Reactions of sulfur dioxide with neutral vanadium oxide clusters in the gas phase. II. Experimental study employing single-photon ionization

Single-photon ionization through vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 10.5 eV) and soft X-ray (extreme ultraviolet, EUV, 26.5 eV) laser radiation is successfully employed for the study of the reactions of neutral vanadium oxide clusters (V(m)O(n)) with sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the gas phase. V(m)O(n) clusters are generated by reaction of a laser-generated vanadium plasma with O2 in a supersonic expansion. The clusters are cooled in the expansion and are reacted with SO2 in a fast-flow reactor. Detection of neutral clusters and products is through ionization employing VUV and EUV laser radiation and time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Many association reaction intermediates [V(m)O(n)SO2 and V2O4(SO2)2] are observed. Isolated SO is also observed, as a product as predicted by theoretical studies presented in part I (J. Phys. Chem. A 2007, 111, 13339). A weak feature at the SO3 mass channel (80 amu) is suggested to be present in the product mass spectra. Further reactions of the intermediates with O2 are positively identified for VO2SO2, V3O7SO2, and V5O10SO2. Reaction mechanisms are interpreted on the basis of the observations and preliminary theoretical calculations. Molecular level reaction mechanisms for oxidation of SO2 to SO3 facilitated by condensed-phase vanadium oxides as catalysts are suggested.

Experimental study of the heterogeneous interaction of SO3 and H2O: formation of condensed phase molecular sulfuric acid hydrates

The interaction of SO(3) and H(2)O at low temperatures upon an inert surface has been studied with infrared spectroscopy and compared to the predictions of recent computational studies. At low temperatures and low water partial pressures, amorphous deposits of molecular H(2)SO(4) complexed with variable amounts of H(2)O in a ratio of between 1:1 and 2:1 are formed. Upon annealing, this material ejects water and converts first to a 1:1 H(2)SO(4).H(2)O complex and subsequently to anhydrous H(2)SO(4). Adding water to the amorphous molecular hydrate results in the formation of a new species, which on the basis of its thermal behavior and by comparison to theoretical predictions can be attributed to a molecular polymer with a repeat unit of (H(2)SO(4).(H(2)O)(2))(n)(). Implications of these observations for the initial stages of the formation of sulfate aerosol in the atmosphere and their surface reactivity are discussed.

Experimental evaluation of the pressure and temperature dependence of ion-induced nucleation

An experimental system for the study of ion-induced nucleation in a SO(2)/H(2)O/N(2) gas mixture was developed, employing a soft x-ray at different pressure and temperature levels. The difficulties associated with these experiments included the changes in physical properties of the gas mixture when temperature and pressure were varied. Changes in the relative humidity (RH) as a function of pressure and temperature also had a significant effect on the different behaviors of the mobility distributions of particles. In order to accomplish reliable measurement and minimize uncertainties, an integrated on-line control system was utilized. As the pressure decreased in a range of 500-980 hPa, the peak concentration of both ions and nanometer-sized particles decreased, which suggests that higher pressure tended to enhance the growth of particles nucleated by ion-induced nucleation. Moreover, the modal diameters of the measured particle size distributions showed a systematic shift to larger sizes with increasing pressure. However, in the temperature range of 5-20 °C, temperature increases had no significant effects on the mobility distribution of particles. The effects of residence time, RH (7%-70%), and SO(2) concentration (0.08-6.7 ppm) on ion-induced nucleation were also systematically investigated. The results show that the nucleation and growth were significantly dependent on the residence time, RH, and SO(2) concentration, which is in agreement with both a previous model and previous observations. This research will be inevitable for a better understanding of the role of ions in an atmospheric nucleation mechanism.     

Experimental determination of the H2SO4/(NH4)2SO4/H2O phase diagram

We have experimentally investigated the water and sulfuric acid-rich regions of the H2SO4/(NH4)2SO4/H2O ternary liquid/solid phase diagram using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and infrared spectroscopy of thin films. We present the liquid/solid ternary phase diagram for temperatures below 373 K and H2SO4 concentrations below 60 wt %. We have determined two ternary eutectics and two tributary reaction points for this system in the regions studied. It is also seen that sulfuric acid tetrahydrate (SAT) forms as a metastable solid over a large concentration range. Two true binary systems have been identified: ice/letovicite and SAT/ammonium bisulfate. Finally, we have compared our results to the predictions of the aerosol inorganics model and have found significant differences both in the final melting points and in the location of some of the phase boundaries including a significant discrepancy in the invariant points predicted versus those observed.

