Photoabsorption spectra of H2S, CH3SH and SO2 near the sulfur K edge

Photoabsorption spectra of the isolated sulfur containing molecules H₂S, CH₃SH and SO₂ are measured at high resolution near the sulfur K edge, using synchrotron radiation. Resonances are observed in the discrete and continuum parts of the spectra. The most intense resonances are shown to result from virtual orbital effects on the basis of comparisons with the L edge photoabsorption spectra (H₂S, SO₂), the equivalent core model (SO₂) and low-energy electron scattering measurements (H₂S, SO₂).     

The electrolyte NRTL model and speciation approach as applied to multicomponent aqueous solutions of H2SO4, Fe2(SO4)3, MgSO4 and Al2(SO4)3 at 230–270 °C

This work presents chemical modeling of solubilities of metal sulfates in aqueous solutions of sulfuric acid at high temperatures. Calculations were compared with experimental solubility measurements of hematite (Fe₂O₃) in aqueous ternary and quaternary systems of H₂SO₄, MgSO₄ and Al₂(SO₄)₃ at high temperatures. A hybrid model of ion-association and electrolyte non-random two liquid (ENRTL) theory was employed to fit solubility data in three ternary systems H₂SO₄–MgSO₄–H₂O, H₂SO₄–Al₂(SO₄)₃–H₂O at 235–270 °C and H₂SO₄–Fe₂(SO₄)₃–H₂O at 150–270 °C. Employing the Aspen Plus™ property program, the electrolyte NRTL local composition model was used for calculating activity coefficients of the ions Al³⁺, Mg²⁺ Fe³⁺ and SO₄²⁻, HSO₄⁻, OH⁻, H₃O⁺, respectively, as well as molecular species. The solid phases were hydronium alunite (H₃O)Al₃(SO₄)₂(OH)₆, hematite Fe₂O₃ and magnesium sulfate monohydrate (MgSO₄)·H₂O which were employed as constraint precipitation solids in calculating the metal sulfate solubilities. A correlation for the equilibrium constants of the association reactions of complex species versus temperature was implemented. Based on the maximum-likelihood principle, the binary interaction energy parameters for the ionic species as well as the coefficients for equilibrium constants of the reactions were obtained simultaneously using the solubility data of the ternary systems. Following that, the solubilities of metal sulfates in the quaternary systems H₂SO₄–Fe₂(SO₄)₃–MgSO₄–H₂O, H₂SO₄–Fe₂(SO₄)₃–Al₂(SO₄)₃–H₂O at 250 °C and H₂SO₄–Al₂(SO₄)₃–MgSO₄–H₂O at 230–270 °C were predicted. The calculated results were in excellent agreement with the experimental data.     

Temperature dependence of CH2 (ã A1) removal rates by Ar, NO and H2

Absolute rate constants for the removal of CH₂ (ã ¹A₁) by Ar, NO and H₂ have been measured over the temperature range 295–431 K using laser flash kinetic absorption spectroscopy. For NO and H₂, no marked temperature dependence is observed. For Ar, the rate constants increase by some 50% over this range and the results are discussed in terms of a theoretical model which relates the removal rate constants to the fractional population of CH₂ (ã ¹A₁) in states perturbed by nearby triplet levels.     

Metallorganische lewissäuren : XX. Reaktionen von (π-C5H5)(CO)2LM-X (L = CO, PR3; M = Mo, W; X = BF4, PF6, AsF6, SbF6) mit Schwefel-haltigen liganden

The compounds (π-C₅H₅)(CO)₂LM-X (L = CO, PR₃; M = Mo, W; X = BF₄, PF₆, AsF₆, SbF₆) react with H₂S, p-MeC₆H₄SH, Ph₂S and Ph₂SO(L′) to give ionic complexes [(π-C₅H₅)(CO)₂LML′]⁺ X⁻. Also sulfur-bridged complexes, [(π-C₅H₅)(CO)₃W---SH---W(CO)₃(π-C₅H₅)]⁺ AsF₆⁻ and [(π-C₅H₅)(CO)₃M-μ-S₂C=NCH₂Ph-M(CO)₃(π-C₅H₅)], have been obtained. Reactions with SO₂ and CS₂ have been examined.     

