Characteristic of mercury on the surface of ash originating from electrostatic precipitators of lignite and bituminous coal-fired power plants

Novel catalytic process for flue gas conditioning in electrostatic precipitators of coal-fired power plants.

One of the most important environmental protection problems for coal-fired power plants is prevention of atmospheric pollution of flying ash. The ash particles are typically removed from flue gases by means of electrostatic precipitators, for which the efficiency may be significantly increased by lowering the resistance of fly ash, which may be achieved by controlled addition of microamounts of...

Reduction of mercury emissions from coal fired power plants

Economic comparison of pulsed electrostatic precipitators and fabric filters in coal-fired utility plants

Electrostatic precipitators (ESP) and fabric filters (FF) are the main air pollution control equipment utilized to clean dust laden fumes from utility boilers. The choice among these systems depends on specific site conditions such as dust characteristics, required efficiency, gas flowrate and temperature. ESP are generally characterized by higher capital investments and lower operating charges...
