Exploring the Pb retention mechanism during high-temperature coal combustion is beneficial for reducing the emission of Pb pollutants through fuel regulation. Herein, coheating experiments of ash and minerals with PbO/PbCl2were carried out. The enrichment characteristics of Pb, Na, K, and Ca were obtained through microarea composition analysis. It was determined that Pb was incorporated into the lattice of aluminosilicates by the isomorphous substitution for Na, K, and Ca. Density functional theory calculations were performed to obtain the substitution reaction paths of PbO and PbCl2on the (0 0 1) surfaces of KAlSi3O8, NaAlSi3O8, and Ca2Al2SiO7. The reaction steps included the adsorption of PbO/PbCl2, breaking of the Na–O/K–O/Ca–O/Pb–O bonds, atomic displacement, and formation of new bonds. The rate-determining steps were breaking of Na–O, K–O, Ca–O, and Pb–O bonds. The energy barrier of Pb in PbCl2substituted with K was the lowest at 34.60 kJ mol–1. Density of states analysis showed that the adsorption of PbCl2could reduce the bonding strength of Na–O and Ca–O, making it easier for Na and Ca to detach from the lattice structure and reduce the energy barrier. The order of the reaction energy barriers of the different metals substituted with Pb was K < Ca < Na. The isomorphic substitution reaction of Pb for K is most likely to occur; thus, Pb in coal combustion products is mostly enriched in K-aluminosilicate. The results can provide theoretical support for understanding the transformation of Pb in coal-fired systems and optimizing emission control technologies such as coal blending and mineral addition.