Synthesis, characterization and the unpleasantly disordered crystal structure of Ir(Ome)(CO)(PPh3)2(SO4)

The adducts of O₂ and SO₂ with trans-MeOIr(CO)(PPh₃)₂ are formed in equilibria and have been characterized. Reaction of the SO₂ adduct, Ir(OMe)(SO₂)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ with dioxygen leads to the sulfato complex, Ir(Ome)(CO)(PPh₃)₂(SO₄), the structure of which has been determined. Ir(Ome)(CO)(PPh₃)₂(SO₄) crystallizes in the monoclinic system with a 11.958(2), b 14.163(3), c 12.231(2) Å, β 118.365(12)°, V 1822.7(6) ų and Z = 2. Diffraction data for 2θ = 4.5–45.0° (Mo-K) were collected with a Syntex P2₁ diffractometer and the structure was solved (assuming space group P2₁/m and an unpleasant 2-fold disordered model) and refined to R = 4.8% for all 2512 independent data (R = 3.5% for those 2042 data with ¦F_O¦ > 6σ(¦F¦)). The iridium(III) atom has a distorted octahedral coordination sphere with trans PPh₃ ligands and a cis-chelating bidentate O,O′-SO₄ group; the structure is completed by mutually cis OMe and CO ligands.     

Effect of SO2 on the NO Oxidation over NiO/γAl2O3 Catalyst

NO is the dominant component of NO_x. It can be easily oxidized to NO₂ over active catalysts in the oxidizing exhaust gases. And then, the high reactive NO₂ can be removed completely further through adsorption or absorption approach. However, SO₂,another main contaminant in the exhaust, is well known to poison the oxidative catalysts. A strong deactivation for metal oxides supported on Al₂O₃ was found when catalysts had been exposed to the gas containing 500ppm SO₂. It was also reported that the inhibition effect of SO₂ was enhanced at low temperatures. But recently, some studies declare that the oxidation of propane can be promoted over Pt/γ-Al₂O₃ if a small amount of SO₂ (20 ppm) is present in the feed gas^[1]. Jang et al. have also found that SO₂ has a promoting effect for the oxidation of NO to NO₂ over CO₃O₄/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst^[2]. These observations are meaningful because the existence of SO₂ in the oxidizing exhaust is often inevitable and the problem of catalyst deactivation by SO₂ has puzzled researchers for a long time.     

Electron beam treatment of lignite-burning flue gas with high concentrations of sulfur dioxide and water

Experiments were carried out to investigate the removals of SO₂ and NO_x from simulated lignite-burning flue gas containing SO₂ (4800 ppm), NO (320 ppm) and H₂O (22%) by electron beam irradiation. Removal efficiencies of SO₂ and NO_x were achieved to reach 97 and 88% at 70°C, and 74 and 85% at 80°C, respectively, with the dose of 10.3 kGy without NH₃ leakage. The higher removal efficiencies of SO₂ and NO_x were observed in simulated lignite-burning flue gas than in coal-fired flue gas containing 800 ppm of SO₂, 225 ppm of NO and 7.5% H₂O at the same treatment condition. The higher removal efficiencies were attributed to the higher concentrations of SO₂, H₂O, and added NH₃. Simulation calculations indicated that the higher concentrations of these components enhance the effective radical reactions to oxidize NO to form NO₂ with HO₂ radical, and to oxidize SO₂ to form SO₃ with OH radical and O₂. The reactions of NO_x with N and NH₂ radicals to produce N₂ and N₂O also promote the NO_x removal. By-product was determined to be the mixture of (NH₄)₂SO₄ and NH₄NO₃ containing a small amount of H₂SO₄.     

Membrane purification of Cl2 gas: I. Permeabilities as a function of temperature for Cl2, O2, N2, H2 in two types of PDMS membranes

Permeability (P) of Cl₂, O₂, N₂ and H₂ was measured in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite membranes with two different degrees of cross-linking. The permeability was measured in the low pressure range (1–3 bar absolute) over a fairly large temperature range 35–120°C. The functionalities of the membranes were compared on the basis of permeation rate and ability to separate the gases Cl₂–O₂. These results are part of an extensive survey where perfluorinated and carbon membranes are also included (not reported here). The purpose of the project is to develop an industrial membrane with high permselectivity for either O₂ or Cl₂ (depending on the type of membrane) at temperatures preferably above 70°C. Process conditions are set in an industrial project. The PDMS membranes are good candidates for this separation, having a high permeation rate for Cl₂ and a selectivity of Cl₂/O₂ in the range of 8–25 depending on temperature. Durability of the PDMS membranes in this aggressive environment is found to be very dependent on process conditions and on how the material is polymerized and cured. For documentation of durability, various silicones were tested; these results are to be reported separately.     

