Help me please! I am in immediate need of documentation and information
regarding the emmissions of a salt kiln. The state deoartment of natural
resources is comming on friday to inspect the salt firing process to see if
it meets their air quality standards. Any technical info regarding
emmissions would be greatly appreciated. I have heard that the chlorine
emmitted during a firing is less than what an average back yard swimming
pool gives of in a day, but I need to be able to prove this. Thanks!

Randy,
If you had more time to work with and I had your snailmail address
I'd send you copies of these things. In Ceramic Review 157-1996 there
is an article titled: Something in the Air by Peter Meanly and William
Byers. It is fairly scientific and reports that a very small amount of
hydrochloric acid is produced. No other chlorine except NaCl was found
in the kiln emmissions. Wil Shynkaruk at Utah State University (and
sometimes member of this list) Has some very good data on this
subject. try to reach him at (" wilshyn"@cc.usu.edu).
Good Luck.....Joe the Potter

Randy. My friend, Sandra Johnstone, fired her back yard salt kiln for
years. It did no harm to the neighbors, her family, the trees near the
kiln, the paint on the house or cars. She just informed the neighbors
and the local fire department when she was going to fire so they did
not freak out when the kiln produced black smoke.
There was a definitive panel on salt and soda firing at the Las Vegas
NCECA. One of the panelists, Wil Shynkaruk, Ceramics Department, Utah
State University, Logan, reported on his research of emissions during
salt firing. He also wrote and article in '94 in Ceramics Art &
Perception. The NCECA Journal will contain his Vegas presentation.
Since you need infomation quickly, you might e-mail Wil at
I am certain other Clayarters will have suggestions also.
Good luck,
