Mercury Emissions Capture Efficiency with Activated Carbon Injection at a Russian Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant: Scientific Report

Coal combustion is a major source of anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emissions. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) estimates that coal combustion contributes about 24% of global anthropogenic Hg emissions. On an individual country basis, the largest emitters from this category are China, India, and the United States of America.
