Problems solved by technology

However, it has been found that the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate of metal sulfides to zero-valent mercury are still low, which is not enough to remove mercury from extremely high concentrations of Hg. 0 Completely remove zero-valent mercury from smelting flue gas
At the same time, after the metal sulfide absorbs zero-valent mercury, its surface active sites are lost, and its original mercury adsorption activity cannot be restored after one use, resulting in the need to consume a large amount of metal sulfide adsorbents to control the mercury in the flue gas. Zero-valent mercury emissions

Abstract

The invention relates to an activation and regeneration method for a metal sulfide mercury removal adsorbing agent. The activation and regeneration method comprises the following steps: moderately soaking a metal sulfide main body inside an activate fluid consisting of a cupric salt solution, and then separating, washing and drying to complete the activation for the adsorbing agent, and then usingthe adsorbing agent to adsorb mercury inside an airflow. After the adsorbing agent is inactivated due to adsorption and saturation for mercury, and the adsorbed mercury is released through thermal treatment, and resource recovery is carried out on the mercury. The adsorbing agent after thermal treatment is put in the activate fluid again for soaking to complete the regeneration of a metal sulfide. Compared with the prior art, besides the synthetic metal sulfide, low-cost natural metal sulfide ores can be directly used as the adsorbing agent main body. The mercury adsorption property of the metal sulfide can be greatly strengthened through activation, and simultaneously, the regeneration of the metal sulfide after mercury adsorption can be realized. The using amount of the adsorbing agentis greatly reduced while efficient trapping of flue gas mercury is realized, so that the consumption cost of the adsorbing agent and the implementation difficulty of adsorption mercury removal technology are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an adsorbent preparation method in the field of environmental protection, in particular to an adsorbent activation method capable of enhancing the mercury adsorption performance of metal sulfides. Background technique [0002] The Minamata Convention on Mercury, an international convention aimed at controlling global mercury pollution, came into force in 2017. As the world's largest mercury emitter, my country is facing severe pressure to implement the contract. Non-ferrous metal smelting is the most important source of atmospheric mercury emissions in my country, and it is also an industry that clearly requires mercury emission reduction in the Convention. Therefore, exploring efficient and economical mercury emission reduction technologies will provide strong technical support for my country to implement the mercury convention. [0003] Mercury in smelting flue gas mainly exists in three forms, namely gaseous zero-valent me...
