Numerous studies have demonstrated that the in-situ capture of arsenic by CaO is a promising approach to control arsenic emission from coal-fired flue gas at low and medium temperature. However, the actual temperature of flue gas in furnace exceeds 1000 degrees C and the reaction mechanism regarding capture of arsenic by CaO at such high temperatures is still unclear. Therefore, in the study, the interaction between arsenic in the vapor phase (As2O3(g)) and CaO in the simulated flue gas from 1000 to 1300 degrees C were investigated. The results indicated that the amount of arsenic captured by CaO increased with the increasing temperature and As2O3(g) was fixed into the products in the form of Ca-3(AsO4)(2) . Due to the formation of CaSO4 in flue gas, SO2 can significantly promote the adsorption of arsenic between 1000 degrees C and 1200 degrees C. However, with the increase of temperature, this promotion effect gradually faded or even disappeared. On the other hand, in the presence of NO, the slight inhibiting effect on arsenic capture occurred over almost the entire operating temperature range. It was also found that lattice oxygen could also be served as oxidant for the chemical oxidation of As2O3 (g) in the absence of O-2 . The results in this study suggested that the retention of arsenic from coal combustion flue gas in furnace could be facilitated by increasing temperature as well as O-2 concentration and usage amount of high-sulfur coal appropriately.
