Abstract

The effect of SO2 on NO removal by Ca(OH)2 was investigated at a low temperature. The influence of H2O and O2 on the enhancement effect of SO2 on NO removal was analyzed. The experimental results showed that NO removal was negligible in the absence of SO2. SO2 could enhance NO removal. H2O and O2 have great influence on the enhancement of SO2 on NO removal. NO could not be absorbed by Ca(OH)2 in the absence of O2, even though a high SO2 removal could be attained. SO2 could enhance NO removal when H2O and O2 were present in the flue gas simultaneously. CaSO3, a typical desulfurization reaction product, could not oxidize NO to NO2. The multi-molecular intermediate species, which could decompose to NO2, was not formed from the adsorption of NO, H2O and O2 on the surface of absorbent. There may be some unstable intermediate species formed from the desulfurization reaction, which can accelerate the reaction of NO and O2.
