AB  - Experiments were carried out in a pilot-scale pulverized coal combustor at the 
      Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) burning a Powder River Basin 
      (PRB) subbituminous coal. A scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) and an 
      electrical low-pressure impactor (ELPI) were used to measure the particle size 
      distributions (PSDs) in the range of 17 nm to 10 mum at the inlet and outlet of 
      the electrostatic precipitator (ESP). At the ESP inlet, a high number 
      concentration of ultrafine particles was found, with the peak at approximately 75 
      nm. A trimodal PSD for mass concentration was observed with the modes at 
      approximately 80-100 nm, 1-2 mum, and 10 mum. The penetration of ultrafine 
      particles through the ESP increased dramatically as particle size decreased below 
      70 nm, attributable to insufficient or partial charging of the ultrafine 
      particles. Injection of nanostructured fine-particle sorbents for capture of 
      toxic metals in the flue gas caused high penetration of the ultrafine particles 
      through the ESP. The conventional ESP was modified to enhance charging using soft 
      X-ray irradiation. A slipstream of flue gas was introduced from the pilot-scale 
      facility and passed through this modified ESP. Enhancement of particle capture 
      was observed with the soft X-ray irradiation when moderate voltages were used in 
      the ESP, indicating more efficient charging of fine particles.
