Flue gas Oxidized Hg (Hg2+) species are adsorbed by a potassium chloride (KCl). After passing through the KCl sorbent, Elemental Hg (Hgo) is collected by iodated carbon sorbent. Total Hg (Hgt) is determined by summation of species.
Proper temperature maintenance is critical (<130°C) for accurate speciation results. Sorbent trap shields are used to prevent buildup of particulate, which can potentially oxidize mercury creating a bias.
Requires Air Cooled Probe
