A transient model for combustion of a coal particle is presented. The model assumes that mercury and chlorine are released as a part of volatiles in the form of elemental mercury and HCl. A three steps reaction is implemented for the oxidation of mercury. Mercury oxidation (HgCl{sub}2) increased as the chlorine concentration in coal increased. The model investigates the effect of different parameters on the extent of mercury oxidization.
