Two kinds of bio-chars derived from seaweed, such as sargassum and enteromorpha, are modified by halides impregnation. The modified bio-chars are used to capture Hg-0 from simulated flue gas. The physical and chemical properties of the samples are investigated by various characterization technologies, including proximate and ultimate analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of different types of halides impregnation, halide loading values, individual flue gas component and adsorption temperature on removal of Hg-0 over adsorbents were studied. The mechanism and kinetics of Hg-0 removal were also studied. The results show that potassium iodide modified biochars have better Hg-0 adsorption performance than bio-chars modified by potassium chloride and potassium bromide. The optimal potassium iodide loading value is 3 wt%. As the reaction temperature increases, Hg-0 removal efficiency significantly increases. O-2 promotes the Hg-0 removal. Addition of SO2 inhibits Hg-0 removal over enteromorpha-chars, and shows a double impact on Hg-0 removal over sargassum-chars. Low concentrations of NO and H2O are beneficial to Hg-0 removal, whereas high concentrations of NO and H2O inhibit Hg-0 removal. Chemisorption is found to be the main control factor for Hg-0 adsorption at 120 degrees C and 160 degrees C based on kinetic simulation analysis. The covalent groups (C-I) and the chemisorbed oxygen and/or weakly bonded oxygen species participate in the Hg-0 removal process and are the dominant chemical adsorption sites on the suface of the iodide modified seaweed bio-chars.
