  • Patent number: 9555369
    Abstract: Methods of treating mercury contaminated gas comprising: introducing a hydrogen halide selected from HBr and HI into a mercury contaminated gas stream containing a quantity of particulate matter at an introduction rate sufficient to create a concentration of at least 0.1 ppmvd; wherein greater than 50% of all particulate matter in the mercury contaminated gas stream is a native particulate matter; contacting a quantity of active bromine with the native particulate matter; creating a doped particulate matter; coating a filtration media with the doped particulate matter; and passing a portion of the mercury contaminated gas stream through the doped particulate matter on the filtration media and other related methods are disclosed herein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2017

  • Patent number: 7833500
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the oxidation of Hg0 in coal fired flue gas to form Hg2+ which is absorbed by the scrubber solution in wet-FGD or SDA, or adsorbed by the fly ash and subsequently removed from the flue stack with ESP and FF, and/or any other means as are known in the art for SOx, NOx and particulate removals. The addition of a second flue gas stream having a halogen and fly ash therein simultaneously with said hydrogen halogen or interhalogens into a coal fired flue gas further increases the oxidation of Hg0 to Hg2+.
