Spinel LiMn2O4was prepared using a sol–gel method to investigate gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) removal performance from coal-fired power plants. The physical and chemical characterization results indicated that LiMn2O4had a basic MnO6unit and Li ions in the spinel λ-MnO2structure. LiMn2O4exhibited better Hg0removal performance than that of pure Mn2O3and mixed oxides of Li2O–Mn2O3. Hg0removal efficiency of LiMn2O4was 93.09% (600 min reaction) at an optimum temperature of 150 °C. Higher temperature (>200 °C) was not favorable for Hg0removal. O2enhanced the Hg0removal efficiency of LiMn2O4, while SO2and H2O inhibited the reaction, and the co-existence of them had a poison effect on Hg0removal. The primary Hg0removal mechanism was chemical-adsorption, Hg0was firstly catalytic oxidized to Hg2+along with the reduction of high valance of Mn (Mn4+/Mn3+) to low valance (Mn3+/Mn2+). Hg2+was combined with adsorbed oxygen and existed as Hg–O on LiMn2O4surface. The existence of Li ions constructs a λ-MnO2structure and benefits the oxidation process. Furthermore, based on the Hg-TPD results, the desorption activation energy was 58.82 kJ/mol.
