H₂S is a component with sulfur in coal gas and it is worth studying whether activated carbon can catalyze the H₂S in coal gas to form active sulfur, so as to promote the synergistic removal of H₂S and Hg⁰. In this paper, the mechanism of H₂S influence on the removal of Hg⁰ from activated carbon was analyzed by temperature programmed desorption method and thermodynamics. H₂S significantly weakened the adsorption of activated carbon on Hg⁰ in low temperature, which may be caused by the consumption of adsorbed oxygen on the surface of activated carbon and the substitution of oxygen in oxygen containing functional groups by H₂S. Then the feasibility of H₂S in coal gas to remove Hg⁰ and H₂S in high temperature was discussed. High temperature sulfuration cannot effectively sulfurize activated carbon with active sulfur. Therefore, mercury removal in the form of HgS with H₂S as a sulfur source is not a feasible method by activated carbon. The mechanism revealed here in on the influence of H₂S on Hg⁰ removal from pure activated carbon provides the guidance for designing activated carbon for gas mercury removal.
