Mercury is present in coal in low concentrations, on the order of 0.1 ppmw. In the combustion zone of a coal-fired power plant, all the mercury in coal is vaporized as elemental mercury, yielding vapor concentrations of mercury in the range of 1 to 20 μg/m 3 (1 to 20 ppbw). At furnace exit temperatures (1700 K), all of the mercury is expected ...

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) has the ability to dramatically reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power production. Most studies find the potential for 70 to 80 percent reductions in CO2 emissions on a life-cycle basis, depending on the technology. Because of this potential, utilities and policymakers are considering …

During coal combustion, natural radioactive material in coal concentrates in three main waste streams: Fly ash is a light colored, fine particle waste that resembles a powder. The majority of coal combustion wastes are fly ash. Bottom ash is a larger particle size than fly ash and is a heavier waste that resembles a mix of sand and small rocks.
