Atmospheric mercury emissions from coal combustion and waste incineration processes have been drawing attention as global pollutant. It has been reported that wet desulfurization process and/or absorbing bed of activated carbon, which are generally installed in domestic coal fired power plants, can control mercury emissions. However, considering the growing diversity of fuels including waste products and the overseas market development, a low-cost dry process for mercury removal from stack gas needs to be developed in near future. Objective in this study is to utilize particle materials derived from waste products to capture gaseous mercury. Mercury absorption experiments have bee n conducted using some mineral particles. As a result, calcined paper sludge showed the high performance for mercury absorption.
