In this paper, the effect of sodium humate (HA-Na) and seawater on absorption SO2 in flue gas was investigated. At same time, effects initial pH value concentration desulfurization were also evaluated. The experimental results showed that had ability to absorb SO2. dissolved can react with HCO3– CO32– plasma produce CO2, which prompt reaction. Besides, addition HA-Na improve performance increas...

Since there is no flue-gas desulfurization facility (FGD) in Australian Power Plants, the temperatures of flue gases from the plants range from 393–433 K which is much higher than the absorption temperatures in a typical post combustion CO2 capture (PCC) process. The additional cooling systems and equipments are required to cool flue gases. This adds to the cost, and water and energy consumptio...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) performed an Information Collection Request (ICR) in 1999 to gather additional information on the control and emission of mercury from coal-fired power plants. The ICR data indicates that a significant, but highly variable, amount of mercury removal can occur across a power plant’s conventional air pollution control (APC) equipment used for the cap...

Methods for removing mercury from flue gas have received increased attention because of recent limitations placed on mercury emissions from coal-fired utility boilers by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and various states. A promising method for mercury removal is catalytic oxidation of elemental mercury (Hg0) to oxidized mercury (Hg2+), followed by wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD). ...
