Global emission of mercury to air 全球大气汞排放 (approximate, schematic illustration 估值;简图)
Mercury emissions in Europe 欧洲汞排放 (EU-27, 1990-2008, from EEA, 2010) (欧盟27国,1990-2008年,欧盟环保署2010年数据)
Mercury emissions in Europe – electricity and heating 欧洲汞排放-电力和供暖 (EU-27, 1990-2008, from EEA, 2010) (欧盟27国,1990-2008年,欧盟环保署2010年数据)
Mercury emissions in Europe – metals production 欧洲汞排放-金属生产 (EU-27, 1990-2008, from EEA, 2010) (欧盟27国,1990-2008年,欧盟环保署2010年数据)
Mercury emissions in Europe – chemical industry, incl Mercury emissions in Europe – chemical industry, incl. chlor-alkali 欧洲汞排放-化工,包括氯碱 (EU-27, 1990-2008, from EEA, 2010) (欧盟27国,1990-2008年,欧盟环保署2010年数据)
Drivers for reductions in Europe Technologies Policies and legislation Public awareness
Drivers for reductions in Europe Coal fired power plants and boilers: Close down old power plants and boilers Increasingly advanced SO2, PM and NOX control Increasing energy efficiency No specific mercury reducing technology! All co-benefits of other measures Mercury emissions in Europe – electricity and heating 欧洲汞排放-电力和供暖 (EU-27, 1990-2008, from EEA, 2010) (欧盟27国,1990-2008年,欧盟环保署2010年数据)
Drivers for reductions in Europe Metals smelting: Largest reduction before 1990! Development of technologies for mercury control since 1970s, eg in Zn industry: Norzink-Boliden process Outokumpu/Outotec process Increasing environmental awareness Specific mercury reducing technology! Very efficient reductions Cost effective! Mercury emissions in Europe – metals production 欧洲汞排放-金属生产 (EU-27, 1990-2008, from EEA, 2010) (欧盟27国,1990-2008年,欧盟环保署2010年数据)
Drivers for reductions in Europe Chemical industry: Phase out Hg electrodes in chlor-alkali production Reduced Hg in products, strict regulations Batteries Medical equipment Increased recycling Increased environmental awareness Mercury emissions in Europe – chemical industry, incl. chlor-alkali 欧洲汞排放-化工,包括氯碱 (EU-27, 1990-2008, from EEA, 2010) (欧盟27国,1990-2008年,欧盟环保署2010年数据)
