Abstract
⺠CuCl2 oxidizes Hg(0) vapor while oxidizing Hg(0) to HgCl2 and reducing itself to CuCl. ⺠The reduced CuCl can be re-chlorinated to CuCl2 with HCl and O2 gases in flue gas. ⺠Hg(0) is oxidized by a heterogeneous reaction with surface Cl atom of CuCl2. ⺠The Hg(0) oxidation follows a Mars-Maessen mechanism with CuCl2 redox catalyst. ⺠CuCl2 can continue to oxidize Hg(0) vapor under very high SO2 concentrations.
