Experimental Study on Mercury Oxidation in a Fluidized Bed under O2/CO2 and O2/N2 Atmospheres

“…If this mass balance is within the range of 70–130%, it can be assumed that the data obtained from the experiments using the OHM and U.S. EPA Method 26A are accurate. It should be noted that a bias exists when using the OHM if chlorine is present in the flue gas, as reported by Buitrago et al, Wilcox, and Linak et al…”

“…This result implies that the inhibition effect of CO 2 on mercury oxidation is strong. Wilcox summarized mercury oxidation in terms of chlorine kinetic reactions (eqs –) and found that mercury oxidation increased as the HCl concentration increased as follows (eqs –): …”
