Abstract

Mercury emission from fluidized bed combustion (FBC) systems fired with high-chlorine coals was investigated using a thermogravimetric analyzer. Higher concentrations of ionic mercury was obtained in utility flue gas when the combustion coal had a high chloride contents. It is found that the oxidation of elemental mercury inside a FBC systems reduces total mercury emissions with high efficiency and low cost while maintaining low emissions of other pollutants.
