Abstract

The efficiency of radiation-chemical treatment of flue gases from thermal power stations for removing nitrogen and sulfur oxides was examined as applied to the removal of mercury vapor from the gases. A kinetic scheme of the process was developed. It involves the liquid-phase oxidation of Hg by O3 molecules formed under the action of ionizing radiation on the gas macrocomponents followed by adsorption of the oxidation products at soot particles. It was found that almost complete removal of mercury vapor is attained at typical radiation doses and soot concentrations in the flue gases.
