Abstract
This work is to systematically study the mercury-removal behavior of activated coke (AC), regeneration of spent AC by microwave treatment and subsequent recycling of Hg0. The powdery (AC) was obtained under coal-fired hot gas conditions in a drop-tube reactor. The adsorption mechanism and capacity of the AC for Hg0 removal in a H2O + SO2 + O2 atmosphere were investigated. The regeneration of the AC by microwave heating and recovery of Hg0 were studied. The results showed that this AC preparation method can greatly simplify the process, and the AC's large surface area, developed pore structure, and abundant functional groups played a key role in the adsorption of Hg0. The adsorption mechanism and the optimum reaction conditions were determined, with a highest average Hg0-adsorption efficiency of 91% obtained at 70 °C in 3 h. Desorption of Hg0 was also studied, in which the alkaline-functional-group content and pore structure were enhanced, and S was detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in microwave-regenerated AC, which could improve the Hg0 removal efficiency increased to 96% after five adsorption/desorption cycles. The Hg0 could subsequently be recovered from the desorbed gas by condensation with an efficiency of 87.4% using ice-water.

Abstract
The release of water soluble dyes into the environment is an utmost concern in many countries. This paper presents the effects of Ag2CO3-halloysite composites on the efficient removal of water soluble dyes. In this study, NaHCO3 solution was added dropwisely to halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) dispersed in aqueous AgNO3 to form Ag2CO3-HNTs composite. The synthesized Ag2CO3-HNTs composite was characterized with Diffused Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity and the adsorption capacity of Ag2CO3-HNTs on methylene blue and rhodamine b dyes were dependent on pH and the amount of HNTs used in the synthesis. The photodegradation efficiency of Ag2CO3 was lower when compared with that of the composite material. This observation is due to the reduction in the electron-hole recombination with the HNTs acting as electron trapping site and the enhanced aqueous dispersity of Ag2CO3-HNTs. The enhanced adsorption of water soluble dyes by the Ag2CO3-HNTs resulted from the electrostatic attraction of cationic dyes to the surface of the HNTs (negatively charged). The Ag2CO3-HNTs therefore removed dye pollutants through a combination of photocatalytic and adsorption processes. The results obtained during the study confirmed the potential application of Ag2CO3-HNTs composite in water treatment technologies.

Abstract
Novel LaFeO3/Ag2CO3 nanocomposites are synthesized by co-precipitation method for photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and p-chlorophenol under visible light irradiation. Heterostructures between LaFeO3 and Ag2CO3 semiconductors are formed during the synthesis of these nanocomposites. Among the nanocomposites prepared with different ratios of LaFeO3 and Ag2CO3, 1% LaFeO3/Ag2CO3 shows the highest photocatalytic activity for the degradation of RhB. Maximum electron-hole pair decoupling efficiency is observed in 1% LaFeO3/Ag2CO3, which causes the greater activity of the heterostructure. Degradation efficiency of 99.5% for RhB and 59% for p-chlorophenol has been obtained under natural sunlight within 45 min. Interestingly, the stability of Ag2CO3 is improved dramatically after making nanocomposite, and no decomposition of the catalyst was observed even after several photocatalytic cycles. Reactive oxygen species scavenging experiments with p-benzoquinone, isopropyl alcohol, and ammonium oxalate suggest that a major degradation process is caused by holes. Degradation of RhB into small organic moieties is detected using LC-MS technique. Further, the efficient mineralization of the degradation products occurs during the catalytic process.

Abstract
Elemental mercury (Hg0) emitted from coal-fired power plants and municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators has caused great harm to the environment and human beings. The strong oxidized •OH radicals produced by UV/H2O2 advanced oxidation processes were studied to investigate the performance of Hg0 removal from simulated flue gases. The results showed that when H2O2 concentration was 1.0 mol/L and the solution pH value was 4.1, the UV/H2O2 system had the highest Hg0 removal efficiency. The optimal reaction temperature was approximately 50 °C and Hg0 removal was inhibited when the temperature was higher or lower. The yield of •OH radicals during UV/H2O2 reaction was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. UV radiation was the determining factor to remove Hg0 in UV/H2O2 system due to •OH generation during H2O2 decomposition. SO2 had little influence on Hg0 removal whereas NO had an inhibitory effect on Hg0 removal. The detailed findings for Hg0 removal reactions over UV/H2O2 make it an attractive method for mercury control from flue gases.
