Wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) in coal-fired power plants has a great impact on the emission of particulate matter, including filterable particulate matter (FPM) and condensable particulate matter (CPM). In this paper, CPM and FPM in flue gas before and after WFGD in coal-fired power plants were sampled in parallel.

In this system, the coal is dried to a moisture content of less than 4% and then ground to (−3) mm size in a hammer mill. ... which in turn can cause ground water pollution if not managed properly. Wet cleaning is mostly used for metallurgical coals, whereas there is a general trend to use dry beneficiation for thermal coals.
In coal combustion, to generate electric power and process heat, the sulfur is emitted as SO2, which is seen as one of the main causes of acid rain. This effect has led to an interest in the three main methods of removing coal sulfur: coal cleaning, in-bed desulfurization, and flue gas desulfurization. Coal cleaning includes physical, chemical,
A variety of dust control methods are often applied in coal mines, among which the application of wet scrubbers has proven to be an efficient technology for the removal of dust in airstreams, rather than diluting or confining the dust. In this paper, a wet scrubber design was developed. Based on a self-designed experimental test platform, …
Dry and wet scrubbers, commonly used in large scale combustion systems for SO 2 control can be simultaneously used for mercury retention, taking advantage of the same sorbents used for sulphur or adding a new material for mercury [5]. However, a wide variation in mercury removal efficiency has been reported in the literature [6], [10], [11 ...
Coal ash is discharged from a power plant's boiler and collected in different ways, with so-called fly ash, or pulverized fuel ash (PFA), carried out with the large air flow through the boiler and collected by electrostatic or mechanical precipitators, which act as a filter. Fly ash particles are generally around 40 microns in diameter, but ...
Bottom Ash Wet-to-Dry Conversions. In the past few years, UCC has designed, installed and commissioned several bottom ash systems that have converted traditional wet sluice conveying systems …
Coal cleaning was largely developed to remove ash-forming minerals from coking coal. The coke-making industry has long recognized the benefits of clean coal, and most of the coal used by this industry is cleaned. On the other hand, only 15-20% of the coal consumed by the electric utility industry is cleaned and
The Ontario Hydro Method (OHM) recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was used to determine mercury speciation in the combustion flue gas across wet FGD systems. Four coal-fired units with wet FGD systems were chosen to evaluate mercury speciation and mercury removal efficiencies …
Sometimes, the (−) 0.5 mm size fraction of coal is subjected to wet sieving at 72#, 100#, 200#, and 300# mesh. Weight% & ash% are determined for respective size fractions. ... forming the lower layers, are separated from the clean coal using a shale discharge system. Both processes have found wide application throughout the world. …
The commercial success of advanced coal gasification based power generation systems require a reliable and efficient gas cleaning process. While conventional wet gas cleaning is a proven technology with an almost availability factor, it is thermally inefficient, consumes water and produces waste water sludge [1].
Clean coal technologies are an especially impor-tant option for reducing hazardous fossil fuel emissions and, in developing countries where coal is readily available, are often a cost-eff e c t i v e option. Currently, several clean coal technologies are in different stages of development and com-mercialization. Market competition has resulted
