“…For mercury control, activated carbon injection upstream of the ESP or FF is considered as the most promised as a mercury control technology [8,9], whereas, the rather high cost of the sorbent, activated carbon's poor utilization/selectivity for mercury have made this technology less attractive for industrial use in China [10,11]. Since the single-pollutant control technologies result in expensive investment and operating cost, researchers focused on developing new technology for simultaneous removal of NO, SO 2 and mercury from flue gas, including ozone injection [5], pulsed corona discharge, [6] absorption process [12][13][14] etc. Now, multi-pollutant gas cleaning systems are considered a valuable option in terms of efficiency and low investment, and the wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) units are considered an optimized method for the co-capture of pollutants [15].…”
