Different roles of FeS and FeS 2 on magnetic FeS x for the selective adsorption of Hg 2+ from waste acids in smelters: Reaction mechanism, kinetics, and structure-activity relationship. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 349:140917. [PMID: 38070609 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140917] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
Magnetic FeSx was developed as a high-performance sorbent for selectively adsorbing Hg2+ from waste acids in smelters. However, further improvement of its ability for Hg2+ adsorption was extremely restricted due to the lack of reaction mechanisms and structure-activity relationships. In this study, the roles of FeS and FeS2 on magnetic FeSx for Hg2+ adsorption were investigated with alternate adsorption of Hg2+ without/with Cl-. The structure-activity relationship of magnetic FeSx for Hg2+ adsorption and the negative effect of acid erosion were elucidated using kinetic analysis. FeS can react with Hg2+ with 1:1 stoichiometric ratio to form HgS, while FeS2 can react with Hg2+ in the presence of Cl- with novel 1:3 stoichiometric ratio to form Hg3S2Cl2. The rate of magnetic FeSx for Hg2+ adsorption was related to the instantaneous amounts of FeS and threefold FeS2 on magnetic FeSx and the amount of Hg2+ adsorbed. Meanwhile, its capacity for Hg2+ adsorption was related to the initial sum of FeS amount and threefold FeS2 amount on the surface and their ratios by acid erosion. Then, magnetic FeSx-400 was devised with adsorption rate of 2.12 mg g-1 min-1 and capacity of 1092 mg g-1 to recover Hg2+ from waste acids for centralized control.

Abstract
Hot flue gas evaporation technology is an effective strategy for zero liquid discharge of desulfurization wastewater. However, there is a potential risk that heavy metals such as Hg may be released from the wastewater during evaporation, disrupting the original balance of the power plant or even exceeding the Hg emission standard. Wastewater evaporation and Hg release behavior were obtained using a single droplet drying system. At an evaporation temperature of 300 °C, approximately 18.5% of Hg was released in the constant wet-bulb temperature period, and the remaining was released in the following evaporation periods. Furthermore, a fixed-bed experiment, in combination with density functional theory calculations, was used to investigate the possible migration mechanisms of released Hg. The results revealed that high HCl concentration, introduced fly ash, and precipitated evaporation products play a crucial role in the fate of Hg, and 85.3% of Hg finally turned into less harmful particulate-bound Hg. This study provides a new and effective strategy for evaluating the migration process of pollutants in wastewater treatment. Moreover, it will serve as an essential reference for advanced wastewater treatment and heavy metals control technologies in the future.

Simultaneously efficient adsorption and highly selective separation of U(VI) and Th(IV) by surface-functionalized lignin nanoparticles: A novel pH-dependent process. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 443:130123.

Abstract
The simultaneous removal and selective separation of U(VI) and Th(IV) via adsorption remain challenging due to their strong mobility, reactivity, and similar chemical properties. Thus, a surface-functioned lignin nanoparticle (AL-PEI) was synthesized to adsorb U(VI)/Th(IV) in a unitary system via a pH-dependent process. In alkaline solution, AL-PEI exhibited excellent adsorption performance, and the maximum adsorption capacities for U(VI) and Th(IV) reached 392 and 396 mg/g, respectively. Discrepantly in acidic solution, the adsorption performance of AL-PEI for U(VI) could still reach a high capacity (332 mg/g), whereas highly limited adsorption capacity (less than 40 mg/g) for Th(IV) was obtained, and the separation factor of U(VI) from U(VI)-Th(IV) matrix significantly reached 6662 in 3 M of the HNO3 medium. The simultaneously efficient adsorption in alkaline solution and highly selective separation performance in acidic solution of AL-PEI also showed excellent anti-ions interference capacities, high reusability, and strong stability. This study is the first to apply lignin fabricating radiation-resistant adsorbent material, and the adsorbent displays good performance for U(VI)/Th(IV) removal and selective separation via a novel pH-dependent process, which is important to the green and sustainable development of nuclear energy and environmental protection.

Abstract
Recently, sulfureted metal oxides have been developed for the catalytic oxidation of Hg0 to HgCl2 using HCl as an oxidant at low temperatures, and they exhibit excellent Hg0 removal performance. Owing to the lack of reaction mechanisms and kinetics, further improvement in their performance for Hg0 conversion is extremely restricted. In this study, the reaction mechanism of Hg0 conversion over sulfureted HPMo/γ-Fe2O3 with HCl at low temperatures was investigated using Hg balance analysis and transient reaction. The chemical adsorption of Hg0 as HgS and the catalytic oxidation of Hg0 to HgCl2 both contributed to Hg0 conversion over sulfureted HPMo/γ-Fe2O3. Meanwhile, the formed HgCl2 can adsorb onto sulfureted HPMo/γ-Fe2O3. Then, the kinetics of Hg0 conversion, Hgt adsorption, and HgCl2 desorption were developed, and the kinetic parameters were gained by fitting the Hg balance curves. Subsequently, the inhibition mechanism of H2O and SO2 on Hg0 conversion over sulfureted HPMo/γ-Fe2O3 was determined by comparing the kinetic parameters. The kinetic model suggested that both HgCl2 resulting from Hg0 oxidation and unoxidized Hg0 can be completely adsorbed on sulfureted HPMo/γ-Fe2O3 with a moderate mass hourly space velocity. Therefore, sulfureted HPMo/γ-Fe2O3 can be developed as a reproducible sorbent for recovering Hg0 emitted from coal-fired power plants.

