Hydrogen chloride (HCl) emissions from Maryland utility boilers

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:698788
The report evaluates and compares the magnitude of hydrogen chloride (HCl) emission resulting from coal and fuel oil combustion in Maryland with the other acid gases, sulfur dioxide (SO{sub 2}) and nitrogen oxides (NO{sub x}), which are emitted from these sources. In addition, a comparison is made between HCl emissions resulting from utility boilers and other large combustion sources of HCl such as municipal solid waste, sewage sludge, and medical waste incinerators. The HCl report includes the following major topical areas: Chloride levels in fossil fuels (coal and fuel oils); Fate of chloride in fossil fuel combustion units; Comparison of SO{sub 2}, NO{sub x} and HCl emission from Maryland utility boilers; and comparison of HCl emissions for selected combustion sources.
