Abstract:
A novel technique on oxidation-separation of elemental mercury (Hg(0)) in flue gas using Fenton solution in a bubbling reactor was proposed. The effects of several process parameters (H2O2 concentration, Hg(0) inlet concentration, Fe(2+) concentration, solution temperature, solution pH, gas flow) and several flue gas components (NO, SO2, O2, CO2, inorganic ions and particulate matters on Hg(0) removal were studied. The results indicate that H2O2 concentration, Fe(2+) concentration, solution pH and gas flow have great effects on Hg(0) removal. Solution temperature, Hg(0), NO, SO2, CO3(2-) and HCO3(-) concentrations also have significant effects on Hg(0) removal. However, Cl(-), SO4(2-), NO3(-), O2 and CO2 concentrations only have slight effects on Hg(0) removal. Furthermore, reaction mechanism of Hg(0) removal and simultaneous removal process of Hg(0), NO and SO2 were also studied. Hg(0) is removed by oxidation of OH and oxidation of H2O2. The simultaneous removal efficiencies of 100% for SO2, 100% for Hg(0) and 88.3% for NO were obtained under optimal test conditions. The results demonstrated the feasibility of Hg(0) removal and simultaneous removal of Hg(0), SO2 and NO using Fenton solution in a bubbling reactor.
