Abstract:Based on the first principles of density functional theory (DFT), Materials Studio software was used to calculate and simulate the adsorption state of Hg0, Cl and HgCl on the MnO2(110) surface before and after Ce-doping in the process of flue gas catalytic mercury removal. The results show that both Hg0 and Cl are preferentially adsorbed on the surface of oxygen-containing sites towards MnO2 (110) before and after towards.The bond length formed after doping is larger,indicating that doping is beneficial to the increase of the activity of the reaction system. When HgCl is adsorbed, both before and after the Ce-doping, whether it is adsorbed at the Hg end or at the Cl end.It is chemical adsorption, and the Hg end is adsorbed on the O site more stable.Moreover, when the Hg end adsorption occurs,the bond energy of HgCl is greater than the newly formed bond energy, which is conducive to the further reaction of HgCl as a whole with Cl to generate the final product HgCl2.
