Description of Publication:Nanostructured zinc sulfide (Nano-ZnS) has been demonstrated to be an efficient adsorbent for removal of elemental mercury (Hg0). However, the Hg0 removal performance deteriorates once the flue gas temperature deviates from the optimal temperature of 180 °C. In this study, ultraviolet (UV) light, which is generally generated through corona discharge in electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), was adopted to enhance Hg0 removal by Nano-ZnS. With the UV irradiation, Nano-ZnS exhibited excellent performance in Hg0 removal within a much wide temperature range from room temperature to 240 °C. A Hg0 removal efficiency of 99% was achieved at 60 °C even under extremely adverse conditions, i.e. gas flow with an extremely high gas hourly space velocity but without hydrogen chloride. Compared with commercial activated carbon, injection of Nano-ZnS can utilize the UV in ESPs to warrant a higher Hg0 removal efficiency within a much wider temperature range.
