A series of industrial desulfuration activated cokes loaded La2O3 and CeO2 (LaCe/AC) were employed for simultaneous NO and Hg-0 removal from simulated flue gas. The physicochemical characteristics of samples were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, NH3-TPD, TGA and XPS. 25%LaCe/AC exhibited outstanding NO removal efficiency (91.3%) and superior Hg-0 removal efficiency (94.3%) at 180 degrees C. The effects of Hg-0 on SCR reaction and SCR atmosphere on Hg-0 oxidation were investigated. The results demonstrated that Hg-0 had negligible impact on NO removal efficiency while NO evidently promoted Hg-0 removal efficiency. Meanwhile, NH3 had an adverse effect on Hg-0 removal efficiency. The slightly inhibitive effect derived from the existence of H2O or SO2 was also detected. The NO removal mainly followed the Langmuir-Hinshlwood mechanism while the Hg-0 removal mechanism was attributed to the combination of physisorption and chemisorption and catalytic oxidation. Especially, the relative contributions of physisorption and chemisorption and catalytic oxidation were distinguished and calculated by designed mercury conversion and desorption tests, the results indicated chemisorption displayed the predominant role. In addition, the stability test of 27 h was carried out and eventually the sample maintained 84.5% Hg-0 removal efficiency and 89.5% NO removal efficiency, indicating its potentially large-scale industrial application at low temperatures in the foreseeable future.
