Popis: Mercury is among the main pollutants in the atmosphere. Mercury can be released to the atmosphere by human activities including coal combustion, cement production, incineration and others. Coal combustion is primarily contributed to mercury emissions. This study is aimed at research and implementation of mercury model in computational fluid dynamics modeling to predict the distribution of mercury when coal is combusted in the furnace. The mercury model was implemented in CFD Fluent that consists of three models including One Step Model, Two Step Model and Detail Wilcox Model. The post process modeling is used for mercury emissions prediction since the low amounts of mercury has negligible impact on coal combustion. The Detailed Wilcox mercury model was applied and the result obtained was compared with measured from the plant.
