AMn2O4(A= Cu, Ni and Zn) spinel sorbents synthesized by a low-temperature sol-gel auto-combustion method were for the first time used to eliminate elemental mercury (Hg0) from syngas. CuMn2O4sorbent exhibits the highest Hg0adsorption performance under simulated syngas, higher than 95 % Hg0capture efficiency is obtained at 200 °C. Adsorption-regeneration experiments demonstrate that the regenerability of CuMn2O4is excellent. The influences of syngas compositions on Hg0elimination over CuMn2O4were examined. H2S plays the most important role in Hg0removal from syngas, which can be adsorbed on CuMn2O4surface and transformed into active sulfur species to react with Hg0to form surface-bonded HgS. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) experiments prove that HgS is formed on the spent sorbent. The surface Cu2+cations and chemisorbed/lattice oxygens participate in Hg0adsorption and transformation. HCl promotes Hg0removal by forming surface active chlorine species. H2, CO, and H2O inhibit Hg0removal under N2atmosphere. However, they exhibit no obvious effect on Hg0removal with the assistance of H2S. The excellent Hg0capture performance, good regenerability and H2O resistance of CuMn2O4make it to be a very promising sorbent for Hg0removal from syngas at higher temperature.
