Abstract: Electrolytic manganese industry is that with high resources and energy consumption, heavy pollution, and low profit. As electrolytic manganese enterprises are developing quickly, they also generate serious environmental pollution and ecological problems, and thus the sustainability of the industry is an important issue to be solved. In view of the serious pollution of wastewater, waste gas and solid waste from the electrolytic manganese enterprises, the low level of pollution prevention and control level and the lack of the pollution prevention and control technologies, the pollution emission characteristics, the pollution sources and the advantage and disadvantage of the pollution prevention and control technologies were analyzed, so as to point out the necessity and impendency of implementing the best available technologies (BATs) of pollution prevention and control in electrolytic manganese industry. Combined with the implications and purposes of BATs in electrolytic manganese industry, the recommendations to implement the pollution prevention and control BATs were put forward from view points of national, industrial, technological and managerial levels.
