CATALYST FOR GENERATING OXIDIZED MERCURY FOR TESTING MERCURY CONTINUOUS EMISSION MONITORS (CEM)

摘要

The present invention discloses a catalyst, system, and process for oxidizing mercury. The catalyst can include a substrate and a layer attached to at least part of the substrate. The layer contains a noble metal and has an average thickness of less than 100 nanometers. The substrate can be a plurality of glass fibers that provides for a relatively high surface area for the layer to be attached to. In the alternative, the substrate can be a porous substrate that provides for a high surface area for the layer to be attached to.
