Abstract
A systemfor removing elemental mercury or mercury compounds handles carbonaceous sorbentof a starter batch stored in a siloin an agglomerated state. The sorbentis fed by a feederto a separation device, which comminutes (if necessary) and de-agglomerates the sorbent particlesto their primary size distribution. This devicemay be a particle-particle separator or a jet mill, where compressed air or high-pressure steam is the energy source. The de-agglomerated sorbentof a contact batch created from the starter batch is conveyed by an airsteam for injection at a contact locationin a flue gas duct whereat carbonaceous sorbent of the contact batch adsorbs mercury from the flue gas.
