In order to get a cost effective and recyclable sorbent for mercury removal, a series of magnetic ironcarbon (Fe-C-x) sorbents was developed by co-precipitation. The physical and chemical properties of obtained sorbents were evaluated through various characterization methods. According to the results, Fe3O4 precipitate on carbon weakens the surface properties, but mercury removal performance in simulated flue gas is excellent. For flue gas components, HCI promotes mercury oxidation and adsorption on sorbents, O-2 has limited effect on mercury removal and SO2 plays an inhibitive role. NO could enhance mercury oxidation with O-2 existence because of the generation of NO2 , which could react with Hg-0 through heterogeneous reaction over iron-carbon surface. Besides, effects of temperature and regeneration performance were further researched under simulated flue gas. Apart from higher temperature will decompose mercury compounds and cause the removal efficiency decrease, Fe-C-3 sorbent shows excellent Hg-0 removal performance at the temperature window of 100-200 degrees C. Exceptional regeneration performance on Hg-0 removal indicates that spent sorbent could be regenerated. (C) 2020 Energy Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
