Abstract

Burning of coal in thermal power plant is chief source of mercury presence in surrounding environment. In the present study total mercury content in different wastewater discharge from Tenughat Thermal power plant, nearby soil, different coal ashes and nearby ground water has been evaluated. In all samples mercury analysis has been carried out by using atomic absorption spectro photometer with hydride generator facility. From the results it has been seen that water discharge from different unit of TTPS has very low concentration of mercury. Soil samples showed quite high concentration of mercury as compared to nearby groundwater. Pond ash contained maximum concentration of mercury as compared to flyash, bottom ash and coal.
