Popis: Stabilities and/or decomposition characteristics of mercury compounds are important for the design of solid sorbents for mercury vapor removal from coal-derived flue gas and fuel gas. However, available data on the stability and decomposition behavior of mercury compounds are inadequate. The stability and/or decomposition behavior of mercury compounds, such as HgS (metacinnabar and cinnabar), HgO, HgSO4, HgCl2, and Hg2Cl2, were investigated by the temperature-programmed decomposition and desorption technique using a mass spectrometer (TPDD−mass) method. The effects of solid diluents, such as quartz, SiC, Al2O3, TiO2, or activated carbon (AC), on the decomposition characteristics were also studied by the TPDD−mass method. In particular, the stability and reactivity of mercury chloride (HgCl2) in coal combustion flue gas and coal-derived fuel gas conditions were examined. The following results were obtained: (1) the order of the main peak temperature of mercury evolution from the decomposition of the mercur...
