A new technology for monitoring airborne heavy metals on aerosols and particulates based on spark-induced breakdown spectroscopy (SIBS) was evaluated at a joint U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/U.S. Department of Energy test at the rotary kiln incinerator simulator (RKIS) facility at EPA/Research Triangle Park, NC, in September 1997. The instrument was configured to measure lead and c...

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. ...

The growth and on-site bioremediation potential of an isolated thermal- and CO₂-tolerant mutant strain, Chlorella sp. MTF-7, were investigated. The Chlorella sp. MTF-7 cultures were directly aerated with the flue gas generated from coke oven of a steel plant. The biomass concentration, growth rate and lipid content of Chlorella sp. MTF-7 cultured in an outdoor 50-L photobioreactor for 6 days wa...

At present, the exhaust gas temperature of coal-fired power plants is 125-150℃, and emission high-temperature flue causes loss excess heat wastes. For this kind phenomenon, waste recovery system researched designed, combined with combination a low-temperature economizer in plant Dezhou. The heater, through heater system, reduces coal consumption for generation, emissions, while reducing dust sp...

An alyses of the components of municipal refuse were assembled, from which an average· composite analysis was calculated. The analyses of the flue and stack gases from 18 municipal incin erators were also tabu­ lated and plotted. A marked difference was n oted be­ tween the analyses of the stack gases and those to be expected from the combustion of the composite refuse. Much of the difference c...
