Abstract Pyrite and fly ash have certain advantages in adsorption and mercury oxidation. The pyrite-modified fly ash (PY+AC-FA) mercury adsorbent was prepared by mixing pyrite (PY) with acid-modified fly ash (AC-FA), which has better mercury removal effect than AC-FA. The experimental results of mercury adsorption show: when the reaction temperature is 50°C, the best doping proportion of modified fly ash is 20wt%, the mass proportion of pyrite to acid modified fly ash is 4:1, and the flue gas flow rate is 1.0L/min, the adsorbent has the best performance, and the adsorption rate of mercury reaches 91.92%. BET, XRD, SEM, TG-DSG and XRF were used to characterize these adsorbents. And the mechanism of mercury removal of pyrite-modified fly ash adsorbent is inferred: Hg0 is first adsorbed on the surface of the adsorbent, and then oxidized to HgS by the active component FeS2 in pyrite-modified fly ash.

The paper presents the results of research on the properties of fly ashes from the process of flue gas denitrification by selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR), consisting of dosing urea into the coal combustion chamber. The research was carried out on two types of fly ash: Silica fly ash from flue gas denitrification and ash from a traditional boiler without the flue gas denitrification process. The scope of comparative studies included physicochemical and structural features of ashes, as well as slurries and mortars with the addition of ashes. Fly ash from denitrification, whose ammonia content at the time of sampling was 75 mg/kg at the maximum, was examined. Our own research has shown that fly ash from flue gas denitrification is characterized by a higher value of losses on ignition and ammonia content in comparison to ashes without denitrification. It was shown that the ammonia content in the analyzed range does not limit the use of fly ash as an additive to cement and concrete.

Mercury in the flue gas in coal-fired power plant as the research object using halogen compound as the modified material, the fly ash was modified by chemical immersion method,Study on adsorption agent, the adsorption temperature, modified material and loading on mercury adsorption of flue gas in coal-fired power plants. Experiments showed that, iodine adsorption properties of modified fly ash was the most significant, with the increase of the sorbent dosage, Hg removal efficiency increased, fly ash adsorption amount of change was not obvious, between 80-140°C temperature range, fly ash on mercury existed mainly physical adsorption, the mercury removal efficiency decreased with the increase of temperature, chemical adsorption occurred at 160°C, mercury removal efficiency increased.

The original fly ash samples fetched from the power plant and the treated fly ash samples after screening, magnetic separation and mixing were used in the experiment of photocatalytic removal on mercury in flue gas. The fly ash samples and the absorption solution after experiment were tested for mercury content. The results showed that different sizes of the original fly ash had different characteristics of photocatalytic removal of mercury. The adsorption of mercury by fly ash was an important condition for the occurrence of photocatalytic effect. When the mercury adsorption capacity of fly ash was stronger, the capacity of photocatalytic removal mercury was also greater. The presence of iron oxide on the fly ash surface can promote the capability of photocatalytic removal of mercury by fly ash. The presence of ultraviolet light can significantly promote Hg0 oxidize to Hg2+ by fly ash. Thus the oxidized mercury in the flue gas can be easily absorbed by the solution.