Experimental and theoretical investigations of the sulfite-based polyoxometalate cluster redox series: alpha- and beta-[Mo(18)O(54)(SO(3))(2)](4-/5-/6-)

The synthesis, isolation and structural characterization of the sulfite polyoxomolybdate clusters alpha-(D(3h))(C(20)H(44)N)(4){alpha-[Mo(18)O(54)(SO(3))(2)]}CH(3)CN and beta-(D(3d))(C(20)H(44)N)(4){beta-[Mo(18)O(54)(SO(3))(2)]}CH(3)CN is presented. Voltammetric studies in acetonitrile (0.1 M Hx(4)NClO(4), Hx(4)N=tetra-n-hexylammonium) reveal the presence of an extensive series of six one-electron reduction processes for both isomers. Under conditions of bulk electrolysis, the initial [Mo(18)O(54)(SO(3))(2)](4-/5-) and [Mo(18)O(54)(SO(3))(2)](5-/6-) processes produce stable [Mo(18)O(54)(SO(3))(2)](5-) and [Mo(18)O(54)(SO(3))(2)](6-) species, respectively, and the same reduced species may be produced by photochemical reduction. Spectroelectrochemical data imply that retention of structural form results upon reduction, so that both alpha and beta isomers are available at each of the 4-, 5-, and 6-redox levels. However, the alpha isomer is the thermodynamically favored species in both the one- and two-electron-reduced states, with beta-->alpha isomerization being detected in both cases on long time scales (days). EPR spectra also imply that increasing localization of the unpaired electron occurs over the alpha- and beta-[Mo(18)O(54)(SO(3))(2)](5-) frameworks as the temperature approaches 2 K where the EPR spectra show orthorhombic symmetry with different g and hyperfine values for the alpha and beta isomers. Theoretical studies support the observation that it is easier to reduce the alpha cluster than the beta form and also provide insight into the driving force for beta-->alpha isomerization in the reduced state. Data are compared with that obtained for the well studied alpha-[Mo(18)O(54)(SO(4))(2))](4-) sulfate cluster.     

Infrared absorption of C6H5SO2 detected with time-resolved Fourier-transform spectroscopy

C6H5SO2 radicals were produced upon irradiation of three flowing mixtures: C6H5SO2Cl in N2, C6H5Cl and SO2 in CO2, and C6H5Br and SO2 in CO2, with a KrF excimer laser at 248 nm. A step-scan Fourier-transform spectrometer coupled with a multipass absorption cell was employed to record the time-resolved infrared (IR) absorption spectra of reaction intermediates. Two transient bands with origins at 1087.7 and 1278.2 cm-1 are assigned to the SO2-symmetric and SO2-antisymmetric stretching modes, respectively, of C6H5SO2. Calculations with density-functional theory (B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ and B3P86/aug-cc-pVTZ) predict the geometry and vibrational wave numbers of C6H5SO2 and C6H5OSO. The vibrational wave numbers and IR intensities of C6H5SO2 agree satisfactorily with the observed new features. Rotational contours of IR spectra of C6H5SO2 simulated based on predicted molecular parameters agree satisfactorily with experimental results for both bands. The SO2-symmetric stretching band is dominated by a- and c-type rotational structures and the SO2-antisymmetric stretching band is dominated by a b-type rotational structure. When C6H5SO2Cl was used as a precursor of C6H5SO2, C6H5SO2Cl was slowly reproduced at the expense of C6H5SO2, indicating that the reaction Cl+C6H5SO2 takes place. When C6H5Br/SO2/CO2 was used as a precursor of C6H5SO2, features at 1186 and 1396 cm-1 ascribable to C6H5SO2Br were observed at a later period due to secondary reaction of C6H5SO2 with Br. Corresponding kinetics based on temporal profiles of observed IR absorption are discussed.     

