PG - 868-877 LID - S0269-7491(18)35568-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.03.103 [doi] AB - The cobalt ferrite-reduced oxidized graphene (CoFe(2)O(4)/rGO) catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauere Emmette Teller (BET) and Hysteresis loop. For developing a new method of removing elemental mercury (Hg(0)) from flue gas, the effects of catalyst dosage, PMS concentration, solution pH and reaction temperature on the removal efficiency were investigated experimentally by using peroxymonosulfate (PMS) catalyzed by CoFe(2)O(4)/rGO at a self-made bubbling reactor. The average removal efficiency of Hg(0) in a 30-min period reached 95.56%, when CoFe(2)O(4)/rGO dosage was 0.288 g/L, PMS concentration was 3.5 mmol/L, solution pH was 5.5 and reaction temperature was 55  degrees C. Meanwhile, based on the free radical quenching experiments, in which, ethyl alcohol and tert butyl alcohol were used as quenchers to prove indirectly the presence of (*)OH and SO(4)(*-), the characterizations of catalysts and reaction products, and the existing results from other scholars. The reaction mechanism was proposed. CI - Copyright (c) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
