Nano-structured zinc sulfide (Nano-ZnS) has been demonstrated to be a promising alternative to activated carbon (AC) for controlling mercury emission from coal combustion flue gas. The ultimate fate of the mercury-laden Nano-ZnS after mercury capture is mostly disposed in landfill with fly ashes. Thus, the stability of mercury adsorbed on the Nano-ZnS is of considerable significance in the secured disposal of fly ash after mercury removal and in the commercial application of the Nano-ZnS sorbent for removal of mercury from coal combustion flue gas. In this work, a modified toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) was conducted to evaluate the leachability of mercury on the Nano-ZnS. The effects of leachate pH value, leaching time, liquid-to-solid ratio, and acid rain types on mercury leaching from the mercury-laden Nano-ZnS were systematically investigated. The TCLP results show that the concentration of mercury in leachate was far below the safe limit (200g/L) as imposed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for classifying a material as a hazardous waste. All the key parameters that generally affected metal leaching rate exhibited slight effect on mercury leaching from the mercury-laden Nano-ZnS. Leaching tests at various highly severe conditions resulted in less than 0.01% mercury leaching from the mercury-laden Nano-ZnS. Sequential selective extraction tests demonstrated that mercury sulfide (HgS) was the dominant adsorption product on the Nano-ZnS, which guaranteed the excellent stability of mercury adsorbed on the Nano-ZnS.
