Development of silica/vanadia/titania catalysts for removal of elemental mercury from coal-combustion flue gas.

SiO2/V2O5/TiO2 catalysts were synthesized for removing elemental mercury (Hg0) from simulated coal-combustion flue gas. Experiments were carried out in fixed-bed reactors using both pellet and powder catalysts. In contrast to the SiO2-TiO2 composites developed in previous studies, the V2O5 based catalysts do not need ultraviolet light activation and have higher Hg0 oxidation efficiencies. For H...

Energy Savings Potential through Waste Heat Recovery from Flue Gas for Post Combustion Co2 Capture

Flue gas from a plant using fossil fuels contains CO2. Thus power/process plants using fossil fuels contribute to climate change if CO2 in flue gas is not captured. The process of CO2 capture from flue gas is called „postcombustion‟ CO2 capture. Existing plants may be retrofitted with this process to minimize CO2 emission. Amine solutions are mostly used for this process to scrub the flue gas. ...

Flue Gas Conditioning

Flue gas conditioning (FGC) systems offer an effective option for control of Particulate Matter (PM) emissions and enhances the performance of the Electrostatic Precipitators (EPs) when using coal of different properties. The increasing environmental awareness and the mandate of the Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA) in various countries to thermal power stations using coal-fired boilers f...
