The Australian alumina and aluminium industries contribute over $11 billion export income annually. All refineries, except one, operate in rural areas and are the main economic drivers in these regions. In order to maintain the industry's commitment to reduce the environmental impact of its processes and remain economically sustainable, innovative technologies are required to monitor mercury emissions. The aim of this project is to develop robust sensors, for online monitoring of mercury vapours, that operate under challenging industrial environments. This project will also provide excellent training for young researchers in established international industrial research groups, thereby meeting skill shortages in the Australian resource sector.

澳大利亚氧化铝和铝业工业每年贡献超过110亿美元的出口收入。除一个炼油厂外，所有炼油厂均在农村地区运作，是这些地区的主要经济驱动因素。为了维持该行业对减少其流程的环境影响并保持经济可持续性的承诺，需要创新技术来监测汞排放。该项目的目的是开发可靠的传感器，用于在挑战性工业环境下运行的汞蒸气的在线监视。该项目还将为成熟的国际工业研究小组的年轻研究人员提供出色的培训，从而在澳大利亚资源领域遇到技能短缺。
