Alkali metal chlorides emitted from sintering flue gas are easily adsorbed on the surface of activated carbon (AC) in the purification process. In this paper, NaCl particles adsorbing onto AC were simulated by impregnation method, and the size and morphology of NaCl particles were similar to those of NaCl-PM₁₀ emitted from sintering flue gas. With the adsorption of NaCl particles, 2–10-μm pores of AC were filled, and the specific surface area of AC decreased. But NaCl led to the increase of acidic functional groups on the surface of AC. When 0.75 wt% NaCl was adsorbed, it was beneficial for AC catalytic denitration (de-NOx), because the chemical reaction was strengthened by acidic functional groups, so it showed a certain promotion of de-NOx efficiency. As 1.5 wt% NaCl and 3 wt% NaCl were adsorbed, NaCl had an inhibitory effect on AC de-NOx, which was because the specific surface area of AC decreased, and the prevention of physical adsorption played a major role. As a result, the de-NOx efficiency of AC adsorbed with 3 wt% NaCl decreased from 40.59 to 23.02% at 150 °C. Therefore, the absorption of NaCl fine particles on AC should not exceed 0.75 wt%.
