Heterogeneous Reaction Mechanisms and Functional Materials for Elemental Mercury Removal from Industrial Flue Gas

Gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) is of increasing concern in industrial flue gases because of its difficult disposal. Currently, catalysis conversion and adsorption to oxidized species (Hg2+) and particle-bonded states (Hgp) are two common Hg0 disposal methods. While no clear boundary exists between these methods, the selection of technologies for practical applications highly depends on the gas temperature, mercury concentration, and gas...
