Mercury and Chlorine in the Balingian Coal from Sarawak, Malaysia

There are growing concerns regarding human and environmental health from the release of Hg and Cl during coal combustion. These two elements are potentially hazardous trace elements and so their emissions from coal combustion must be reduced to protect public health. However, information about Hg an...

description There are growing concerns regarding human and environmental health from the release of Hg and Cl during coal combustion. These two elements are potentially hazardous trace elements and so their emissions from coal combustion must be reduced to protect public health. However, information about Hg and Cl is usually lacking to both policy makers and coal users in many countries using coal for energy. The objective of this study was to understand the concentration, modes of occurrence, and the origin of Hg and Cl in the Balingian coal. Mercury content in the Balingian coal ranges from

The objective of this study was to understand the concentration, modes of occurrence, and the origin of Hg and Cl in the Balingian coal. Mercury content in the Balingian coal ranges from &lt;1 to 22 ppb with an arithmetic mean of 8 ppb, while Cl content varies from 100 to 209 ppm with an arithmetic mean of 139 ppm. The Balingian coal is highly depleted in Hg but it is enriched in Cl, with respect to the Clarke values of these elements. Mercury is mostly organically bounded in the studied section at sampling sites B01 and B03; however, it is mostly inorganically bounded in the studied section at sampling site B02. While Hg in the studied section at sampling sites B01 and B02 has been epigenetically emplaced from overlying rocks by descending groundwater carrying Hg in solution, it has been emplaced syn-genetically in the studied section at sampling site B03.
