摘要
Elemental mercury (Hg-0) emitted from coal-fired power plants and municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators has caused great harm to the environment and human beings. The strong oxidized (OH)-O-aEuro cent radicals produced by UV/H2O2 advanced oxidation processes were studied to investigate the performance of Hg-0 removal from simulated flue gases. The results showed that when H2O2 concentration was 1.0 mol/L and the solution pH value was 4.1, the UV/H2O2 system had the highest Hg-0 removal efficiency. The optimal reaction temperature was approximately 50 A degrees C and Hg-0 removal was inhibited when the temperature was higher or lower. The yield of (OH)-O-aEuro cent radicals during UV/H2O2 reaction was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. UV radiation was the determining factor to remove Hg-0 in UV/H2O2 system due to (OH)-O-aEuro cent generation during H2O2 decomposition. SO2 had little influence on Hg-0 removal whereas NO had an inhibitory effect on Hg-0 removal. The detailed findings for Hg-0 removal reactions over UV/H2O2 make it an attractive method for mercury control from flue gases.
