Metal ion catalyzed oxidation of SO2 in the presence of trace H2O2 in aqueous solution under environmental reaction conditions

Aqueous phase oxidation of SO₂ or S(IV) by H₂O₂-metal ions at a H₂O₂ concentration much lower than S(IV), was studied using a continuously flowing stirred reactor. Of the metal ions, Fe²⁺ showed the highest catalytic activity, i.e. the oxidation of S(IV) continued after most of the H₂O₂ was consumed. The dependence of the rate on the concentration of S(IV), H₂O₂, Fe²⁺ or H⁺ and temperature was determined. The following rate expression and low apparent activation energy of 40.7 kJ mole⁻¹ were evaluated,−d[S(IV)]/dt=620[S(IV)]²[Fe²⁺]^0.5(molel⁻¹S⁻¹). The significance of this reaction as the sulfate formation in atmospheric water droplets is discussed and a comparison of the rate with others using H₂O₂, O₃ and dissolved O₂ catalyzed by metal ions is made.     

Removal of elemental mercury by photocatalytic oxidation over La2O3/Bi2O3 composite

La₂O₃/Bi₂O₃ photocatalysts were prepared by impregnation of Bi₂O₃ with an aqueous solution of lanthanum precursor followed by calcination at different temperatures. The composite materials were used for the first time for the photocatalytic removal of Hg⁰ from a simulated flue gas under UV light irradiation. The results showed that the sample containing 6 wt.% La₂O₃ and calcined at 500°C has the highest dispersion of the active sites, which was promoted by the strong interaction with the support (i.e., the formation of Bi-O-La species). Since they are fully accessible on the surface, the material also exhibits excellent optical properties while the heterojunction formed in La₂O₃/Bi₂O₃ promotes the separation and migration of photoelectron-hole pairs and thus Hg⁰ oxidation efficiency is enhanced. The effects of the various factors (e.g., the reaction temperature and composition of the simulated flue gas (i.e., O₂, NO, H₂O, and SO₂)) on the efficiency of the Hg⁰ photocatalytic oxidation were investigated. The results demonstrated that O₂ and SO₂ enhanced the efficiency of the reaction while the reaction temperature, NO, and H₂O had an inhibitory effect.     

Studies on the formation of H2O2 in the ozonolysis of alkenes

The formation of H₂O₂ in the reactions of ozone with alkenes, isoprene and some terpenes has been studied with tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy. The measured yields of H₂O₂ were found to be considerably enhanced in the presence of water vapour. H₂O₂ is thought to be formed in the ozonolysis of the alkene with O₃ by direct reaction of an intermediate with water vapour. The yield of H₂O₂ relative to the reacted alkene in the ozonolysis of trans-2-butene in the presence of water vapour was also studied with long path FTIR spectroscopy. Irrespective of the analytical methods and reaction conditions applied, the H₂O₂ yields in the reaction of O₃ with the different alkenes in the presence of water vapour were found to be in the range of a few per cent or less. Under the assumption that the reactive species forming H₂O₂ in the ozonolysis is the Criegee biradical, the overall rate constants for the reactions of some biradicals with water vapour were measured relative to the rate constant of the biradical with SO₂. For the H₂COO biradical a rate constant of (5.8 ± 2.5) × 10⁻¹⁷ cm³ s⁻¹ was determined and for the (CH₃)₂COO biradical (2.9 ± 1.5) × 10⁻¹⁷ cm³ s⁻¹; in the latter case with the assumption that (CH₃)₂COO reacts with SO₂ as fast as CH₂COO.

Field studies of the SO2/aqueous S(IV) equilibrium in clouds

Concentrations of S(IV) were measured in cloudwater at Great Dun Fell and compared with theoretical HSO₃⁻ assuming equilibrium between aqueous and gaseous phases in cloud. Detectable concentrations of S(IV) in the range of 1 × 10⁻⁶ to 17.2 × 10⁻⁶ mol dm⁻³ were observed only in samples which contained low H₂O₂ concentrations, generally <1 × 10⁻⁶ mol dm⁻³. Concentrations of S(IV) were below the detection limit of 1 × 10⁻⁶ mol dm⁻³ in samples which contained hign H₂O₂ levels (1 × 10⁻⁶−80 × 10⁻⁶ mol dm⁻³) confirming that either SO₂ or H₂O₂ acts as the limiting reagent in the oxidation of SO₂ in cloudwater.Equilibrium HSO₃⁻ concentrations were estimated from the measured cloudwater pH, the gas phase SO₂ concentration and the ambient temperature and found to be on average about 5 times lower than the measured S(IV) concentrations. The possible role of formaldehyde in stabilizing S(IV) in cloudwater is discussed. The kinetic data available in the literature suggest that the complexation reaction between S(IV) and HCHO is too slow to account for the observed difference between measured and calculated S(IV) concentrations over the typical lifetime of clouds in our study.S(IV) accounted for up to 10% of the SO₄²⁻ measured in stored cloudwater samples.     

