especially China's coal-dominated energy consumption structure leads to serious mercury pollution.It is necessary to strengthen the control of mercury.The sources
hazards and migration mechanism of mercury during the combustion were briefly introduced.Moreover
the research development of mercury control technology at home and abroad was reviewed
including the mercury removal before
during and after combustion
among which the post-combustion control technology was focused.The carbon-based sorbents for mercury and non-carbon-based materials were also presented.The mercury removal characteristics and main research findings of carbon-based sorbents(modified by halogen
sulfur
metal and metal oxides)
fly ash
and four non-carbon-based mercury removal materials(such as mineral adsorbents
metal and metal oxides
new renewable magnetic zeolite and nano mercury removal material)were summarized.Finally
