 However, Hg emissions are still ocurring because two production sites still continue to use the amalgam process for the production of certain alcoholates not regulated by the BAT conclusions for Chlor-alkali production. Before 2018, these Hg-emissions were reported together with the Hg from Chlor-alkali production. But the OSPAR convention does not request the Hg emissions from alcoholate production to be reported, so CEFIC does no longer report these emissions to OSPAR. However, Hg emissions are still ocurring because two production sites still continue to use the amalgam process for the production of certain alcoholates not regulated by the BAT conclusions for Chlor-alkali production.
