Coal Combustion and Combustion Products

Estimation of atmospheric iodine emission from coal combustion

Coal combustion is the primary anthropogenic source of atmospheric iodine, which has important environmental and health effects. The iodine distribution in Chinese coals and the atmospheric iodine emission factors of coal-fired boilers are studied to estimate the iodine atmospheric flux from coal combustion in China from 1995 to 2009. The national average iodine content weighted by coal yield f...

Environmental effects of increased coal utilization: ecological effects of gaseous emissions from coal combustion.

This report is limited to an evaluation of the ecological and environmental effects of gaseous emissions and aerosols of various types which result from coal combustion. It deals with NOx, SOx, fine particulate, photochemical oxidant and acid precipitation as these pollutants affect natural and managed resources and ecosystems. Also, synergistic effects involving two or more pollutants are eval...

Mercury from Coal Combustion

A 1997 study in Minnesota indicated a relationship between mercury deposition trends and regional coal combustion (as well as other possible sources) spanning a period of two centuries (Engstrom and Swain 1997). Sediment core sampling from rural lakes in eastern Minnesota indicated a growth in mercury deposited from the air since the first half of the 1800s, with the amount peaking in the 1960s...