Abstract
Active oxygen species (AOS) play an essential role in modulating the activity of activated coke (AC) based samples. In this paper, AC was endowed with abundant AOS by modifying with (NH4)2S2O8 and MnOx-FeOx for Hg0 removal. (NH4)2S2O8 treatment induced abundant micropores and oxygen-containing functional groups, and thus provided more anchoring sites for the dispersion of MnOx-FeOx. The synergy of MnOx-FeOx and interaction between MnOx-FeOx and NAC support contributed to a larger surface area, highly-dispersed active components, stronger reducibility, and more metal ions with high valence of MnFe/NAC. The optimal MnFe/NAC exhibited superior Hg0 removal efficiency above 90% at 120∼180 ℃, as well as excellent performance for simultaneous removal of Hg0 and NO, and 600 ppm SO2 and 8 vol.% H2O addition led to a slight deterioration. XPS and Hg-TPD revealed that mercury adsorbed on MnFe/NAC included phy-Hg, C=O-Hg, COO-Hg, and OL-HgO. Besides, the priority of AOS for Hg0 chemisorption was C=O > COO- > OL, and Hg2+ was also detected in the outlet. Moreover, the SO2-poisoning effect was ascribed to the sulfation of MnOx and the occupation of COO- and C=O, and FeOx incorporation enhanced the SO2-resistance through weakening SO2 adsorption on C=O and COO-. The motivation of O2 mainly contributed to the regeneration of AOS, especially OL. The excellent regeneration performance and stability further affirmed the application potential of MnFe/NAC for Hg0 capture from coal-fired flue gas.

Abstract
In coal-combustion energy production, presence of water vapor in flue gas causes catalyst deactivation and leads to the release of large quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this study, design of a low-temperature, hydrophobic catalyst for flue gas purification was achieved by modifying support material with inorganic siloxane. Introduction of 5% water vapor into simulated flue gas at 300 °C reduced oxidation efficiency for o-xylene removal by 26% with unmodified MnOx/γ-Al2O3 catalyst, whereas with modified catalyst MnOx-Si0.9/γ-Al2O3 oxidation efficiency was reduced by only 5%. MnOx-Si0.9/γ-Al2O3 exhibited stable catalytic efficiency for o-xylene gas oxidation containing water vapor for over 200 min. Water-resistance of the catalyst was effective for removal of multi-coal combustion pollutants (Hg0 and NO) and moreover, hydrophobicity of the catalyst led to a reduction in surface sulfate deposition, thereby lowering toxicity of SO2 from simulated flue gas. DRIFTS analysis showed that the hydrophobic catalyst surface not only reduces water adsorption, but also promotes water volatilization. Based on molecular adsorption energies, catalyst support modification with siloxane inhibits water adsorption and promotes organic adsorption and thus provides a new strategy for preparing water-resistant catalysts for flue gas purification.

Abstract
FeMoSx/TiO2 was investigated as a regenerable sorbent to simultaneously adsorb Hg0 and Hg(II) from coal-fired flue gas for the centralized control of Hg pollution discharged from coal-fired power plants. The performance of FeMoSx/TiO2 for Hg(II) and/or Hg0 adsorption was evaluated on a fixed-bed reactor at 80 oC, and the mutual interference between Hg0 adsorption and Hg(II) adsorption was analyzed using individual adsorption, simultaneous adsorption, and two-stage adsorption. FeMoSx/TiO2 displayed an excellent capacity for individual Hg0 adsorption (41.8 mg g-1) and a moderate capacity for individual Hg(II) adsorption (0.48 mg g-1). Two types of adsorption sites were present on FeMoSx/TiO2 for gaseous Hg adsorption (S0 and FeS2/MoS3 sites). X-ray photoelectron spectroscope and kinetic analyses demonstrated that Hg0 and Hg(II) could adsorb onto S0 sites, whereas only Hg0 was adsorbed onto FeS2/MoS3 sites. As Hg0 competed with Hg(II) for the S0 sites, the amount of Hg(II) adsorbed slightly decreased by 16% in the presence of Hg0. However, Hg0 adsorption onto the FeS2/MoS3 sites predominated over the Hg0 adsorption onto FeMoSx/TiO2 and it was not inhibited in the presence of Hg(II). Therefore, the amount of Hg0 adsorbed on FeMoSx/TiO2 was only decreased by 2% in the presence of Hg(II).

