1 Mercury Speciation in Flue Gas from Coal-fired Power Stations Matthew A Dexter, Warren T Corns and Peter B Stockwell P S Analytical Arthur House Crayfields Industrial Estate Main Road Orpington BR5 3HP

2 Overview Hg in stack gas measurements Why? Offline analysis Continuous Emission Monitors Sample collection Sample transport Sample pre-treatment Analysis Calibration Typical Data Summary

3 Why Measure Power Station Hg Emissions? Public concern about Hg emissions Environmental accumulation of toxic metals Major sources of emissions: coal fired power plants waste incinerators Transport strongly dependent on speciation Regulatory compliance US EPA Clean Air Mercury Rule (March 2005)

4 Offline Analysis Reference methods EPA Methods 29 and 101a (Total Mercury) Impinger based HNO 3 /H 2 O 2 or H 2 SO 4 /KMnO 4 Ontario Hydro Method (Speciation) ASTM Method D Impingers with KCl & H 2 SO 4 /KMnO 4 Monitoring methods QuickSEM TM (Total Mercury) 40 CFR Part 75 Appendix K

5 Offline Analysis Reference methods Average data over 1+ hours Labour intensive Delay for results from lab. Monitoring methods Average data over hours or days Delay for results from lab.
