The KI-impregnated activated carbon (KI-AC) was synthesized to investigate its capacity for elemental mercury (Hg0) removal under the simulated flue gas. The Hg0removal performance is significantly promoted by KI loading. The effect of reaction temperature and activated carbon porosity on Hg0removal, and calculation on desorption activation energy of adsorbed mercury species were employed to identify the relationships between the physicochemical characteristics of the KI-AC and Hg0removal capacity. Raising the reaction temperature weakens the function of physisorption in the process of Hg0removal. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and desorption activation energy of the adsorbed mercury species analyses indicate that the Hg0removal occurs through a combination of physisorption and chemisorption, and the chemisorption dominates the reaction. In addition, the influences of flue gas components on Hg0removal over KI-AC were evaluated, and the adsorption mechanisms were proposed. Oxidation of I−ion by the presence of O2is the substantial reason that facilitates the Hg0removal. The Hg0removal performance is promoted by the generation of SO32−/SO42−and slightly frustrated by the competitive adsorption as well as consumption of I2molecules. Higher concentration of NO inhibits the generation of HgO products. However, the KI-AC sample remains highly active toward Hg0removal in the presence of NO because of the reaction with active N-containing groups. Additionally, the affinity capacities between Hg0and the various groups generated on the KI-AC follow the sequence: N → S-containing groups.