Abstract
The crystal structure of TiO2 strongly influences the physiochemical properties of supported active sites and thus the catalytic performance of the as-synthesized catalyst. Herein, we synthesized TiO2 with different crystal forms (R = rutile, A = anatase, and B = brookite), which were used as supports to prepare vanadium-based catalysts for Hg0 oxidation. The Hg0 oxidation efficiency over V2O5/TiO2-B was the best, followed by V2O5/TiO2-A and V2O5/TiO2-R. Further experimental and theoretical results indicate that gaseous Hg0 reacts with surface-active chlorine species produced by the adsorbed HCl and the reaction orders of Hg0 oxidation over V2O5/TiO2 catalyst with respect to HCl and Hg0 concentration were approximately 0 and 1, respectively. The excellent Hg0 oxidation efficiency over V2O5/TiO2-B can be attributed to lower redox temperature, larger HCl adsorption capacity, and more oxygen vacancies. This work suggests that to achieve the best simultaneous removal of NOx and Hg0 on state-of-the-art V2O5/TiO2 catalyst, a combination of anatase and brookite TiO2-supported vanadyl tandem catalysts is supposed to be employed in the SCR reactor, and the brookite-type catalyst should be on the downstream of the anatase-based catalyst due to the inhibition of NH3 on Hg0 oxidation.

Abstract
CeO2/TiO2 catalyst is a promising material for realizing the integration of denitrification and mercury removal to reduce mercury emissions. Oxidation mechanism of Hg0 on CeO2/TiO2 (001) surface in the presence of HCl and O2 was studied by density functional theory (DFT). The results indicated that Hg0 was physically adsorbed on CeO2/TiO2 (001) surface. As an important intermediate, HgCl was adsorbed on the surface of CeO2/TiO2 (001) utilizing enhanced chemisorption, while the adsorption energy of HgCl2 was only -57.05 kJ/mol. In the absence of HCl, mercury oxidation followed the Mars-Maessen mechanism with a relatively high energy barrier, and the product (HgO) was difficult to desorb, which hindered the reaction process. When HCl existed, reactive chlorine (Cl*) would be produced by the dissociation of HCl, and the mercury oxidation would follow the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. The co-existence of HCl and O2 had no significant effect on the adsorption of Hg0, but reduced the reaction energy barrier and the final product (HgCl2) was more easily desorbed from the catalyst surface. In addition, two complete cyclic reaction pathways for catalytic oxidation of Hg0 on CeO2/TiO2 (001) surface were constructed to clarify the detailed reaction process.

Abstract
The removal performance of NO and Hg0, the operating temperature window, and the resistance of SO2 and H2O on Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst, which was synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method with manganese oxide as the active component, were improved by doping different molar ratios of Co/Ce. Co and Ce doping increased the content of Mn4+ as well as of chemisorbed oxygen and promoted the NO and Hg0 removal performance, which reached 96.7 and 98.9%, respectively, in flue gas over the 1Co-1Ce/Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst. Furthermore, with SO2 and H2O addition, it decreased slightly to 88.4 and 89.3%, respectively, and then remained stable. The coexistence of SO2 and H2O had a synergistic poisoning effect on the activity of the catalyst, while the doping of Co and Ce had a positive influence on the tolerance to SO2 and H2O. The excellent anti-interference and high performance of the 1Co-1Ce/Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst in the abominable flue gas were mainly due to the outer surface modification of organosilane and because the sacrificial element Co protected the active sites of Ce and Mn from poisoning, which prevented the redox ability of the catalyst from getting affected.

Abstract
In this work, sulfureted phosphotungstic acid-grafted γ-Fe2O3 (HPW/γ-Fe2O3) was investigated as a regenerable monolithic sorbent to recover gaseous Hg0 upstream of wet flue gas desulfurizations (FGDs), and the effects of HCl, SO2, and H2O on the chemical adsorption of Hg0 onto sulfureted HPW/γ-Fe2O3 were investigated with Hg balance analysis and kinetic analysis. Hg0 conversion over sulfureted HPW/γ-Fe2O3 was remarkably promoted in the presence of HCl, and most Hg0 was catalytically oxidized to HgCl2. Moreover, the chemical adsorption of Hg0 was notably restrained as the key species for Hg0 transformation to HgS (i.e., S22-) was rapidly oxidized by Cl*. However, the effect of HCl on Hg0 conversion over sulfureted HPW/γ-Fe2O3 was almost counteracted by H2O and SO2 as they competed with physically adsorbed Hg0 and S22- for the consumption of Cl*. Therefore, the chemical adsorption of Hg0 onto sulfureted HPW/γ-Fe2O3 in the presence of SO2 and H2O was slightly inhibited by HCl, and only a small amount of HgCl2 was formed. Moreover, sulfureted HPW/γ-Fe2O3 exhibited a moderate ability for gaseous HgCl2 adsorption. As a result, sulfureted HPW/γ-Fe2O3 showed excellent performance in recovering Hg0 from the flue gas upstream of the FGDs for the centralized control of Hg0 emitted from coal-fired plants.
