Abstract

Recent experiments with SO₃ added to a synthetic flue gas exhibit unique and somewhat unexpected mercury capture behavior for various simulated flue gas compositions. As predicted by the EERC model, results showed that the more acidic SO₃ component is able to increase the initial reactivity of the carbon surface, an effect similar to that shown for HCl.
