PVC industrial mercury pollution prevention targets

By calcium carbide process PVC (PVC) industries mercury pollution prevention task force and expert group meetings held in Beijing on March 4. Preliminary identified mercury pollution prevention targets this year, further strengthen its low mercury catalyst application, low mercury more than 4,000 tons of catalyst used, mercury catalyst 35% per cent, while increasing mercury-free catalyst research and development efforts.

According to describes, this year China oil and chemical industry Federation and China chlorine alkali industrial association will full organization carbide law PVC industry do mercury pollution control work, active promote low mercury touch vector of application of while, promotion efficient mercury recovery technology, coverage up 20% above; promote low mercury touch vector production and new technology recovery waste mercury touch vector integration model project construction, recovery waste mercury touch vector 4,000 tons above.

While, promote Ministry as soon as possible publishing low mercury touch vector products standard under, for 2015 full industry used low mercury touch vector do prepared; modified perfect and publishing carbide law PVC industry mercury pollution control planning under, guidance industry mercury pollution control; carried out mercury resources investigation, for Science reasonable uses mercury resources, and developed correct of development strategy lay based; organization related units do international mercury Convention negotiations countermeasures research, for negotiations provides technology support. Petrochemical Association said Zhou Zhuye, Vice President, mercury contamination of PVC by calcium carbide process discussed issues now on the table, indicating that industry self-regulation requirements for sustainable development, is a major advances. He of PVC by calcium carbide process industrial mercury pollution prevention recommendations. First is to further raise awareness. Now the awareness of mercury pollution, there is a great change, but to solve the problem of mercury pollution, requires industry-wide attention, support, propulsion. Analysis of industry the situation is quite serious. External environmental constraints on industry, aside, from the industry's self-regulation, in terms of sustainable development, to raise awareness for companies.

Secondly, solidarity, cooperation. Some enterprises, especially enterprises are actively working to advance mercury pollution prevention and control, but there are also part of the enterprise in the wait-and-see. Advance mercury pollution prevention is the industry event, is expected to force the industry into a unit, without xiaowo, I gu. At present, the industry must face when needed industry-wide cooperation, joint efforts, a breakthrough to address industry survival issues.

Week bamboo also stressed that to take scrap mercury recovery, taking advantage of the amount of mercury, achieving balance of mercury, it is for the industry for development one of the important means of space and time.
