The Removal of Mercury From Flue Gas via Oxidation Reactions Along with the On-Site Analysis of Mercury Through Anodic Stripping Voltammetry
Abstract
In this thesis, studies of the oxidation of mercury and the analysis of mercury in flue gas will be presented. Through quantum mechanical calculations, Wilcox showed that HOCl is a better oxidizer of mercury than HCl and Cl2. This result can be applied for the removal of mercury in flue gas. The optimal conditions for a gold-plated iridium Nano-Band array ultramicroelectrode for the detection of mercury were studied by Xiao, et al. Applications of this research will allow on site testing of flue gas samples containing mercury.
