Real Time Detection of Gaseous Metal Contaminants in Coal Flue and Fuel Gas

Mar 21, 2010
Erik C. Rupp
The Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is a promising technology for the future use of coal to provide energy. During this process, many of the trace elements present in coal are volatilized, and remain in the gas phase through the gas turbine, only to be released in the flue gas. Trace...
