Recyclable Naturally Derived Magnetic Pyrrhotite for Elemental Mercury Recovery from Flue Gas

Abstract: Magnetic pyrrhotite, derived from the thermal treatment of natural pyrite, was developed as a recyclable sorbent to recover elemental mercury (Hg) from the flue gas as a cobenefit of wet electrostatic precipitators (WESP). The performance of naturally derived pyrrhotite for Hg capture from the flue gas was much better than those of other reported magnetic sorbents, for example Mn-Fe spinel and Mn-Fe-Ti spinel. The rate of pyrrhotite for gaseous Hg capture at 60 °C was 0.28 μg g min and its capacity was 0.22 mg… Show more

“…MPy-600 does not show superparamagnetism, and the permanent magnetization is as low as 4.278 emu/g. The saturation magnetization of MPy-600 after adsorption decreases to 12 emu/g [20,34]. Thus, the magnetic property of MPy-600 guarantees the convenient magnetic separation from the aqueous solution in adsorption applications.…”

“…When taking these two points into consideration, the mineral sulfides (MSs) were recognized as the most promising alternatives to ACs since their surfaces were “fully” covered by highly reactive sulfide sites. [7b] However, the research on Hg 0 adsorption over MSs seemed to reach its upper limit recently with the highest equilibrium adsorption capacity reaching around 0.1 g Hg 0 g −1 MSs . This is far less than the theoretical molar 1:1 ratio of Hg 0 /S 2− value since inevitable agglomeration occurred on the unsupported mineral sulfides, which thus hinders the contacts between the active sites and Hg 0 .…”