Experimental and mechanism studies on simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification from flue gas using a flue gas circulating fluidized bed

The oxidizing highly reactive absorbent was prepared from fly ash,industry lime,and an oxidizing additive M.Experiments of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification were carried out in a flue gas circulating fluidized bed(CFB).The effects of influencing factors and calcium availability were also investigated on the removal efficiencies of desulfurization and denitrification.Removal efficiencies of 95.5%for SO2 and 64.8%for NO were obtained respectively under the optimal experimental conditions. The component of the spent absorbent was analyzed with chemical analysis methods.The results in- dicated that more nitrogen species appeared in the spent absorbent except sulfur species.A scanning electron microscope(SEM)and an accessory X-ray energy spectrometer were used to observe micro-properties of the samples,including fly ash,oxidizing highly reactive absorbent and spent absorbent.The simultaneous removal mechanism of SO2 and NO based on this absorbent was pro- posed according to the experimental results.     

Single photon ionization of van der Waals clusters with a soft x-ray laser: (SO2)n and (SO2)n(H2O)m

van der Waals cluster (SO2)n is investigated by using single photon ionization of a 26.5 eV soft x-ray laser. During the ionization process, neutral clusters suffer a small fragmentation because almost all energy is taken away by the photoelectron and a small part of the photon energy is deposited into the (SO2)n cluster. The distribution of (SO2)n clusters decreases roughly exponentially with increasing cluster size. The photoionization dissociation fraction of I[(SO2)(n-1)SO+] / I[(SO2)n+] decreases with increasing cluster size due to the formation of cluster. The metastable dissociation rate constants of (SO2)n+ are measured in the range of (0.6-1.5) x 10(4) s(-1) for cluster sizes 5< or =n< or =16. Mixed SO2-H2O clusters are studied at different experimental conditions. At the condition of high SO2 concentration (20% SO2 partial pressure), (SO2)n+ cluster ions dominate the mass spectrum, and the unprotonated mixed cluster ions (SO2)nH2O+ (1< or =n< or =5) are observed. At the condition of low SO2 concentration (5% SO2 partial pressure) (H2O)nH+ cluster ions are the dominant signals, and protonated cluster ions (SO2)(H2O)nH+ are observed. The mixed clusters, containing only one SO2 or H2O molecule, SO2(H2O)nH+ and (SO2)nH2O+ are observed, respectively.     

SO2和NO在Na-γ-Al2O3上吸附行为的研究

利用吸附曲线和漫反射红外光谱（DRIFTS）研究了150 ℃SO2和NO在Na-γ-Al2O3上的吸附行为。吸附实验在固定床反应器内进行,原料气体积组成为NO (0.1％)、 SO2 (0.51％)、O2 (4.5％)、Ar平衡。研究表明,150 ℃不论气相中是否有氧,Na-γ-Al2O3均能单独吸附SO2或NO,Na-γ-Al2O3单独吸附SO2时,观察不到有SO42-生成,Na-γ- Al2O3单独吸附NO时,NO吸附量较少,有微量NO2（或表面硝酸盐）生成;Na-γ- Al2O3均能同时吸附SO2和NO,SO2和NO在Na-γ- Al2O3上吸附时相互作用,NO促进SO2氧化生成SO42-,SO2吸附量增加,SO2促进NO氧化转化,SO2也促使NO2脱附。气相氧促进了SO2和NO在Na-γ- Al2O3上的吸附以及SO2和NO的相互作用。     

Infrared absorption of CH3SO2 detected with time-resolved Fourier-transform spectroscopy

A step-scan Fourier-transform spectrometer coupled with a 6.4 m multipass absorption cell was employed to detect time-resolved infrared absorption spectra of the reaction intermediate CH3SO2 radical, produced upon irradiation of a flowing gaseous mixture of CH3I and SO2 in CO2 at 248 nm. Two transient bands with origins at 1280 and 1076 cm(-1) were observed and are assigned to the SO2-antisymmetric and SO2-symmetric stretching modes of CH3SO2, respectively. Calculations with density-functional theory (B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ and B3P86/aug-cc-pVTZ) predicted the geometry, vibrational, and rotational parameters of CH3SO2 and CH3OSO. Based on predicted rotational parameters, the simulated absorption band of the SO2-antisymmetric stretching mode that is dominated by the b-type rotational structure agrees satisfactorily with experimental results. In addition, a band near 1159 cm(-1) observed at a later period is tentatively attributed to CH3SO2I. The reaction kinetics of CH3 + SO2 --> CH3SO2 and CH3SO2 + I --> CH3SO2I based on the rise and decay of absorption bands of CH3SO2 and CH3SO2I agree satisfactorily with previous reports.     

