High capacity sorbents and optimization of existing pollution control technologies for mercury capture in industrial combustion systems (MERCURYCAP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2007, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
This proposal addresses the global problem of mercury (Hg) emissions from coal-fired plants and the current position of conventional air pollution control devices (APCDs) only providing partial solution for oxidized Hg capture, particularly for low-rank coals.Our previous work has shown that (1) low-cost gasification chars have superior mercury capture performance than current benchmark carbons; a ...

Low Emission Gas Turbine Technology for Hydrogen-rich Syngas (H2-IGCC)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
The overall objective of this project is to provide and demonstrate technical solutions which will allow the use of state-of-the-art highly efficient, reliable gas turbines in the next generation of IGCC plants, suitable for combusting undiluted hydrogen-rich syngas derived from a pre-combustion CO2 capture process, with high fuel flexibility. The recognised challenge is to operate a stable and co ...

Assessment of Climatic change and impacts on the Quantity and quality of Water (ACQWA)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
As the evidence for human induced climate change becomes clearer, so too does the realization that its effects will have impacts on natural environment and socio-economic systems. Some regions are more vulnerable than others, both to physical changes and to the consequences for ways of life. The proposal will assess the impacts of a changing climate on the quantity and quality of water in mountain ...
