EXPERIMENT STUDY OF ELEMENTAL MERCURY OXIDATION IN CL2 CONTAINED SIMULATED FLUE GASES

摘要

Mercury is a known neurotoxin that can cause reproductive and developmental problems in exposed organisms. It is estimated that 33% anthropogenic emissions of mercury comes from coal-fired utility boilers . Since the 1997's Mercury Study Report to Congress, mercury from coal combustion has gained worldwide concern. On March 15, 2005, US EPA issued the first-ever Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) to permanently cap and reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants.
