To develop more effective alternative sorbent for gaseous elemental mercury (Hg-0) removal, a porous carbon was synthesized from sustainable biomass (starch) by the combination of freeze-drying and CO2 activation. The biomass-derived porous carbon has high surface area, large pore volume and developed pore structure. The Hg-0 adsorption ability of porous carbon was tested and compared with a commercial coconut shell activated carbon. The effect of Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on Hg-0 adsorption was investigated. H2S can significantly improve the Hg-0 removal ability of porous carbon and activated carbon. Porous carbon shows greater Hg-0 removal ability than activated carbon with and without H2S, which confirms the feasibility of effectively removing Hg-0 by using porous carbon. The excellent textual properties of porous carbon facilitates the formation of more active sulfur sites on surface in the presence of H2S. Porous carbon is very available to be modified for realizing a high Hg-0 removal ability. Density functional calculations were performed to clarify the mechanism of Hg-0 adsorption on porous carbon. HgS is the most possible product for Hg-0 adsorption on porous carbon with H2S. HgS can be formed by the direct reaction of Hg-0 with C-S species via the Eley-Rideal mechanism.
