Recent research has shown that fly ash may catalyze the oxidation of elemental mercury and facilitate its removal. However, the nature of mercury-fly ash interaction is still unknown, and the mechanism of mercury retention in fly ash needs to be investigated more thoroughly. In this work, a fly...

Using pyridine nitrogen as representative of nitrogen-containing char model, detailed theoretical calculations based on DFT (density functional theory) and conventional TST (transition state theory) are carried out to investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of the heterogeneous interaction...

A novel comprehensive utilization system of oil shale involving retort subsystem, combustion subsystem, electricity generation and ash processing subsystem is recommended for Huadian oil shale. To ensure the thermal balance and stable operation of the whole system, part of non-condensable gases...
