(b)Melting, including making alloys, of non-ferrous metals, including recovered products, and the operation of non-ferrous metal foundries in an installation with a melting capacity exceeding—
(i)4 tonnes per day for lead or cadmium, or
(ii)20 tonnes per day for all other metals in aggregate.
(c)Producing, melting or recovering (whether by chemical means or by electrolysis or by the use of heat) cadmium or mercury or any alloy containing more than 0.05 per cent by weight of either of those metals or of both of those metals in aggregate,
