A Novel Method for the Removal of Trace Concentration of Elemental Mercury From Utility Emissions

A new technique for removal of elemental mercury from emissions of coal-fired utilities was investigated. The key idea is to selectively photo ionize the mercury atoms. A strong electric field gradient then drags them to the negative plate where they can be collected and removed.
