چکیده
This article is based on a presentation given at A&WMA’s 94 Annual Conference & Exhibition in June in Orlando, FL. It describes a comprehensive multisite test program to demonstrate mercury control at four full-scale power plants. Tests results from three of these sites will be presented for the first time at A&WMA’s Specialty Conference on Mercury, “Mercury Emissions: Fate, Effects, and Control,” which will be held at the Arlington Heights Sheraton in Chicago, IL, August 21–23, 2001. For more details on the conference, see p 33.

Full-scale evaluation of mercury control with sorbent injection and COHPAC at Alabama Power E.C. Gaston.
The overall objective of this project was to determine the cost and impacts of Hg control using sorbent injection into a Compact Hybrid Particulate Collector (COHPAC) at Alabama Power's Gaston Unit 3. This test is part of a program funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to obtain the necessary information to assess the costs of controlling Hg from...
متن کاملA Review of DOE/NETL’s Mercury Control Technology R&D Program for Coal-Fired Power Plants
Mercury exists in trace amounts in coal. In the United States, coal-fired power plants emit about 48 tons of mercury and are the largest point source of emissions. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined the need to control mercury emissions from power plants. In addition, several legislative proposals have been introduced in the 108 Congress to reduce mercury emissions from the...
متن کاملControl of mercury emissions from coal-fired electric utility boilers.
Introduction During combustion, the mercury (Hg) in coal is volatilized and converted to elemental mercury (Hg) vapor in the high temperature regions of coal-fired boilers. As the flue gas is cooled, a series of complex reactions begin to convert Hg to ionic mercury (Hg) compounds and/or Hg compounds (Hgp) that are in a solid-phase at flue gas cleaning temperatures or Hg that is adsorbed onto t...
