Multi-Pollutant Control for Flue Gases: Principles and Applications

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.
