Abstract

When designing and building new mercury-based chlorine plants special attention must be given to features which will help reduce mercury pollution of the environment. The article describes a new Swedish chlorine plant including mercury emission limits set by the authorities, general principles and some specific details in the plant design to minimize mercury losses and practical experience after nearly one year of operations.
