Abstract
MnxCoy/Zrz-AC prepared by impregnation method was investigated on the simultaneous removal of HCHO and Hg0. The samples were characterized by BET, SEM, XRD, H2 pulse chemisorption, H2-TPR, XPS, Hg-TPD and in-situ DRIFTS. Thereinto, the optimal Mn2/3Co8/Zr10-AC achieved 99.87% HCHO removal efficiency and 82.41% Hg0 removal efficiency at 240 °C, respectively. With increased surface area and pore volume, Zr-AC support facilitated higher dispersion of MnOx-CoOx. Moreover, the co-doping of MnOx-CoOx endowed the sample with more active oxygen species and higher reducibility, which further facilitated the removal of HCHO and Hg0. Chemisorption was proved to predominate in Hg0 removal, and oxidation also worked as Hg2+ was detected in outlet gas. Besides, HCHO predominated in the competition of active oxygen species, especially for lattice oxygen, thus suppressed the Hg0 removal. According to in-situ DRIFTS, HCHO removal proceeded as HCHOads → DOM → formate species → CO2 + H2O, and was boosted by active oxygen species. Furthermore, Mn2/3Co8/Zr10-AC was proved with excellent regeneration performance, indicating its potential in practical application.
