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

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.

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

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.

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.
