BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Hinton holds
Ph.D. and B.S. degrees in Chemical
Engineering from the University of
Alabama. He is a registered
Professional Engineer in the state
of Florida. Dr. Hinton has with 16
years of experience in air pollution
control processes, especially
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
technology. His academic background
focused on heterogeneous catalysis
and he has applied that background
to his career in air pollution
control - examining advanced
environmental control processes,
flue-gas chemistry, flue-gas
monitoring, and adsorptive
processes. He has considerable
experience in research project
management and, as a former employee
of the Southern Company, Inc., he
managed their DOE Clean Coal
Technology Demonstration Project,
examining the application of SCR to
coal-fired boilers. This gave Dr.
Hinton extensive experience related
to flue gas monitoring, testing, and
the application of SCR technology to
flue gases in general. Subsequent
work in numerous research areas has
included mercury control options for
coal-fired boilers, effects of
chlorine and bromine on mercury
oxidation and capture, scrubber
performance including mercury
control, SCR system design,
maintenance, and optimization, SCR
catalyst regeneration, cleaning, and
disposal, ammonia adsorption on fly
ash, gas-phase ammonia and sulfur
trioxide reactions, advanced
catalysts for NOx control,
development of new gas monitoring
techniques, desorption mechanisms of
ammonia-contaminated fly ash and
amelioration methods, and other
projects related to environmental
aspects of fossil-fuel energy. |
