Experimental Study of the Effect of Fly Ash Particle Size on its Mercury Adsorption Capability in the Flue Gas

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, fly ash samples were collected from a coal-fired power in Shanghai. A series of experiments, including unburned carbon testing, mercury content measurement, SEM analysis, specific surface area, average pore size and pore volume test, were conducted, and the adsorption ability of the fly ash on the flue gas mercury was also experimentally studied. It has shown that fly ash with particle size bigger than 100µm is with the highest adsorption efficiency, 67.83%, and that fly ash with particle size smaller than 25µm is with the smallest adsorption efficiency, 13.67%. The relative mechanism was analyzed.
