In the work, sulfur-containing sorbents were employed to remove elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) from coal-fired flue gas. The work used the thermogravimetric analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to characterize the physicochemical properties of the sorbents. The Hg 0 removal performance of these used sorbents from the simulated coal-fired flue gas was evaluated by a bench-scale fixed-bed reactor. The results indicated that a generous amount of elemental sulfur covered the surface and pore structure of the used sorbent. With the rise of H 2 S selective oxidation temperature, both the sulfur content and specific surface area decreased rapidly. Used-Fe/SC120 could achieve the mercury removal efficiency of above 90% at 90 °C. The high temperature was not conducive to the mercury capture due to the release of surface elemental sulfur. The presence of O 2 and SO 2 inhibited Hg 0 removal in different degrees because of the decreased active sulfur sites and competitive adsorption. Meanwhile, NO promoted the Hg 0 removal efficiency by enhancing the Hg 0 oxidation. The further analysis showed that the surface elemental sulfur was vital to capture the Hg 0 from coal-fired flue gas, which reacted with Hg 0 to form HgS.
