TL;DR: In this paper, different iron oxides supported on an activated carbon were prepared and tested for the removal of elemental mercury (Hg 0 ), and the results obtained with the sorbent loaded with maghemite open new perspectives for the retention of gaseous Hg 0, combining high efficiency, good regenerability and lower price in comparison with sorbents developed to date.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the oxygen-rich porous carbon constitutes an effective sorbent for Hg0 removal and the excellent textural properties, surface atomic oxygen concentration, and the type of oxygen group are the three key factors for realizing high HG0 removal performance.
Abstract: A porous carbon was synthesized by the combination of freeze-drying and CO2 activation from starch. Nonthermal plasma was employed to quickly produce oxygen functional groups on a porous carbon surface. The plasma treatment has a negligible effect on the textural properties of the porous carbon. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses suggested that the plasma treatment significantly increased the amount and promoted the evolution of oxygen groups on surface. The unique pore structure of porous carbon was proven favorable to effective oxygen loading. The elemental mercury (Hg0) adsorption ability of the oxygen enriched porous carbon was tested. The results indicated that the oxygen-rich porous carbon constitutes an effective sorbent for Hg0 removal. The excellent textural properties, surface atomic oxygen concentration, and the type of oxygen group are the three key factors for realizing high Hg0 removal performance. Density functional calculations were perfor...
