Granulation of Mn-based perovskite adsorbent for cyclic Hg0 capture from coal combustion flue gas

Jianping Yang et al.

Summary: Circulating adsorbents integrating elemental mercury adsorption and oxidized mercury decomposition/desorption processes were used for simultaneous adsorbent recycling and mercury recovery. The formation of granulated adsorbent pellets reduced elutriation in the system. La0.8Ce0.2MnO3 perovskite adsorbent was molded into pellets using an extrusion-spheronization method with microcrystalline cellulose (MC) as a pore-creating template. The pellets showed excellent Hg0 removal efficiency and durability in a wide temperature range, with slight interference from SO2 and H2O and enhancement from O2 and NO. The presence of pore channels in the pellets allowed for efficient Hg0 diffusion and in-situ retention during high-temperature burning.

Wei He et al.

Summary: A simple hydrothermal method is used to dope cobalt species into CeO2 nanorods, which improves the reduction properties and activity of CeO2 for Hg-0 removal.

Performance enhancement of elemental mercury removal from syngas over Fe7SC sorbent: Experimental and theoretical studies

Xiaoyang Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, a Fe7SC sorbent was prepared via hydrothermal impregnation for the removal of Hg-0 from simulated syngas. The introduction of oxygen enhanced the capture of Hg-0 by inducing targeted H2S oxidation. The effects of oxygen, temperature, and syngas composition on Hg-0 adsorption performance were investigated. Fe7SC exhibited superior Hg-0 removal performance in the presence of H2S + O2. The interaction between H2S and oxygen was responsible for its enhanced Hg-0 capture capacity. CO and H2 suppressed Hg-0 adsorption, while H2O inhibited Hg-0 removal due to competitive adsorption. The kinetic analysis suggested that Hg-0 surface chemisorption was the rate-controlling step.
