Abstract: A method for the reduction and prevention of mercury emissions into the environment from combusted fossil fuels or other off-gases with the use of peracetic acid is disclosed. The peracetic acid is used for the capture of mercury from the resulting flue gases using a flue gas desulfurization system or scrubber. The method uses peracetic acid in conjunction with a scrubber to capture mercury and lower its emission and/or re-emission with stack gases. The method allows the use of coal as a cleaner and environmentally friendlier fuel source as well as capturing mercury from other processing systems.

Abstract: Additives including sulfur-containing compounds are used in methods of treating synthetic gypsum. The additives can thermally stabilize heavy metals, such as mercury. This thermal stabilization reduces mercury release from the synthetic gypsum. Illustrative, non-limiting examples of sulfur-containing compounds include inorganic sulfides, organic sulfides, organic compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur, organic compounds containing oxygen and sulfur, and polymers containing sulfur.

Abstract: A method for the reduction and prevention of mercury emissions into the environment from combusted fossil fuels or off-gases having mercury with the use of hypoiodite is disclosed. The hypoiodite is used for the capture of mercury from the resulting flue gases using a flue gas desulfurization system or scrubber. The method uses hypoiodite in conjunction with a scrubber to capture mercury and lower its emission and/or re-emission with stack gases. The method allows the use of coal as a cleaner and environmentally friendlier fuel source as well as capturing mercury from other processing systems.

Abstract: This invention pertains to method of using a composition comprising one or more hydrophobically modified polyacrylamides, wherein the polyacrylamides contain acrylamide, one or more anionic monomers, and excludes a cationic monomer, and the method of combination with other compositions for use in combination for consumer and/or industrial applications.

Abstract: A method and composition for the reduction of the emission of selenium into the environment from the burning of fossil fuels with the use of two chemistries, either individually or in combination with each other. The method uses polydithiocarbamic compounds, including polydithiocarbamic compounds derived from a polymer produced from acrylic-x and alkylamine in conjunction with a scrubber process to capture selenium and reduce its emission in aqueous phase blowdown. The method and composition also helps reduce corrosion in the scrubber process.
