[Terrapreta] [Gasification] Wood as source of mercury emissions?

[LINVENT at aol.com]

A large 12Mwe wood fired stoker combustor, steam power plant in New Hampshire 
emitted several tons/year of lead as the wood in the area was high in lead 
due to the basic geochemistry. It was a problem getting the system permitted. 
Mercury is much more volatile and subject to emission from a standard combustion 
system, and much less from a well developed gasification system.
