[MoS] clusters were bridged between CoFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) layers using the ion-exchange method. [MoS]/CoFe-LDH showed excellent Hg removal performance under low and high concentrations of SO, highlighting the potential for such material in S-Hg mixed flue gas purification. The maximum mercury capacity was as high as 16.39 mg/g. The structure and physical-chemical properties of [MoS]/CoFe-LDH composites were characterized with FT-IR, XRD, TEM&SEM, XPS, and H-TPR. [MoS] clusters intercalated into the CoFe-LDH layered sheets; then, we enlarged the layer-to-layer spacing (from 0.622 to 0.880 nm) and enlarged the surface area (from 41.4 m/g to 112.1 m/g) of the composite. During the adsorption process, the interlayer [MoS] cluster was the primary active site for mercury uptake. The adsorbed mercury existed as HgS on the material surface. The absence of active oxygen results in a composite with high sulfur resistance. Due to its high efficiency and SO resistance, [MoS]/CoFe-LDH is a promising adsorbent for mercury uptake from S-Hg mixed flue gas.
A novel magnetic Fe-Ti-V spinel catalyst showed an excellent performance for elemental mercury capture at 100 °C, and the formed HgO can be catalytically decomposed by the catalyst at 300 °C to reclaim elemental mercury and regenerate the catalyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
