Temporal and spatial variation characteristics of atmospheric emissions of Cd, Cr, and Pb from coal in China
TL;DR: In this article, a multiple-year inventory of atmospheric emissions of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and lead (Pb) from coal burning in China has been established for the period 1980-2008 by using best available emission factors and annual activity data which are specified by different sub-categories of combustion facilities, coal types, and air pollution control devices.

Multivariate receptor models and robust geostatistics to estimate source apportionment of heavy metals in soils
TL;DR: Receptor models coupled with robust geostatistics could successfully estimate the source apportionment of heavy metals in soils and found that the corresponding APCS and PMF-factor showed similar spatial variability.

A Review of Key Hazardous Trace Elements in Chinese Coals: Abundance, Occurrence, Behavior during Coal Combustion and Their Environmental Impacts
TL;DR: In this paper, the average content of eight prime environmentally concerning trace elements (Hg, As, Se, Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, and Sb) in Chinese coals is calculated with the available field-test data by using mathematical statistical methods including bootstrap simulation.

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.

Trace elements in coal and their behaviour during combustion in a large power station
TL;DR: In this article, the role of anhydrite (CaSO4) in the sorption of trace elements such as As, B, Ge, Se, Pb, Mo, Zn and Tl from flue gas and in the reduction of emissions of potentially toxic elements was investigated.

Environmental aspects of trace elements in coal
Dalway J. Swaine,Fari Goodarzi +1 more
TL;DR: Goodarzi et al. as discussed by the authors discussed trace elements in coal and their role in emission control systems and mine-land reclamation in arid and semi-arid areas.

Status of trace element emission in a coal combustion process: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the occurrence of trace elements (TEs) in coal and combustion waste are introduced. And the mechanisms of trace element transformation during combustion are illustrated as following: the vaporized metals at high temperature near the combustion flame will subsequently nucleate or condense at a lower temperature downstream.
