Measurement of mercury emissions from a modified in-situ oil-shale retort

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5896330
; ;
Commercial oil-shale production has the potential to release significant amounts of mercury to the atmosphere. Two techniques to measure mercury in oil-shale-retort offgas, Zeeman atomic absorption spectroscopy and gold-bead amalgamation collection and analysis, are discussed and compared. A technique for speciating between organic and atomic forms of Hg is also discussed. The measured mercury emission rates and speciation results are presented.
