Abstract

Part of our work has focused on elucidating the nature of the interactions between the mercury and the flue gas components on activated carbon surfaces, particularly the activated carbons derived from Texas (Norit FGD) and from Fort Union lignites (prepared at the EERC). This understanding is crucial to developing a model for mercury chemisorption and subsequent design of carbons with faster kinetics and greater capacities.
