The thief process for mercury removal from flue gas.
The Thief Process is a cost-effective variation to activated carbon injection (ACI) for removal of mercury from flue gas. In this scheme, partially combusted coal from the furnace of a pulverized coal power generation plant is extracted by a lance and then re-injected into the ductwork downstream of the air preheater. Recent results on a 500-lb/h pilot-scale combustion facility show similar rem...
متن کاملPoultry manure as raw material for mercury adsorbents in gas applications
The quantity of poultry manure generated each year is large, and technologies that take advantage of the material should be explored. At the same time, increased emphasis on the reduction of mercury emissions from coal-fired electric power plants has resulted in environmental regulations that may, in the future, require application of activated carbons as mercury sorbents. The sorbents could be...
متن کاملMechanisms of Mercury Capture and Breakthrough on Activated Carbon Sorbents
An extensive series of studies was performed at the Energy & Environmental Research Center with mercury (Hgo) sorbents in a thin bed using combinations of various flue gas constituents. This work determined that all the sorbents exhibited breakthrough in about I hour in the full flue gas mixture, and the mercury emitted after breakthrough is an oxidized mercury species. Trapping of the oxidized...
متن کاملPredicting the impact of SO3 on mercury removal by carbon sorbents
This paper introduces a combined homogeneous and heterogeneous SO3 production mechanism to quantify the interference of SO3 on the capture of Hg by unburned carbon (UBC) and activated carbon sorbents in flue gas from coal-fired power plants. This mechanism was validated against measurements at different locations along the gas cleaning systems at fourteen power plants representing the entire ra...
متن کاملEvaluation and Comparison of Novel, Low-cost Sorbents for Mercury Control
The injection of sorbents upstream of a particulate control device is one of the most promising methods for controlling mercury emissions from coal-fired utility boilers with electrostatic precipitators and fabric filters. Studies carried out at the bench-, pilot-, and fullscale have shown that a wide variety of factors may influence the mercury removal effectiveness. These factors include merc...
