L2-9023 — Final report
1.
Hg and environmental technologies in the EU context

The PI presented the need for intesectorial and interdisciplinary networking in the development of environmental technologies for the reduction of Hg emission from industrial sources. Optimization of resources available in infrastructure center sat JRC and national level is needed.

2.
Policy briefing on the latest updates related to mercury reduction technologies

The principal investigator was invited by the DG Environment to prepare a policy brief related to the latest research dedicated to the reduction of the emission of mercury. Integrated approach is needed to accurately assess cost effectiveness of possible choices.

3.
Standardisation of the methodology for wet deposition of Hg

A new standard method was developed for CEN for the determination of mercury deposition in clean and contaminated environments. This is the basis for the new EU standard method prepared by the WG 25.

4.
Mercury species and the mass balance in the cement plant

Cement plant of the Salonit Anhovo was selected to study mercury behavior and partitioning in the process of cement clinker production and to establish mass balance model. The study suggests some potentials for the improvement of mercury emissions control and reduction incemnet production facilities.

5.
Mercury and the EU legislation

EU mercury strategy primarily intends to reduce the emission of mercury from stationary point sources. A number of activities are envisaged. The PI was actively involved in this process sat the EU level, and presented the work at the MC-4 meeting in Japan. The meeting resulted in the creation of new ideas for the UNEP partnership programme on mercury reduction from cement production sector.
