Multi-Pollutant Control for Flue Gases

This book presents the latest multi-pollutant (mainly NO x , SO x , particulate matter, heavy metals) control technologies for flue gases and the applications in coal-fired power plants. Pollutant control by catalytic, electric, and absorption methods, the multi-pollutant removal system and its performance evaluation are systematically introduced. This book is a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in environmental science & engineering, energy power engineering, and chemical science & engineering, etc .

Broadens the understanding of multi-pollutant control Summarizes air pollution types and the pollution control issues related to energy utilization Presents both already established knowledge and latest updates on multi-pollutant (mainly NOx, SOx, particulate matter, heavy metals) control technologies for flue gases Maximizes readers knowledge on catalytic, electric, and absorption methods, and multi-pollutant removal system and technology evaluation Useful as a reference for students, researchers and practitioners for the understanding of multi-pollutant control