Synthesis and photochromic properties of polymers containing spirooxazine groups

Two spirooxazine (SO) compounds containing bromobutyl substituents on 1-position (SO1) and 9′- position (SO2) have been synthesized and characterized by 1H-NMR, IR and ESI-MS in this paper. SO1-g-PMMA and SO2-g-PMMA polymer were prepared by grafting SO1 and SO2 onto PMMA through C-Br bonding sites. Also, SOs were doped into PMMA matrix to afford SO1-d-PMMA and SO2-d-PMMA. Photochromic behaviors of these compounds have been studied. Compared with SO1, SO2 exhibited better photoresponse and slower bleaching in dichloromethane solution. Inserted into polymer films, the decoloration process of SOs were significantly retarded and it was found that the fading curves fitted a first-order equation; As regard to four polymers, 1-position grafting (SO2-g-PMMA) can cause a higher reduction degree on the thermal fading rate.

Adsorption and thermal evolution of SO2 on Ru(0001)

Using high resolution S 2p and O 1s x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, the adsorption of SO2 and its surface bound reaction products on Ru(0001) have been investigated simultaneously while dosing SO2 and while heating the adsorbed species. SO2 is found to adsorb on Ru(0001) at 100 K molecularly in two variants as well as dissociatively and to react to SO3, SO4, SO, and S with increasing coverage. After the monolayer has been saturated, SO2 adsorbs molecularly in multilayers. When heating adsorbed SO2 from 100 K, SO, SO2, and SO4 decompose in a wide temperature range up to 305 K. In contrast SO3 is found to be stable bound to Ru(0001) up to 300 K and to disappear from the surface to below 325 K. At 550 K the surface remains with a saturated atomic sulfur and oxygen layer and some sulfur species in a second layer. Our quantitative analysis of the sulfur amount bound to the surface supports a simple desorption process only for SO4. All other species mainly or partly decompose on the surface.     

乙烯渣油沥青基活性炭纤维和粘胶基活性炭纤维的表面性质与脱硫活性

研究了在O2和H2O存在下,乙烯渣油沥青基活性炭纤维(ETPACF)和粘胶基活性炭纤维(CelluloseACF)的脱硫活性.结果表明,在比表面积相近的情况下,ETPACF的脱硫活性明显低于CelluloseACF,这可归因于后者具有较强的吸附和催化氧化SO2能力及较大的吸水量,尤其是具有较强的催化氧化SO2的能力,这些能力又与其表面含有含氮官能团以及某些含氧官能团有关,因此ACF的表面官能团对其脱硫活性影响很大.     

Experimental and theoretical study of the photophysics and structures of europium cryptates incorporating 3,3'-bi-isoquinoline-2,2'-dioxide.

A detailed photophysical study of [Eu within (biqO2.2.2)(CF3SO3)](CF3SO3)2. CH3CN.H2O (Eu within 1) and two other types of cryptates incorporating three 3,3'-biisoquinoline-2,2'-dioxide units has been performed. Structural crystallographic data of Eu within 1, electronic structure calculations and theoretical models were used to obtain the intramolecular energy transfer rates and the appropriate set of rate equations, which was solved numerically. Quantum yields and decay lifetimes were obtained from these results and compared to the experimental data. The role of the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) states was ascertained. A theoretical ligand field and intensity analysis was carried out and the results agree very well with the emission spectra. The molecular structures of the lanthanide cryptates were successfully modelled by the YIII ion using the restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) method, with the advantage of dealing with closed-shell systems. These molecular structures were used to explain the drastic differences in the photophysics of the three EuIII cryptates.
