Emission characteristics of Cd, Pb and Mn from coal combustion: Field study at coal-fired power plants in China

Evaluation of a flue gas cleaning system of a circulating fluidized bed incineration power plant by the analysis of pollutant emissions

“…Taking environmental pollution and sustainable development into consideration, the fly ash in this CFB power plant was converted to foam glass. Compared with some previous CFB samples [46,47], the concentrations of Hg and Cd in fly ash samples were much higher. Considering the requirement of low concentration of heavy metals in some materials, pre-treatment (lowering the concentration of heavy metals of fly ash) is necessary for the in depth application of fly ash.…”

Quantitative Assessment of Heavy Metals in Coal-Fired Power Plant’s Waste Water

“…Similarly, Deng et al, (Deng et al, 2014) (9.44 μg/g), Ta (0.62 μg/g), Hf (3.71 μg/g), Th (5.84 μg/g), and rare earth elements (ΣLa-Lu+Y, 136 μg/g) and toxic elements of Hg (0.163 μg/g), As (3.79 μg/g), and F (130 μg/g). Baba et al, (Baba & Kaya, 2004) in their study stated that lignite use in power generation has led to increase in environmental related problems.…”

Environmental Potential of Using Coal-Processing Waste as the Primary and Secondary Fuel for Energy Providers

“…Furthermore, environmental concerns about the emissions of carbon and sulfur oxides are quite significant [3][4][5] even when using the highest-quality coal (the reserves of such coals are limited as well) [6,7]. In this context, sustainable technologies become very attractive by providing ways to use wastes of fuel production-in particular, from coals and oils-or to develop new coal-water fuel compositions [8]. The technologies of coal-water slurry (CWS) and coal-water slurry containing petrochemicals (CWSP) are the best known.…”

“…With CWS and CWSP, the main emphasis is on the use of low-rank coals, organic wastes, and black oils [8][9][10]. This results from the need to meet several objectives [8,9]: to reduce the dispersion of sulfur and carbon oxides during coal combustion, to expand the raw material resources base in order to produce fuels from the corresponding wastes, to improve combustion efficiency of low-rank coals, and to utilize organic wastes and black oils more effectively.…”

According to the feasibility studies of typical coal processing wastes involved in the power generation cycle in Russia [11], filter cakes generated during coal flotation at processing factories are the most favorable option due to their high annual increment.…”
