The Australian alumina industry contributes more than $5.4 billion export income annually. It is also a major driver of the rural economy with all but one of Australia's seven alumina refineries located in rural areas. In response to the industry's attempts to reduce the environmental impact of its processes, this project will conduct basic strategic research into the interaction between mercury vapour and gold surfaces at the nano-level. Our principal aim is to develop mercury sensor technology suited to alumina refineries. This innovative technology will be a significant breakthrough in the control of mercury emissions and have many other applications.

澳大利亚氧化铝行业每年贡献超过54亿澳元的出口收入。 它也是农村经济的主要推动力，澳大利亚七家氧化铝精炼厂除一家外均位于农村地区。为了响应该行业减少其工艺对环境影响的努力，该项目将对纳米级汞蒸气和金表面之间的相互作用进行基础战略研究。 我们的主要目标是开发适合氧化铝精炼厂的汞传感器技术。这项创新技术将成为控制汞排放的重大突破，并具有许多其他应用。
