Abstract:Mercury is a heavy metal mainly controlled by international conventions, the mining of its primary minerals has been banned. However, mercury and its compounds play an important role in chemical industry, military industry and other fields. The non-ferrous metallurgical industry is one of the main sources of mercury emissions in China, which faces huge pressure to reduce mercury pollution emissions. Converting mercury pollutants into mercury resources can not only minimize the harm of mercury pollutants, but also maximize the use of associated mercury pollutants to ensure the security of national mercury resources and the sustainable development of mercury-related industry. In this paper, combined with our team""s latest research results in the control and resource recovery of high-concentration mercury pollutants in the "high-temperature, high-sulfur" flue gas of non-ferrous metallurgy, the current status and research progress of mercury pollution emission control and resource recovery technologies in the non-ferrous metallurgical industry at home and abroad were comprehensively summarized, aiming to provide reference and guidance for the green development of the non-ferrous metallurgical industry and the economic recycling of mercury resources.
