Journal ArticleDOI
A review on the utilization of fly ash
TL;DR: In this article, the utilization of fly ash in construction, as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of organic compounds, flue gas and metals, light weight aggregate, mine back fill, road sub-base, and zeolite synthesis is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of catalysts for oxidation of mercury in flue gas
Albert A. Presto,Evan J. Granite +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that future research in this area should focus on determining the reaction mechanism and kinetics and searching for more cost-effective catalyst and support materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Status of Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) systems from coal-fired power plants: Overview of the physic-chemical control processes of wet limestone FGDs
TL;DR: In this paper, a general review of the FGD technologies used to abate sulphur emissions from coal-fired power plants, and exposes the major physic-chemical processes occurring during wet limestone FGD is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury emission and speciation of coal-fired power plants in China
Shuxiao Wang,Lei Zhang,Guanghui Li,Ye Wu,Jiming Hao,Nicola Pirrone,Francesca Sprovieri,Maria Pia Ancora +7 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
CeO2-TiO2 catalysts for catalytic oxidation of elemental mercury in low-rank coal combustion flue gas.
TL;DR: Hg(0) oxidation over CeTi catalysts was proposed to follow the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism whereby reactive species from adsorbed flue gas components react with adjacently adsorption and subsequent oxidation.

Trace Elements in Coal
TL;DR: In this article, the origins of trace elements in coal and the mode of occurrence of trace element in coal were investigated. But the results were limited to trace element detection in coal.
