This paper introduces a predictive mechanism for elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) oxidation on selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts in coal-fired utility gas cleaning systems, given the ammonia (NH 3 )/nitric oxide (NO) ratio and concentrations of Hg 0 and HCl at the monolith inlet, the monolith p...
