The invention relates to a method for purifying and recycling mercury in
flue gas, wherein the method is applicable to mercury
desorption from
coal-fired
flue gas, and mercury purification and recycling from mercury-contained
flue gas in nonferrous industries and belongs to the fields of
atmospheric pollution control technologies and heavy
metal pollution control. The method comprises the following steps: immerging
activated carbon fiber in a 15-45wt%
phosphoric acid solution or
zinc chloride solution or
ammonium salt solution for 12-24 hours, and then taking out the immerged activated carbonfiber, and airing the immerged
activated carbon fiber for standby; adding the dried
activated carbon fiber into a prepared 0.001-1 mg / L sliver-contained
ion solution, agitating for 4-24 hours in a thermostatic water bath, filtering out the solution, flushing the activated carbon fiber repeatedly by using de-ionized water, filtering out the solution, flushing the activated carbon fiber repeatedly by using
distilled water, and then
drying the flushed activated carbon fiber at 50-105 DEG C in vacuum; regenerating the activated carbon fiber by using low-temperature
plasma after the prepared silver-loaded activated carbon fiber is saturated with adsorbed mercury; and further recycling the volatilized mercurial vapor which enters a condenser, and flows back to a
storage tank after being condensed. The method for purifying and recycling the mercury in the
flue gas has the effects of rapidness, high efficiency, and low loss of carbon for the mercury
desorption; and in addition, the mercurial vapor is reused by means of condensation and recycling.
