TL;DR: The results of the study show that the identification of mercury species by the method of thermal desorption is possible and represents a significant step forward in direct mercury analysis in solid samples.

TL;DR: Lead concentration and isotopic composition for 59 coal samples representing major coal deposits worldwide suggest that the PbIC in coals is strongly influenced by the depositional coal forming environment, and supports the notion that "old Pb pollution" from leaded gasoline reemitted into the atmosphere or long-range transport (i.e., from China to the western U.S.) is important.

TL;DR: In this article, the abatement capacity of trace inorganic elements was studied in a large Pulverized Coal Combustion (PCC) power plant equipped with a wet limestone Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) system.

TL;DR: In this paper, two commercial activated carbons (Norit RBHG3 and Norit RB3) and a carbon prepared via activation of pyrolysed coal (CA) were tested in simulated coal combustion and gasification atmospheres in a laboratory scale reactor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the scope of a mercury temperature programmed desorption (HgTPD) technique for identifying mercury species in solids and concluded that the main mechanism of mercury retention will be the interaction of mercury with organic matter, or the interaction with sulfur to form HgS.
