The invention provides a method for removing mercury in
flue gas by use of a waste desulfurizer after being used for recycling elemental
sulfur, and relates to an environment-friendly treatment method in which a heat-treated waste
ferric oxide desulfurizer is used as a
coal-fired
flue gas mercury remover. According to the method comprises, rich elemental
sulfur in the waste desulfurizer is recycled by use of carrier gas under a heating condition, wherein based on the total amount of the waste desulfurizer, the content of the total
sulfur in the waste
ferric oxide desulfurizer in 17wt%-21wt%, and the content of the elemental sulfur in the waste
ferric oxide desulfurizer is 6wt%-7wt%; the condition that pores of the desulfurizer are blocked by the elemental sulfur is improved. The content of the elemental sulfur in the heat-treated waste desulfurizer is 1-2wt%; the heat-treated waste ferric oxide desulfurizer has the excellent activity to zero-valence mercury, and is capable of finally converting adsorbed mercury into stabilized mercury
sulfide. The method for removing the mercury in the
flue gas by use of the waste desulfurizer after being used for recycling the elemental sulfur is used for solving the problem of recycling the waste desulfurizer; as a result, a
sulfur product can be obtained, and furthermore, an efficient and cheap
waste gas mercury remover is found out, and the environment protection treatment cost can be reduced.
