Abstract
A novel diffusion electro-chemical combined advanced oxidation reactor offers potential for elemental mercury (Hg0) removal in flue gas and shown excellent performance. This study introduced an ultraviolet light into the electric catalytic system to form an UV-electric oxidation system to strengthen Hg0 removal. Hg0 removal efficiency in the combined UV-electric oxidation system reached up to 65%. Hg0 is excited by UV lamp with a wavelength of 253.7 nm, and a very small amount of oxygen contained in high-purity nitrogen can still participate in Hg0 oxidation reaction. In addition, the Fenton method has also been introduced into the simple electrolysis system. Both the above combined system can improve the efficiency of Hg0 removal. The electro-chemical GDE was characterized by SEM, BET, and contact angle and gas permeability. The electro-chemical and advanced oxidation process (Fenton method and UV illumination) combined within a system or individually in series were explored the different influencing factors. The gaseous elemental mercury removal mechanism of the combined electro-chemical and advanced oxidation was investigated via combining the experimental data and theoretical reasoning. Electrochemical coupling with other advanced oxidation technologies is a promising technology.
