Mechanical insights into desulfurization by peroxymonosulfate oxidation via a non-reactive oxygen species pathway
JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS(2024)
Abstract
Air pollution by sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) remains a pressing concern for both the environment and human health. Desulfurization enhanced by persulfate based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) has been proven to be a feasible method. However, the inherent contradiction between the rapid diffusion mass transfer of SO 2 in the " gas-liquid-gas " phase and the limited lifespan of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can not be ignored. Excessive investment in PS is required to sustainably generate ROS to achieve continuous desulfurization performance, which may lead to excessive PS consumption. To address this issue, whether PS can achieve the oxidation absorption of SO 2 via a non-reactive oxygen species pathway was investigated. Experimental and computational results demonstrated that peroxymonosulfate (PMS) instead of peroxydisulfate (PDS) had a great SO 2 removal performance, the utilization of PS could be effectively achieved by maintaining a 1:1 molar ratio of PMS and removed SO 2 . The presence of H - O - O bonds in the PMS introduced a partial positive charge to the oxygen atom, making the PMS polar and more susceptible to be attacked by the nucleophile HSO 3 - . So SO 2 underwent a series of processes including dissolution, dissociation, one-oxygen atom transfer, and ionization before ultimately being converted into SO 4 2- ions, effectively achieving its removal from flue gas. This study may presents a novel approach for achieving high -efficiency flue gas desulfurization.