Numerical simulation of wet scavenging of air pollutants—II. Modeling of rain composition at the ground

The modeling of rain composition for a convective shower (Tucson, AZ, 10 September 1977) and a frontal precipitation event (Den Helder, Holland, 12 December 1978) is performed in this paper by including the pollutant species and wet scavenging mechanisms into the mass transport equation of the sequential sampling model described in Part I of this series. The results indicate that: (1) the major scavenging mechanisms of most pollutants in convective showers appear to be similar to those in frontal precipitations; (2) the major scavenging mechanisms of NH₄ and NO₃ are gas absorption, whereas the absorption of SO₂ by aqueous drops and oxidation of S(IV) by H₂O₂ and O₃ in the aqueous phase are the major formation and scavenging mechanisms for SO₄; (3) the scavenging by raindrops in the below-cloud region is the dominant removal mechanism for coarse particles, whereas nucleation is the major scavenging mechanism for submicrometer particles; (4) H₂O₂ is the most important oxidant responsible for the oxidation of S(IV) and the formation of sulfate in precipitation; (5) the contributions of both (SO₂ + H₂O₂) and (SO₂ + O₃) reactions to sulfate concentration in precipitation are larger for convective precipitation than for frontal precipitation.     

Oxidation of SO2 in thin water films containing NH3

The reaction between NH₃ and SO₂ in thin water films was studied with a focus on the formation of sulfate. The reactions were conducted at 5 and 60% relative humidities or partial pressure of water vapor and at 0.04, 0.16 or 0.20 atm O₂ for temperatures between 20 and 50°C using a flow reactor and static flask reactors. In the presence of water vapor, the oxidation of SO₂ to sulfate was observed only when NH₃ was present. The product was primarily (NH₄)₂SO₄. Conversion of as much as 81% of the SO₂ to sulfate was observed after 10 min of reaction when the initial concentrations of SO₂ and NH₃ were 1 ppm and the relative humidity was 60%. Conversion was only 1–3% when NH₃ and/or water vapor were absent from the system. The surface of the reactor was found to influence the reaction by providing a place for a film of liquid water to form, and for the first several hours of reaction in the film, th e rate of sulfate formation was observed to be faster than oxidation in liquid water. In general, these results suggest that thin water films on environmental surfaces play a greater role in the deposition of atmospheric gases and the accumulation of their reaction products on surfaces than previously considered.     

厌氧氨氧化污泥中氨氧化的潜在电子受体

通过接种亚硝酸盐型厌氧氨氧化污泥,投加潜在电子受体(亚硝酸盐、Fe~(3+)和硫酸盐)研究了厌氧条件下氨氮氧化的潜在电子受体.结果表明,亚硝酸盐是厌氧氨氧化最适合的电子受体,能够与氨氮在短暂的时间内完全反应;在亚硝酸盐缺乏的情况下,厌氧氨氧化污泥中微生物利用自身细胞有机物将产物硝酸盐转化为亚硝酸盐参与氨氮转化;Fe~(3+)与硫酸盐在氨氮氧化后期出现转化,但是直接还是间接参与还需进一步研究.厌氧氨氧化污泥对氨氮产生过量氧化之前必须以亚硝酸盐为电子受体进行微生物活性激活,并且好氧氨氧化菌和亚硝化菌出现增长,推测微生物产生了H_2O_2.该现象并不可长久持续.虽然其氧化速率较慢,但是过量氧化现象较为明显.因此厌氧氨氧化污泥中肯定存在氨氮过量氧化的现象.厌氧氨氧化污泥对电子的利用顺序是亚硝酸盐、硝酸盐、Fe~(3+)和硫酸盐.     

酸性条件下黄铁矿氧化机制的研究

以黄铁矿粉末制备成的碳糊电极为工作电极,利用循环伏安曲线和极化曲线等电化学手段,对酸性条件下黄铁矿的氧化过程和机制进行了研究.结果表明,黄铁矿的氧化主要包括以下两个过程:首先,黄铁矿(FeS2)矿物晶格中的Fe2+溶出而被氧化为Fe3+,此过程会伴随有如硫单质、缺铁硫化物(Fe1-xS2)和多硫化物(FeSn)等氧化中间产物的生成,覆盖在黄铁矿的表面而形成一层钝化膜,阻碍了其氧化溶解过程;接着,黄铁矿表面的钝化膜被进一步氧化为可溶性的SO24-.在酸性条件下,黄铁矿氧化反应的最终产物为Fe3+和SO24-.另外,在所研究的酸度范围内,随着H2SO4溶液浓度的增大,体系的开路电位和腐蚀电位均正移,氧化和还原的峰电流值升高,腐蚀电流增大,说明增加体系的酸度会促进黄铁矿的氧化过程.

