Effect of Al2O3 doping on the structure and performance of an Al2O3/Fe2O3 catalyst for mercury oxidation

In this study,the thermal stability of a Fe2 O3 catalyst for mercury oxidation was significantly improved by doping with Al2 O3.After 1 hr,the catalyst doped with 10 wt.%Al2 O3 still exhibited a mercury conversion efficiency of 70.9%,while the undoped sample even lost its catalytic activity.Doping with Al2 O3 retarded the collapse of the catalyst mesoporous structure during high-temperature calcination,and the doped samples maintained a higher specific surface area,smaller pore size,and narrower pore size distribution.Transmission electron microscope images revealed that after calcination at 350℃,the average size of the catalyst grains in Fe2 O3 was 23.4 nm;however,the corresponding values for 1%Al2 O3/Fe2 O3,3%Al2 O3/Fe2 O3,and 10%Al2 O3/Fe2 O3 were only 13.3,7.1,and 4.7 nm,respectively.Results obtained from X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry coupled with differential scanning calorimetry confirmed that doping with Al2 O3 also retards the crystallization of the catalysts at high temperature,constraining catalyst grains to a smaller size.

Role of NO in Hg^0 oxidation over a commercial selective catalytic reduction catalyst V_2O_5–WO_3/TiO_2

Experiments were conducted in a fixed-bed reactor that contained a commercial catalyst,V2O5-WO3/TiO2,to investigate mercury oxidation in the presence of NO and O2.Mercury oxidation was improved by NO,and the efficiency was increased by simultaneously adding NO and O2.With NO and O2 pretreatment at 350°C,the catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity for Hg^0 oxidation,whereas NO pretreatment did not exert a noticeable effect.Decreasing the reaction temperature boosted the performance of the catalyst treated with NO and O2.Although NO promoted Hg^0 oxidation at the very beginning,excessive NO counteracted this effect.The results show that NO plays different roles in Hg^0oxidation; NO in the gaseous phase may directly react with the adsorbed Hg^0,but excessive NO hinders Hg^0 adsorption.The adsorbed NO was converted into active nitrogen species（e.g.,NO2） with oxygen,which facilitated the adsorption and oxidation of Hg^0.Hg^0 was oxidized by NO mainly by the Eley-Rideal mechanism.The Hg^0 temperature-programmed desorption experiment showed that weakly adsorbed mercury species were converted to strongly bound ones in the presence of NO and O2.

Mercury removal from coal combustion flue gas by modified fly ash

Fly ash is a potential alternative to activated carbon for mercury adsorption. The effects of physicochemical properties on the mercury adsorption performance of three fly ash samples were investigated. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and other methods were used to characterize the samples. Results indicate that mercury adsorption on fly ash is primarily physisorption and chemisorption. High specific surface areas and small pore diameters are beneficial to efficient mercury removal. Incompletely burned carbon is also an important factor for the improvement of mercury removal efficiency, in particular. The C-M bond, which is formed by the reaction of C and Ti, Si and other elements, may improve mercury oxidation. The samples modified with CuBr2 , CuCl 2 and FeCl3 showed excellent performance for Hg removal, because the chlorine in metal chlorides acts as an oxidant that promotes the conversion of elemental mercury （Hg0） into its oxidized form （Hg2＋）. Cu2＋ and Fe3＋ can also promote Hg 0 oxidation as catalysts. HCl and O2 promote the adsorption of Hg by modified fly ash, whereas SO2 inhibits the Hg adsorption because of competitive adsorption for active sites. Fly ash samples modified with CuBr2 , CuCl2 and FeCl3 are therefore promising materials for controlling mercury emissions.

Mechanism of Hg^0 oxidation in the presence of HCl over a commercial V_2O_5–WO_3/TiO_2 SCR catalyst

Experiments were conducted in a fixed-bed reactor containing a commercial V2O5/WO3/TiO2 catalyst to investigate mercury oxidation in the presence of HCl and O2. Mercury oxidation was improved significantly in the presence of HCl and O2, and the Hg^0 oxidation efficiencies decreased slowly as the temperature increased from 200 to 400℃. Upon pretreatment with HCl and O2 at 350℃, the catalyst demonstrated higher catalytic activity for Hg^0 oxidation. Notably,the effect of pretreatment with HCl alone was not obvious. For the catalyst treated with HCl and O2, better performance was observed with lower reaction temperatures. The results showed that both HCl and Hg^0 were first adsorbed onto the catalyst and then reacted with O2 following its adsorption, which indicates that the oxidation of Hg^0 over the commercial catalyst followed the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. Several characterization techniques, including Hg^0temperature-programmed desorption（Hg-TPD） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）, were employed in this work. Hg-TPD profiles showed that weakly adsorbed mercury species were converted to strongly bound species in the presence of HCl and O2. XPS patterns indicated that new chemisorbed oxygen species were formed by the adsorption of HCl, which consequently facilitated the oxidation of mercury.

Role of NO and SO_(2)in mercury oxidation over a La_(2)O_(3)/Fe_(2)O_(3)catalyst with high thermal stability

In this study,the thermal stability of a ferric oxide catalyst for mercury oxidation was found to be considerably promoted by doping with La_(2)O_(3).The catalysts doped with La_(2)O_(3)maintained a higher surface area when subjected to high-temperature calcination,with lower average pore size and a narrower pore size distribution.X-ray diffraction(XRD)results revealed that La_(2)O_(3)doping hinders the growth of catalyst particles and crystallization of the material at high temperatures.Both NO and SO_(2)inhibited Hg^(0)oxidation over the La_(2)O_(3)/Fe_(2)O_(3)catalyst.Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectra revealed that SO_(2)reacts with O_(2)over the catalysts to form several species that are inert for mercury oxidation,such as S042^(-),HS04^(-),or other related species;these inert species cover the catalyst surface and consequently decrease Hg^(0)oxidation capacity.In addition,NO or SO_(2)competed with Hg^(0)for active sites on the La_(2)O_(3)/Fe_(2)O_(3)catalyst and hindered the adsorption of mercury,thereby inhibiting subsequent Hg^(0)oxidation.Hg^(0)oxidation on the La_(2)O_(3)/Fe_(2)O_(3)catalyst mainly followed the Eley-Rideal mechanism.Moreover,the inhibition effects of NO and SO_(2)were at least partially reversible,and the catalytic activity was temporarily restored after eliminating NO or S0_(2).
