Abstract
Condensable particulate matter is the predominant contributor to the total particulate matter emissions of coal-fired power plants. In the studied ultralow-emission coal-fired power plant, the emission concentrations of condensable and filterable particulate matter in the stack were 1.6 mg/Nm3 and 7.9 mg/Nm3. The organic fraction in condensable particulate matter was mainly composed of alkanes, esters, and other complex organic compounds. The organic fraction comprised 54% of the total concentrations of condensable particulate matter tested at the stack. The organic fraction in condensable particulate matter might contribute significantly to the organic carbon in atmospheric PM2.5. SO42– accounted for the highest concentrations in the inorganic fraction of condensable particulate matter. Na and Ca were predominant metal elements in the inorganic fraction. The inorganic fraction of condensable particulate matter mainly contributed to the water-soluble ions in atmospheric PM2.5. The total particulate matter...

Non-Negligible Stack Emissions of Noncriteria Air Pollutants from Coal-Fired Power Plants in China: Condensable Particulate Matter and Sulfur Trioxide.

TL;DR: This study investigated the emission characteristics of condensable particulate matter (CPM) and sulfur trioxide (SO3) simultaneously through ammonia-based/limestone-based wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) from four typical coal-fired power plants by conducting field measurements to indicate that not all SO3 is included in CPM, and they co-exist in stack plume.
