Abstract:
Provided is a method of stabilizing and solidifying elemental mercury using sulfur and paraffin. The method includes reacting elemental mercury with sulfur to prepare a mercury sulfide compound, adding a mixture of the mercury sulfide compound and the remaining sulfur after the reaction to high-temperature liquid paraffin to melt the remaining sulfur, and cooling the sulfur to solidify the mercury sulfide compound. According to the method of stabilizing and solidifying elemental mercury using sulfur and paraffin, a surface of a solidified product is covered with a thin paraffin layer to prevent exposure to the outside.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of reducing air pollutant emissions such as dioxin or mercury from combustion facilities including furnaces and electricity generation equipment. More particularly, the invention relates to a method of reducing the amount of air pollutants such as dioxin or mercury from combustion facilities by inputting the precursor of nano-particles such as titanium dioxide photo-catalyst or reactive potassium iodide into the combustion facilities as a mixture with air or fuel supply of the combustion facilities, thereby allowing nano-particles to be synthesized during the combustion process and such synthesized nano-particles to absorb, decompose and adhere the air pollutants in the combustion facilities.
