“…Three mountains are in proximity to coal-fired power plants. 29 Mt Bihak and Mt Hambaek are located on the east coast and are situated <20 km away from steel manufacturing plants and cement clinker production facilities. Mt Jiri is located inland and is a relatively remote site, given that anthropogenic Hg emission sources are situated >50 km away from this region.…”

“…Anthropogenic mercury emission facility means that mercury emits from the process, although mercury was not used in the raw material. Among the facilities falling under Annex D, the main emission facilities are coal-fired power plants, primary smelting facilities for non-ferrous metals, cement clinker production facilities, and waste incineration facilities [4]. In the case of mercury compounds emitted from anthropogenic emission sources, there is elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) and oxidized mercury (Hg 2+ ) in the atmosphere.…”

In this study, the oxidation characteristics of elemental mercury were assessed based on the input gas environment, temperature, and particle size distribution of the steel slag. Experiments were performed at room temperature, 100 °C and 200 °C, under air and simulated gas environments. The oxidation reaction of elemental mercury was conducted using steel slag samples of 1 mm, 2.36 mm, and 4.75 mm at various conditions. From the basic characteristic analysis of the steel slag, it was found that the steel slag exhibits a similar composition to that of fly ash, and it can be utilized as an oxidizing agent. Results show that regardless of the temperature and the particle size distribution of steel slag, the oxidation reaction of elemental mercury rarely occurred in the air environment. However, in the case of the HCl gas environment, it was observed that the smaller the steel slag particle size, the stronger the oxidation reaction. It is believed that the oxidation efficiency of the steel slag increased as the contact area between the gas and particles increased. The oxidation reactivity was nearly two times higher in the temperature range of 100 °C to 200 °C than it was at room temperature. It is advised that further research be undertaken in order to determine the precise temperature range at which the oxidation reaction occurs.
