Mercury emission and speciation of coal-fired power plants in China

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the mercury emissions and their behavior in six typical coal-fired power plants in China, using the Ontario Hydro Method (OHM) and showed that the flue gas was sampled simultaneously at inlet and outlet of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), electrostatic precipitators (ESP), and fluegas desulfurization (FGD) using the OHP.