Removal of tetracycline from water by Fe-Mn binary oxide

Significant concerns have been raised over the presence of antibiotics including tetracyclines in aquatic environments. A series of Fe-Mn binary oxide with different Fe:Mn molar ratios was synthesized by a simultaneous oxidation and coprecipitation process for TC removal. Results showed that Fe-Mn binary oxide had higher removal efficiency than that of hydrous iron oxide and hydrous manganese oxide, and that the oxide with a Fe:Mn molar ratio of 5:1 was the best in removal than other molar ratios. The tetracycline removal was highly pH dependent. The removal of tetracycline decreased with the increase of initial concentration, but the absolute removal quantity was more at high concentration. The presence of cations and anions such as Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, CO₃^2- and SO₄^2- had no significant effect on the tetracycline removal in our experimental conditions, while SiO₃^2- and PO₄^3- had hindered the adsorption of tetracycline. The mechanism investigation found that tetracycline removal was mainly achieved by the replacement of surface hydroxyl groups by the tetracycline species and formation of surface complexes at the water/oxide interface. This primary study suggests that Fe-Mn binary oxide with a proper Fe:Mn molar ratio will be a very promising material for the removal of tetracycline from aqueous solutions.     

基于碳捕集的富氧燃煤烟气联合脱硫脱硝试验研究

富氧燃煤烟气压缩液化CO2的高压低温工况为NO氧化为易溶于水的NO2提供了十分有利的条件.基于小型高压吸收试验装置,采用配制的富氧燃煤模拟烟气,在高压常温下进行了NO、SO2、O2与H2O的吸收反应试验.根据反应前后的气液产物分析,测定了不同组分比例与不同压力下混合气体中NO与SO2的转化率.NO氧化与吸收试验表明,NO转化为HNO3的比率随压力升高而增加,在0.5 ～2 MPa之间增加很快,在2 ～3 MPa之间增速趋丁平缓,压力达3 MPa以上时,90％以上的NO均转化为稀硝酸,且初始NO浓度越高,NO的转化率越大.混合气体中同时存在5O2与NO的联合吸收试验发现,只有少量的NO转化成了NO3-,SO2向H2SO4的转化率随压力升高而增加,初始SO2浓度越大,转化率越高.分析表明,SO2与NO同时存在时SO2先行转化为SO3,NO充当了催化剂,但SO2转化为SO3的一次转化率小于35％,反应酸液产物的多次循环能使SO2的转化率达到90％以上.建议的工艺流程中需采用两座吸收反应塔顺序脱除SO2与NO并回收稀酸溶液,有望在富氧燃煤发电捕集CO2系统中降低脱硫脱硝成本,部分地弥补富氧燃烧机组发电成本的增加.

Catalytic performance of Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 catalyst in ozonation of 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionic acid, nitrobenzene and oxalic acid in water

Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation using Fe(NO3) 3·9H2O and Co(NO3) 2·6H2O as the precursors,and its catalytic performance was investigated in ozonation of 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) propionic acid(2,4-DP) ,nitrobenzene and oxalic acid.The experimental results indicated that Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 catalyst enabled an interesting improvement of ozonation eciency during the degradation of each organic pollutant,and the Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 catalytic ozonation system followed a radical-type mechanism.The kinetics of ozonation alone and Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 catalytic ozonation of three organic pollutants in aqueous solution were discussed under the mere consideration of direct ozone reaction and OH radical reaction to well investigate its performance.In the catalytic ozonation of 2,4-DP,the apparent reaction rate constants(k) were determined to be 1.456×10-2 min-1 for ozonation alone and 4.740×10-2 min-1 for O3/Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3.And O3/Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 had a larger Rct(6.614×10-9) calculated by the relative method than O3 did(1.800×10-9) ,showing O3/Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 generated more hydroxyl radical.Similar results were also obtained in the catalytic ozonation of nitrobenzene and oxalic acid.The above results demonstrated that the catalytic performance of Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 in ozonation of studied organic substance was universal to a certain degree.

Within the limits of error, the rate constants obtained agree with those measured in the absence of suspended material, i.e. under the given conditions there is no surface catalytic effect to be observed.

Reaction of monoterpenes with ozone,sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide—gas-phase oxidation of SO2 and formation of sulphuric acid

Teflon bag experiments were carried out in the dark in order to study the gas-phase reactions of selected monoterpenes with O₃ in the presence of SO₂ (β-pinene) as well as in the presence of SO₂/NO₂ (α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene). Emphasis was given in identifying the main reaction products and in quantifying the H₂SO₄ aerosol formed. Apart from the H₂SO₄ aerosol no other S containing compounds could be detected.It was found that the reaction of β-pinene with O₃, SO₂ and NO₂ leads mainly to 6,6-dimethyl-bicyclo [3.1.1] heptan-2-one (nopinone), the α-pinene-O₃-SO₂-NO₂-reaction produced 2′,2′-dimethyl-3-acetyl cyclobutyl ethanal (pinonaldehyde). The reaction of limonene with O₃-SO₂-NO₂ leads mainly to an unidentified product with a molecular weight M⁺ 134. In addition to the above-mentioned volatile products, the formation of organic nitrates could be established by means of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.The yield of H₂SO₄ in the system β-pinene/O₃/SO₂ varies between 0.13 and 0.44 depending on the initial conditions, e.g. humidity. In the system terpene/O₃/SO₂/NO₂ the yield of H₂SO₄ for α-pinene (after 1 h reaction time) was 0.01–0.03, for β-pinene (2 or 4 h reaction time) 0.07–0.13 and for limonene (1 h reaction time) 0.02–0.09.
