Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sorbent composition containing particles for removing heavy metals, in particular mercury, from flue gases.
- Sorbent composition containing solid particles are well known in the art.
- the carbon colors the gypsum produced from wet desulfurization process black while the whiteness of this material determines its valorization value when selling it to gypsum manufacturer.
- activated carbon is naturally retained in the fly ash waste stream.
- activated carbon can adversely interact with the additives used in cement and concrete formulations precluding by consequence the utilization of said fly ash containing activated carbon as additive in the cement industry that must therefore rather be disposed of, at significant cost.
- aqueous solution of a silica containing precursor such as silicic acid, colloidal silica
- the sorbent composition is intended to be used under aqueous suspension in two different applications.
- the aqueous suspension is designed to be used in wet flue gas desulfurizer units, where it is stable enough.
- the aqueous suspension is injected in the dry and hot flue gas.
- the aqueous suspension is dried in the hot flue gas causing likely in such a case a loss of efficiency due to sensitivity towards thermal decomposition and a lack of reproducibility since the drying process of the sorbent is only undergone and not controlled.
- tests conducted in our study have proven that spray-dried colloidal silica particles have a tendency to trap active chemical compounds into the particle core during the spray-drying step, thus reducing overall efficiency.
- an inorganic base such as calcium hydroxide, sodium sesquicarbonate, sodium (bi)carbonate, potassium carbonate and/or calcium carbonate
- a sulfide such as ammonium sulfide, alkali metal sulfide, alkali-earth metal sulfide and/or transition metal sulfide
