Study Of Mercury Transformation With Chlorinated Species Under Homogeneous And Heterogeneous Conditions, Bhargavi Busireddy Jan 2009

Study Of Mercury Transformation With Chlorinated Species Under Homogeneous And Heterogeneous Conditions, Bhargavi Busireddy

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Mercury (Hg) transformation under homogeneous (gas-phase oxidation reactions primarily involving chlorine species in flue gases) and heterogeneous (gas-surface oxidation reactions involving surface enhanced Hg oxidation in the presence of flue gases) environments were investigated. Gas phase experiments were performed in the presence of chlorine sources such as Cl2 and HCl. A large body of literature studies indicates that during combustion in coal-fired power plants coal mineral matter components play a major role in Hg transformation. Surface activity of these components with respect to Hg adsorption and overall Hg removal were evaluated using a laboratory-scale, fixed bed flow reactor where initial …
