Research on Heavy Metals Produced from Coal Burning and Their Chemical Control

Huang Gray

The burning of coal for energy production is a significant contributor to heavy metal emissions, posing environmental and health risks. This article provides an abstract on research conducted to understand the formation of heavy metals during coal burning and the development of chemical control strategies. The research findings highlight the influence of coal properties and combustion conditions on heavy metal emissions, as well as the mechanisms involved in their formation. Various chemical control strategies, including flue gas treatment, particulate matter control, coal cleaning, and advanced combustion technologies, have been explored to mitigate heavy metal emissions. The abstract summarizes the progress made in controlling heavy metal emissions from coal-fired power plants, emphasizing the importance of effective strategies to reduce environmental pollution and safeguard public health.
