The reusability Of Co3O4 (AC-Co), MnO2 (AC-Mn) and CuCoO4 (AC-CC) loaded activated carbon (AC) and their element mercury removal efficiency had been studied using a laboratory-scale fixed-bed reactor under simulated flue gas conditions. Tests showed that spent AC-Co could be regenerated through heating at 673 K under N-2 atmosphere and the enrichment regenerated Hg-0 could be collected to eliminate the secondary pollution. Regenerated AC-Mn and AC-CC's Hg-0 removal efficiency decreased greatly due to AC's decomposition and MnO2's crystal structure variation. Compared with AC and metal oxides, metal oxide-loaded AC had higher Hg-0 capture ability and capacity due to AC huge surface areas and lots of function groups. TGA analysis results showed that AC-Co and. AC-Mn's HgO adsorptive capacity at 523 K reached 19.8 mg g(-1) and 5.21 mg g(-1), respectively. High loading values and adsorption temperatures were beneficial to AC-Co's Hg-0 removal efficiency. However, CuCoO4 and MnO2's AC decomposition ability had negative effect on AC-CC and AC-Mn's performance, respectively, especially at high adsorption temperatures and loading values. SO2 tests showed that AC-CC had higher anti SO2-poisoning ability than AC-Co and AC-Mn. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
