Comparison of Mercury Removal Efficiency from a Simulated Exhaust Gas by Several Types of TiO2 under Various Light Sources 연세대학교 화학공학과 이 태 규 제4회 광촉매 연구회 2004년 2월 26일
Introduction Mercury • Toxic properties • High volatility • Tendency to bio-accumulate Emission resources • 80% of the total emission from the combustors (Coal Combustors, Waste Incinerators, etc.)
Introduction Hg Emissions Control Methods • Oxidized mercury can be captured relatively easily because of its high solubility in weak acidic solution • Elemental mercury is difficult to capture • Unusual non-reactivity compared to other metals • 5d106s2 closed shell electronic structure for Hg atom • extremely slow or no oxidation at high temperatures • possible oxidation by strong oxidants (NO2, Cl2)
Photocatalyst TiO2 high removal efficiency for low concentrations of toxic compounds Hg removal under UV light Introduction Hg removal by adsorbents Activated Carbon => most widely used disadvantage • Low applicable temperature range • Low regeneration rate & slow adsorption rate
Introduction UV light • high energy strength • harmful • development of improved photocatalysts activating • under the visible light!!! Intermediate step Hg removal using a TiO2 under thefluorescent light
Theory Hg capture by TiO2 Light Hg TiO2 HgO O 2 - O 2 - e H O 2 OH • + Hg HgO + + H TiO2(s) + light → TiO2·OH + Hg(g) → TiO2·HgO(complex)

Results XRD pattern of (TiO2-Hg) Complex
The removal efficiency was close to 100% under most light sources tested. More than 99% of initial Hg was removed under all the light sources tested except for the blue light still achieving a Hg removal efficiency close to 80%. High efficiency was achieved even under the low concentration. Easily maintainable and cost-effective fluorescent light can be used. Conclusion
Future Works • Verification of Hg adsorption mechanism under the visible light • Verification of Hg removal efficiency with crystallinity, surface area, and particle size • Hg removal by TiO2 directly coated on beads • Application of TiO2 coated ferro-powder to water treatment Hg removal by sunlight
