摘要
针对燃煤电厂汞污染物排放控制的问题,以尿素为前驱体,通过直接热聚合法制得绒毛状石墨相氮化碳(gC_3N_4),并用于低温条件下吸附脱除单质汞(Hg~0)。利用透射电子显微镜(TEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、氮气吸附-脱附、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)等手段对吸附剂进行表征。结果表明:未改性g-C_3N_4具有良好的低温脱汞活性,在120°C时其脱汞效率可达84.7%;CuCl_2改性可以有效提高g-C_3N_4的脱汞性能,其脱汞效率在40~200°C范围内均可达到97%以上;温度对吸附剂脱汞效率的影响较小。XPS表征测试结果表明,铜离子和共价态氯原子均参与了单质汞的吸附脱除反应,Hg~0被Cu~(2+)离子和共价态Cl原子氧化成了Hg~(2+)离子,再吸附于g-C_3N_4表面而脱除。CO_2、SO_2和水蒸气对吸附剂脱汞效率影响较小,但水蒸气可提高汞吸附量。
To control the mercury emission from the coal-fired power plants,villous graphitic carbon nitride(gC_3N_4)was synthesized via direct thermal polymerization of the precursor of urea,and it was used to adsorption removal of elemental mercury(Hg~0) at low temperature.The sorbents were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)techniques.The results showed that pristine g-C_3N_4 performs well toward Hg~0 adsorption with Hg~0 removal efficiency of up to 84.7%at 120°C.CuCl_2 modification could effectively improve the Hg~0 removal performance of g-C_3N_4,and its Hg~0 removal efficiency could approach above 97%at 40~200°C.Temperature had a slight impact on Hg~0 removal efficiency.XPS analysis indicated that both copper ions and covalent chlorine atoms participated in elemental mercury adsorption removal reaction,in which Hg~0 was oxidized into Hg~(2+)by Cu~(2+) ions and covalent Cl atoms,and then Hg~(2+) was adsorbed on g-C_3N_4 surface for removal.CO_2,SO_2and water vapor had slight effects on Hg~0removal efficiency,whereas water vapor could improve mercury adsorption capacity.
