“…The mass-flow approaches are also used in national/regional emission inventories, such as the Abacas-EI-Hg in China (Wu et al, 2016), and the emission inventories for Thailand and Korea (Wongsoonthornchai et al, 2016;Sung et al, 2018).…”

Abstract. The Multi-Compartment Hg (mercury) Modeling and Analysis Project (MCHgMAP) is an international multi-model research initiative intended to simulate and analyze the geospatial distributions and temporal trends of environmental Hg to inform the effectiveness evaluations of two multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs): the Minamata Convention on Mercury (MC) and Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP). This MCHgMAP overview paper presents its science objectives, background and rationale, experimental design (multi-model ensemble (MME) architecture, inputs and evaluation data, simulations and reporting framework), and methodologies for the evaluation and analysis of simulated environmental Hg levels. The primary goals of the project are to facilitate detection and attribution of recent (observed) and future (projected) spatial patterns and temporal trends of global environmental Hg levels, and identification of key knowledge gaps in Hg science and modeling to improve future effectiveness evaluation cycles of the MEAs. The current advances and challenges of Hg models, emission inventories, and observational data are examined, and an optimized multi-model experimental design is introduced for addressing the key policy questions of the MEAs. A common set of emissions, environmental conditions, and observation datasets are proposed (where possible) to enhance the MME comparability. A novel harmonized simulation approach between atmospheric, land, oceanic and multi-media models is developed to account for the short- and long-term changes in secondary Hg exchanges and to achieve mechanistic consistency of Hg levels across environmental matrices. A comprehensive set of model experiments is developed and prioritized to ensure a systematic analysis and participation of a variety of models from the scientific community.

“…Especially for activated carbon, its highly e cient adsorption capacity can help CFPPs improve their mercury removal e ciency by 10% (Sung et al, 2018), and has been widely used. However, due to its high price, more research turned to more economical non-carbon-based adsorbents.…”

Coal-red power plants (CFPPs) are one of the most signi cant sources of mercury emissions certi ed by the Minamata Convention, which has attracted much attention in recent years. In this study, we used the Web of Science (WOS) and CiteSpace to analyze the knowledge structure of this eld from 2000 to 2022 and then reviewed it systematically. The eld of mercury emissions from coal-red power plants has developed steadily. The research hotspots can be divided into three categories: 1) emission characterization research focused on speciation changes and emission calculations; 2) emission control research focused on control technologies; 3) environmental impact research focused on environmental pollution and health risk. In conclusion, using an oxygen-rich atmosphere for combustion and installing high-e ciency air pollution control devices (APCDs) helped to reduce the formation of Hg 0 . The average mercury removal rates of APCDs and modi ed adsorbents after ultra-low emission retro t were distributed in the range of 82-93% and 41-100%, respectively. The risk level of mercury in combustion by-products was highest in desulfurization sludge (RAC>10%) and followed by y ash(10

“…Understanding the influence of future environmental policies accurately can enlighten policymakers to implement appropriate mitigation policies (Chao et al, 2021;Ding et al, 2021;Tong et al, 2021). However, the future emission reduction pathways of HMs are mainly designed on the basis of the outdated national and provincial emission inventories of a few HMs (Kwon et al, 2018;Navratil et al, 2016;Sunderland and Selin, 2013;Sung et al, 2018). They ignore the integration of the latest policies and the differences in the coal washing rate, APCDs and combustion technologies among current CFPPs.…”
