Development and Evaluation of Carbon-based Mercury Adsorbents

چکیده
Activated carbon injection upstream of a particulate control system is currently the most viable method available for removal of both elemental and oxidized mercury from coal-fired utility flue gas streams [1]. However, current estimates predict very high costs associated with mercury control, with activated carbon costs representing a large fraction of the overall costs. In order to make carbon injection for mercury removal feasible, it is necessary to either reduce the amount of carbon needed, or decrease the cost of activated carbon production.

Background and aims: Sampling of toxic mercury vapors (Hg0) is necessary for determination of occupational exposure levels of workers exposed to this contaminant. Given the tendency of carbon nanotubes for mercury adsorption, carbon nanotubes can be expected to be suitable sampling media for mercury. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of multi-walled and single-walled carbon n...

Introduction The major anthropogenic sources of mercury emission are coal combustion and municipal waste incineration. However, it is very difficult to remove the mercury compounds, particularly elemental mercury vapor, which is not effectively captured in typical air – pollution control devices. It has been reported that activated carbon, particularly activated carbon impregnated with sulfur, ...

Activated carbons are universal adsorbents that can be obtained from a wide variety of raw materials, and have been found to be very effective for mercury removal from water. This contribution presents a comparative adsorption in column study of activated carbons obtained by physical activation of carbonized eucalyptus wood with water vapour, as adsorbents of mercury in liquid phase. Two sampl...
