[0002] At present, the main method for separating mercury from waste mercury-containing catalysts in China is oxidation distillation, but the distillation temperature is high and the carbon oxidation loss rate is large; the carrier regeneration mostly adopts hydrothermal activation, but the regenerated carbon has a small pore size and a low regeneration rate. Enterprises use high-temperature sublimation technology to separate waste mercury-containing catalyst mercury, and obtain a complex product containing 90% mercuric chloride and 10% elemental mercury, and the distillation temperature needs to reach 450°C; or, by adding calcium oxide, multi-component and multi-phase mercury is pretreated into mercuric oxide, and oxidized and distilled to obtain elemental mercury, but the distillation temperature is as high as 600°C, and the calcium content in the waste activated carbon is 10%, which cannot be recycled; or, the waste activated carbon is regenerated by hydrothermal activation, but the regenerated carbon has a pore size of less than 1.99nm, a process wear loss rate of 10%, and a regeneration rate of less than 20%. Research on the low-temperature separation and regulation of multi-component and multi-phase mercury to prepare mercuric chloride, microwave activation and curing of waste activated carbon is the key to achieving efficient regeneration of waste mercury-containing catalysts.

Patent CN201810958676.X discloses a method for cleanly and efficiently recycling waste low-mercury catalysts, which adds an organic solvent to the waste mercury catalyst to extract the adsorbed toxic and harmful substances, then places it in a microwave oven, and dry distills and removes mercury at a temperature of 150-800°C and a nitrogen atmosphere. The dry distillation tail gas is condensed to recover mercuric chloride, the residual tail gas after condensation is absorbed, and the carrier carbon is leached to obtain activated carbon and metal chloride salt solution. Patent CN201810442830.8 discloses a high-efficiency recycling process and device for waste mercury catalysts, which places the waste mercury catalysts in a recovery furnace so that the mercuric chloride in the waste mercury catalysts leaves the activated carbon in the form of gas, and uses water not higher than 70°C to dissolve and recover the mercuric chloride liquid.
