Original wording
The publisher lets each reader see 12 of this document’s clauses a day when signed in, or 5 without signing in.
This is the publisher’s condition for Klar Cite showing its words; the limits, the citation and everything else on this page are free to read. Showing the wording counts one clause.

The document’s own listing
Sulphate process: emissions of dust to air ≤ 0,40 kg/t TiO2 pigment; emissions of SO2 to air ≤ 4,5 kg/t TiO2 pigment; emissions of SO4 2- to water ≤ 300 kg SO4 2-/t TiO2 pigment Chloride process: emissions of dust to air ≤ 0,66 kg/t TiO2 pigment; emissions of HCl to air ≤ 0,70 kg/t TiO2 pigment; emissions of Cl- to water ≤ 103 kg Cl-/t TiO2 pigment when ore used is > 95 % TiO2 content, ≤ 179 kg Cl-/t TiO2 pigment when ore used is 90-95 % TiO2 content, ≤ 329 kg Cl-/t TiO2 pigment when ore used is < 90 % TiO2 content Both processes: low dust working environment to be demonstrated

Klar Cite’s note
The chloride limit to water depends on the TiO2 content of the ore used (footnotes 2-4); footnote 1 names the point sources counted for emissions to air.
