Abstract
The taconite industry is under pressure to reduce the emissions of mercury from
their induration process. Previous studies have indicated that greater than 90 percent
of the mercury in the green balls being fed to the induration process is vaporized during
the induration. The Minnesota DNR is in the process of conducting a bench-scale study
to determine the rate of mercury release as a function of temperature during the heating
of taconite. This program is a supplement to that work. The objectives of this program
were to determine the role of oxidation in the release of mercury at various
temperatures and to provide samples of heated material for Mossbauer spectroscopic
analysis.
