Chamber investigations of atmospheric mercury oxidation chemistry
Mercury is a potent neurotoxin even at low concentrations. The unoxidised metal has a high vapour pressure and can circulate through the atmosphere, but when oxidised can deposit and be accumulated through the food chain. This work aims to investigate the oxidation processes of atmospheric Hg0(g). …

Evaluation Of A Low Corrosion Method To Increase Mercury Oxidation And Scrubber Capture
… one of the major contributors of the atmospheric mercury in the Lake Superior basin by the Lake Superior Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP). Mercury is a leading concern among air toxic metals due to its volatility, persistence and bioaccumulation as methylmercury in the environment, and its …

Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Proprietary Additives In Improving Capture And Sequestration Of Oxidized Mercury In Scrubber Systems
<p>Mercury released during thermal processing (induration) of beneficiated taconite ore (referred to as green balls) can be captured by scrubber waters if it is in an oxidized form. Consequently, mercury emissions from Taconite facilities can be reduced by oxidation of the mercury released from the …

Reaction mechanisms of hydrocarbon and mercury systems in the atmosphere and in combustion: A theoretical study of thermochemical and kinetic properties
… on smaller cyclic alkanes and ethers, and on the oxidation of mercury by the addition of halogens, in atmospheric and combustion environments. As illustrated in the combustion models developed, a fundamental understanding of the processes can enable optimization, and lead to reductions in …
