Emission and Control of Trace Elements from Coal-Derived Gas Streams (Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy)

Emission and Control of Trace Elements from Coal-Derived Gas Streams presents an up-to-date and focused analysis on Trace element (TEs) emissions and control strategies during coal utilization. This book provides an insight into how TE's in coal are distributed from different coal-forming periods, coal ranks and coal-bearing regions. Professor Zhao and his team of expert contributors recognize that TEs in coal result in substantial pollutant emissions and cause serious damage to the ecological environment and human health. As such the emission and control of TEs during coal utilization are of rising significant concern. The book introduces the TEs in coal and pollution in an accessible way, before discussing why they occur and how they are distributed during various stages of coal forming, considering various regions and countries. Specific types of TEs in relation to partition in coal combustion, coal fires, gasification and coal feed furnace and then analysed, providing the reader with practical knowledge to apply to their own research or projects. This book is an essential reference for Energy Engineers researching and working in Coal technology, with a specific focus on emission control, as well as graduate students and researchers in Energy Engineering, Environmental, Thermal and Chemical Engineering with an interest in trace element emission and control from coal utilization. Presents characteristics of TE emissions during coal utilization in laboratory-scale experiments, industrial furnaces and power plants Considers different legislation and case studies from various regions and countries Includes contributions from world renowned experts Presents a concise and focused analysis on TE emissions and control strategies
