ABSTRACT:
Activated carbon injection is provided for mercury removal in a flue gas treatment system having an electrostatic precipitator and a wet flue gas desulfurization tower by injecting fresh activated carbon into the flue along with recycled carbon from the exhaust of the precipitator to minimize fresh carbon make up along with an activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower to maximize mercury and other toxin removal from the flue exhaust.
