Abstract: This study demonstrated the impacts of the synthesis methods on the textural structures, chemical properties, and hg0 capture capability of the mnOx system. Compared with the samples synthesized using the precipitation (PR) and hydrothermal (HT) methods, the adsorbent prepared via the sol-gel (SG) technique gave the best performance. At 150 °C, ca. 90% Hg0 removal efficiency was reached after 7.5 h for mnOx prepared by the SG method, ca. 40% higher than that of the other two methods. The specific surface area of the adsorbent synthesized via the SG technique (23 m2/g) was almost double that of the adsorbent prepared by the HT method (12 m2/g) and three times that of the one prepared by the PR method (7 m2/g). The presence of plentiful acid sites from the SG method facilitated the physisorption of Hg0, making more Hg0 available to be oxidized to HgO by the redox sites and thus giving the adsorbent prepared by the SG method the highest Hg0 removal efficiency. The strong oxidative ability accelerated the oxidation of the physically adsorbed Hg0 to HgO, which explained the higher Hg0 removal efficiency of the sample prepared using the HT method than that of the one synthesized by the PR technique. During the whole Hg0 removal cycles, chemisorption dominated, with the initial adsorption stage and the external mass-transfer process playing important roles.
