Semantic Scholar extracted view of "Mercury in gypsum produced from flue gas desulfurization" by Candace L. Kairies et al. ... The feasibility of identifying mercury species in the FGD gypsum and wallboard samples was investigated using a large sample size thermal desorption method and it was identified that Hg2Cl2 and HgCl2 could be …
The cocurrent contact of slurry and flue gas allows for a higher flue gas velocity and results in a reduced pressure drop. Additionally, combining the cocurrent absorber tower and reaction tank can reduce space requirements. In this design, limestone slurry is sprayed above the grid and is contacted by the flue gas. Simultaneous forced oxi-.
