Abstract:In order to reduce the emission of mercury from coal-fired flue gas, the adsorption state of iron-doped Hg, Cl and HgCl on the surface of MnO2 catalyst was studied based on density functional theory and first-principles calculation. The results show that the adsorption of Hg on MnO2 surface before and after Fe doping belongs to physical adsorption, while C and HgCl are both chemical adsorption, and the three adsorbents are preferentially adsorbed on the O adsorption sites of the MnO2 catalyst.
