Title: ASSESSMENT OF LOW COST NOVEL SORBENTS FOR COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT MERCURY CONTROL

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/833621· OSTI ID:833621

This is the first Technical Report under a program funded by the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to obtain the necessary information to assess the viability of lower cost alternatives to commercially available activated carbon for mercury control in coal-fired utilities. During this reporting period, a Request for Candidate Sorbents was sent to fourteen groups including activated carbon manufacturers and research groups. Several sorbent samples have been sent to URS for laboratory fixed-bed testing. A preliminary Test Plan has also been developed.
