Abstract

The processes of oxidation of NO from flue gas of coal combustion over KMnO4 was studied in the fixed bed reactor at a low temperature. The effect of flue gas components, such as SO2, H2O and O2, on the oxidation of NO was analyzed. The influence mechanism of Ca(OH)2 on oxidation of NO over KMnO4 was proposed. The presence of H2O was found to be necessary for the oxidation of NO to NO2 over KMnO4. SO2 was absorbed as K2Mn2(SO4)3 by KMnO4, which restrained the oxidation of NO. The addition of Ca(OH)2 into KMnO4 could increase the solid alkalinity of KMnO4 surface and enhance the oxidation of NO. Ca(OH)2 could weaken the inhibition of oxidation of NO by SO2. The results of XRD analysis of the products and the components of flue gas from reactor outlet showed the oxidation mechanism of NO over KMnO4 that the NO and SO2 firstly reacted with KMnO4 in the presence of H2O, and then were transferred to alkaline site and absorbed.
