluminium swarf is degreased by the application of heat; or

(b)aluminium or aluminium alloys are recovered from aluminium or aluminium
alloy scrap fabricated metal, swarf, skimmings, drosses or other residues by
melting but not including works in which aluminium or aluminium alloys are
separate from ferrous metals by liquidation in sloping hearth furnaces; or

(c)aluminium is recovered from slag; or

(d)molten aluminium or aluminium alloys are treated by any process involving
the evolution of chlorine or its compounds; or

(e)aluminium is extracted from any material containing aluminium by a process
evolving any noxious or offensive gases; or

(f)oxide of aluminium is extracted from any ore; or

(g)materials used in the above processes or the products thereof are treated
or handled by methods which cause noxious or offensive gases to be evolved.

(a)solid or liquid fuel is burned to raise steam for the generation of
electricity for distribution to the general public or for purposes of public
transport; or

(b)boilers having an aggregate maximum continuous rating of not less than
450,000lb. of steam per hour and normally fired by solid or liquid fuel are
used to produce steam for the generation of electricity for purposes other
than those referred to in sub-paragraph (a); or

(c)liquid fuel is burned in an internal combustion engine (other than a
compression ignition engine burning fuel with a sulphur content not exceeding
that specified for fuel within Class A2 referred to in British Standard 2869:
1970, and tested in accordance with British Standard 4384: 1969) for the
generation of electricity for distribution to the general public.

(a)coal, oil or mixtures of coal or oil with other carbonaceous materials or
products of petroleum refining or natural gas or methane from coal mines or
gas derived from fermentation of carbonaceous materials, are handled or
prepared for carbonisation or gasification or reforming and in which these
materials are subsequently carbonised or gasified or reformed; or

(b)water gas is produced or purified; or

(c)coke or semi-coke is produced and quenched, cut, crushed or graded; or

(d)gases derived from any process referred to in sub-paragraph (a) are
subjected to purification processes.

(a)pottery products (including domestic earthenware and china, sanitary ware,
electrical porcelain, glazed tiles and teapots) are made in intermittent kilns
fired by coal or oil; or

(b)heavy clay or refractory goods are fired

(i)by coal or oil in intermittent kilns; or

(ii) by coal or oil in continuous grate-fired kilns, not being tunnel kilns;
or

<(iii)in any kiln in which a reducing atmosphere is essential; or


(c)salt glazing of any earthenware or clay material is carried on.

(a)either concentrated solutions of caustic soda or fused caustic soda are
produced in vessels heated by coal; or
