Air Pollutant Emissions from Coal-fired Power Plants. 2.

In order to investigate the factual air pollutant emissions from Henan’s power sector in 2010, SO2, NOx and PM emissions from 24 generating sets from 15 coal-fired power plants have been measured. It is shown that SO2 emission values from 22 of 24 generating sets conform to the requirements, which is causing by the high performance of the flue gas desulfurization system. Much higher NOx emissio...

Adsorption of Inorganic Contaminants in Ponded Effluents from Coal-fired Power Plants

The objectives of this study were [1] to conduct some experimental tests of the surface precipitation adsorption model, and [2] to work on the development of a simple yet widely applicable approach to modelling adsorption of inorganic ions on oxide surfaces. The latter represents the first portion of our continuing effort to develop a data base for adsorption of inorganic contaminants in oxide ...

Mercury concentrations in wetlands associated with coal-fired power plants.

There have been contradictory reports of the relative proportion of mercury from coal-fired power plants that deposits locally. Our objective was to determine any local effect of coal-fired power plants on total mercury concentrations in wetland sediment and tadpole samples. Four power plants and 45 wetlands were selected for study. Total mercury concentrations were determined in 75 sediment sa...

Performance Analysis of Coal fired Power Plants in India

With over 150GW of installed capacity and around 723.8 BUs of electricity generation during 2008-09, India remains the 5 largest consumer of electricity in the world. Coal fired power plants account for more than half of the installed capacity and caters to more than 65% of the power demand. Against the prevalent practice of ratio analysis being used for the performance estimation, the study us...
