摘要
: Mercury emissions from combustion of coal, biomass, and solid waste threaten human life and the environment. As the principal mercury species in flue gas, elemental mercury (Hg0 ) can easily escape from available air pollution control instruments because of its chemical inertness, high volatility, and aqueous insolubility. Recently, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) seems to be an intriguing candidate for Hg0 emission control. This review highlights the latest advances in adsorptive and photocatalytic removal of Hg0 by g-C3N4-based composites. Metal oxide (MeOx)- and halide-modified g-C3N4 can effectively capture Hg0 from simulated flue gas. Nonetheless, acidic flue gas components can degrade the performances of MeOx/g-C3N4 adsorbents, while halide-modified g-C3N4 suffers from release of halogen and potential leaching risk of mercury. Metal sulfide (MeSx)-modified g-C3N4 appears to be the best candidate for Hg0 capture owing to its superior tolerance to sulfur dioxide, fast adsorption rate, and high mercury capacity. Combining bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX) with g-C3N4 can promote photocatalytic oxidation of elemental mercury under visible light irradiation; nonetheless, the Hg0 removal efficiency is still unsatisfactory, and the underlying photocatalysis mechanism is not yet clear.
