Abstract Details

2013, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Biology.
Mercury pollution from coal and oil fired power plants is the largest aggregate source of anthropogenic mercury in the world. As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency has passed the Mercury Air Toxics Standards, which strictly prohibit the quantities of mercury and other toxic air pollutants that these utilities can emit. Neundorfer has developed a unique ozone generator technology that addresses this problem by oxidizing mercury and facilitating its capture in existing air pollution control systems. This novel solution to mercury remediation is applicable to utilities that have FGD scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, and/or bag houses in use at their facilities.
