Modeling NO and SO2 Oxidation by H2O2 in Coal-Fired Flue Gas

Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 144, Issue 11

Abstract

NO and SO2 oxidization by H2O2 in coal-fired flue gas was modeled, and the effects of temperature and H2O2 concentration on NO and SO2 oxidization were investigated. The pathways of NO and SO2 oxidization were as follows: H2O2OHHO2+NONO2 and SO2+OHHOSO2+O2SO3, respectively. There were optimal temperature ranges of NO and SO2 oxidization, and the ranges were 650–920 K and 650–750 K, respectively. In the optimal temperature ranges, the NO2 conversion rate was greater than 0.9 at MRH2O2/NO>1.9, and the SO3 conversion rate reached about 0.3 at MRH2O2/SO2=0.10.4. SO2 oxidization could promote HO2 formation to oxidize NO.
