摘要: The percentage of mercury that is removed in currently used air pollution control devices (APCDs) depends on the speciation flue gas exhausting from coal combustor. Bench-scale measurements were carried out combustion different types a drop-tube furnace set-up to better understand formation process three species, i.e. Hg0, Hg2+ and Hgp, gaseous phase fine particles. It was observed due chemical reaction kinetics limitations, higher concentrations lead lower proportions. concentration chlorine has opposite effect, not as significantly though. With increasing, proportion increases. Combusting finer sized powders results more Hg2+. Mineral composition feed particle size great impact formation. Increased Al formation, while Fe increases larger coexistence Si can enhance coagulation process. This also enhanced at rates, when sizes are smaller. Results oxy-coal conventional compared.
