MGOAg shows the best Hg 0 removal performance and thermal tolerance among the four types of adsorbents developed, which can effectively capture Hg 0 up to 150-200 C in a simulated flue gas environment and can be also effectively recycled and reused. Our results indicate that the graphene oxide based composites (i.e. MGO-Ag) have significant potential applications for mercury emission control in coalfired power plants.
