Wet process of elemental mercury removal using Ag@AgCl-BiOCl photocatalyst under fluorescent light irradiation
A series of Ag@AgCl-BiOCl photocatalysts were synthesized by a coprecipitation-photoreduction method and characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption
scanning electron microscope (SEM)
X-ray diffraction (XRD)
UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS)
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron spin resonance (ESR) techniques to understand their physical-chemical structures. The effects of AgCl content
pH value
reaction temperature
SO2 and NO on the activities of elemental mercury (Hg0) removal were carried out in a wet Hg0 bubbling reactor under fluorescent light (FSL) irradiation. The results showed that a much higher Hg0 removal efficiency was obtained when the molar ratio of Ag to Bi was equal to 0.2 in the Ag@AgCl-BiOCl sample. With increasing pH value and reaction temperature
the Hg0 removal efficiency over Ag@AgCl(0.2)-BiOCl under FSL irradiation became gradually worse. Compared with SO2
NO showed a significant inhibitation on Hg0 removal. The mechanism analysis indicated that superoxide radicals (·O2-)
holes (h+)
hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and chlorine radicals (·Cl) could be reactive species in the photocatalytic process of Hg0 removal
and in particular the ·O2- played key role in Hg0 removal.
