Patent number: 7833500Abstract: 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+.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2009Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Western Kentucky UniversityInventors: Wei-Ping Pan, Yan Cao, Bobby I. T. Chen, Chien-Wei Chen

Patent number: 6235647Abstract: A deposition process for forming a void-free dielectric layer is described. A first dielectric layer 204 is formed over a conductor pattern 202. A second dielectric layer 206 is formed to conform to the first dielectric layer. A third dielectric layer 208 is formed to cover the second dielectric layer. The first, second, and third dielectric layers can be formed by high density plasma deposition, atmospheric pressure deposition, and plasma enhanced deposition, respectively. The second dielectric layer can alternatively be formed by plasma enhanced deposition.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1999Date of Patent: May 22, 2001Assignee: United Microelectronics Corp.Inventors: I.
