Biochar application to soils is being considered as a means to sequester carbon (C) while
concurrently improving soil functions. The main focus of this report is providing a critical …

Understanding the modes of occurrence of mercury in coal provides information needed to
evaluate effectiveness of mercury emission control by pretreatment of coal prior to coal …

Mercury is a widely known pollutant, and coal combustion is one of the largest sources of
anthropogenic Hg emission. Mercury reduction technologies globally rely on flue gas …

Mercury emission control technology in the combustion flue gas of coal-fired power plants
has been under intensive development, but none has been implemented commercially …

The mercury concentration in coal varies in a wide range with the world average (the Clarke
value) of 100 ppb. Mercury in coal can be represented by various forms having different …

The mercury release during pyrolysis of eight Chinese bituminous coals under N 2 at
temperatures up to 1200° C was studied. The pyrolysis experiment was carried out in a …

Coal combustion is one of the largest anthropogenic contributors to SO x and some other
volatile elemental emissions to the atmosphere. Therefore, the current study investigated the …

The fate of mercury (Hg) content of four poor quality coals was investigated under various
pyrolysis conditions (temperature, time, pressure), using helium flow. The resulting chars …

Coal combustion is an anthropogenic source of mercury (Hg) emissions to the atmosphere.
The strong toxicity and bioaccumulation potential have prompted attention to the control of …

Mode of occurrence of mercury in three coals was studied using sequential selective
extraction, physical separation, and thermal treatment methods. Mercury speciation in the …
