Study on the Removal of Mercury in the Simulated Flue Gas by Biomass Activated Carbon

Abstract:

This paper mainly studied the removal of Hg by biomass activated carbon in the simulated flue gas. Biomass activated carbon of different materials were made through the control of activator concentration, activation temperature in the self-developed biomass preparation system. In the fixed bed system, the flue gas Hg removal efficiency of activated carbon samples were evaluated. The experimental results showed that the adsorption performance of biomass activated carbon was not proportional with the change of the activator concentration and activation temperature, the overall trend was firstly increased and then decreased.
