Removal of Elemental Mercury by Gas Phase Surface Discharge Plasma

Article Preview

Abstract:

The removal of elemental mercury (Hg0) with the reactive species produced by gas phase surface discharge plasma was studied. The effects of several operational parameters, such as applied voltage, inlet Hg0 concentration and gas humidity, were investigated. The removal of Hg0 was significantly promoted by an increase in the applied voltage of the reactor system. Hg0 oxidation efficiency decreases with increasing inlet Hg0 concentration. Furthermore, with the addition of H2O, Hg0 oxidation is remarkably restrained.
