  2. Ceno- zoic Mesozoic Million Years Ago Paleozoic Chlorine increases mercury capture by existing emission control technology. The significance of the coal mercury content depends on the emission control technology at the power plant. Hg emissions out stack (kg/PJ) Hg in coal (kg/PJ) Points show predicted capture for USA county-average, ICR 2 data, modified from Toole O’Neil et al., (2005). Points show different electric power plants, modified from Quick et al., (2005), ICR 3 data. Sulfur reduces mercury capture by existing emission control technology. Chlorine in USA coal varies with rank, but is better explained by geologic age. ASTM rank cold electrostatic precipitator, wet desulphurization [ x ] = %S (dry) cold electrostatic precipitator ( x ) = kg S/GJ Points show USA county-average ICR 2 data, modified from Kolker et al., (in press).
