摘要: 通过固定床吸附实验,在130℃温度下模拟研究燃煤烟气组分在椰壳活性炭(CS-AC)表面吸附气态元素汞(Hg0)过程中的作用与影响,揭示模拟烟气组分、Hg0以及活性炭表面三者间的均相、异相氧化反应特性。实验研究了CS-AC在N2和模拟烟气气氛下对Hg0的吸附,模拟烟气组分与Hg0间的均相氧化反应,以及吸附模拟烟气组分后CS-AC在N2气氛下对Hg0的吸附。研究表明在N2气氛下CS-AC对Hg0不具备物理吸附的能力,而在模拟烟气组分下CS-AC对Hg0具有较强的吸附能力,初始吸附效率达80%。仅在模拟烟气均相反应作用下,大约只有14%的Hg0被氧化为Hg2+。经过预先跟常规模拟烟气吸附反应,CS-AC表面具备一定氧化性化学元素基团(如NOx)后,能够在N2气氛下对Hg0进行化学吸附,初始吸附效率达67%左右。可以认为模拟烟气和Hg0两者间的均相作用不是促进CS-AC在模拟烟气组分下对Hg0具有较强的吸附能力的主因。活性炭吸附Hg0的过程中,活性炭表面在烟气组分氧化Hg0的过程中起到了积极的促进作用。无论在N2气氛下,还是在模拟烟气下,CS-AC吸附Hg0是气氛中氧化性组分、Hg0和活性炭表面三者间的异相化学氧化吸附反应过程。

Abstract: The role and effect of simulated flue gas on adsorption of elemental mercury (Hg0)on coconut shell activated carbon (CS-AC)were studied by adsorption experiment carried out at 130℃ in a bench-scale fixed bed to reveal the characteristics of homogeneous/heterogeneous oxidation reaction between components of simulated flue gas,Hg0 and CS-AS surface.The experiments were divided into three parts:first,adsorption of Hg0 on surface of CS-AC in nitrogen (N2)gas and simulated flue gas; second,homogeneous oxidation reaction between the components of simulated flue gas and Hg0; and third,adsorption of Hg0 in N2 gas on surface of CS-AC pre-adsorbed by simulated flue gas.The results showed that CS-AC can not adsorb Hg0 in N2 gas,however,it became easy in simulated flue gas and the initial adsorption efficiency was up to 80%.According to the result of homogeneous reaction between the simulated flue gas and Hg0 at the temperature of 130℃,only about 14% of Hg0 can be oxidized to divalent mercury (Hg2+)which is easily adsorbed by CS-AC,which was much lower than 80% of initial Hg0 adsorption efficiency in the simulated flue gas.This result could indicate that homogeneous reaction between simulated flue gas and Hg0 was not the main reason of high Hg0 adsorption efficiency.It was very interesting that in N2 gas Hg0 could be adsorbed by CS-AC if it was pre-treated with simulated flue gas without Hg0.The pre-adsorption process of simulated flue gas could fix some components in flue gas,such as NOxetc.,on surface of CS-AC,and these components would help adsorption of Hg0 in N2 gas,and the initial adsorption efficiency was about 67%.During the oxidation adsorption process,surface of CS-AC played important role.Therefore,it could be thought that the adsorption process of Hg0 by CS-AC is a heterogeneous chemical oxidation reaction and adsorption process between oxidizing components in flue gas,element mercury Hg0 and the CS-AC’s surface,whatever in N2 gas or in simulated flue gas.