添加Cl离子对V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2催化剂低温NO转化率的影响

考察添加不同含量Cl离子对浸渍法制备的Cl-V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2催化剂低温NO转化率的影响。随着Cl离子质量添加量从0增加到2.5%,Cl-V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2催化剂NO转化率先升高后降低,结合在含有SO_2和H2O的SCR实验结果,确定1.5%Cl-V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2为性能最优催化剂。在反应温度为149-362℃,NO转化率大于95%;在145-385℃,NO转化率大于90%。采用XRF、BET、XRD、TG、FT-IR和H2-TPR等方法表征了催化剂的物理化学性能和结构。结果表明,在反应气氛中加入SO_2和H2O后,催化剂比表面积和孔容均减小,副反应产物含有NH+4和SO_2-4。适量Cl离子可以抑制硫物种沉积,减少副反应产物生成,增强催化剂抗中毒能力。     

Mn-V-Ce/TiO_2低温催化还原NO性能研究

采用浸渍法制备了NH3选择性催化还原(SCR)NO新型催化剂Mn-V-Ce/TiO2,考察了操作条件对其活性的影响;通过NO、O2、NH3的暂态响应实验分析了在该催化剂上进行SCR反应的机理;对催化剂进行了FT-IR和TG分析,探讨了H2O、SO2对其活性的影响。结果表明,该催化剂具有很好的低温SCR活性,空速5 000 h-1、150℃下的NO转化率达99.2%。170℃下同时通硫、水后的350 min内,活性始终保持在98%;单独通入SO2时,中毒速率较快,但体积分数为8%的H2O对该催化剂的活性没有影响,转化率始终保持在98%以上。该催化剂能应用于不含SO2的燃气锅炉烟气和不含SO2的硝酸尾气等NOx工业废气的低温脱硝。     

CO_2气氛对煤热解过程中硫逸出的影响

采用热解-质谱(Py-MS)与热解-气相色谱(Py-GC)相结合的方法对平朔(PS)和义马(YM)原煤、脱灰煤及其脱黄铁矿煤进行了热解实验,考察了CO_2气氛对煤热解过程中硫逸出行为的影响。并采用质谱在线分析H_2S、COS和SO_2的逸出曲线,利用气相色谱分析H_2S、COS和SO_2在气相中的逸出量。结果表明,CO_2气氛有利于H_2S、COS和SO_2进入气相,且逸出量增加,而COS增加幅度更大。同时,CO_2气氛有利于H_2S和SO_2最大逸出峰温提前。另外,CO_2气氛对原煤的H_2S、COS和SO_2逸出温度影响较大,但对脱灰煤的影响较小。在较高的温度下,CO_2有利于煤中稳定有机硫的分解。这进一步验证了在较高温度下COS形成与CO相关,而在较低温度下与CO无关。     

Heat capacities of the tungsten oxides WO3, W20O58, W18O49 and WO2

The heat capacities of the tungsten oxides WO₃, W₂₀O₅₈, W₁₈O₄₉ and WO₂ have been measured over the temperature range 340–999 K using differential scanning calorimetry. The lower oxides were prepared by controlled reduction of WO₃ in H₂/H₂O gas atmospheres. Previous calorimetric work on WO₃ is confirmed in the temperature range 340–800 K, however, significant increases in heat capacity were observed in the range 800–999 K prior to the orthorhombic—tetragonal phase transition. W₂₀O₅₈ is shown to behave similarly to WO₃. A high temperture phase change is evident, however, this appears to be complete by 970–990 K. The measured values of heat capacity for W₁₈O₄₉ are in close agreement with estimated data for W₁₈O₄₉. There is no evidence of any phase transitions for this oxide in the temperature range studied. The heat capacity data for WO₂ confirm previous drop calorimetry measurements and give no evidence of any phase changes for WO₂ in the temperature range 340–990 K.

Geometries and vibrational frequencies of complexes of cationic coinage metal clusters M_n⁺ (M=Cu, Ag, Au; n=1–4) and H₂S are computed using density functional theory. Thermochemical values for M_n⁺H₂S decomposition channels involving loss of an H atom, H₂ molecule, M atom, or M₂ molecule are also computed. Significantly different results are obtained for closed-shell (n odd) and open-shell (n even) complexes.

Homogeneous and heterogeneous radiation induced NO and SO2 removal from power plants flue gases-modeling study

The generalized mathematical model has been developed for radiation induced removal of NO and SO₂ from flue gases of power plants. This model includes energy absorption of electron beam with active species generation, reactions in gas phase, aerosol formation and growth, and liquid-phase chemistry. To investigate the role of various process parameters (initial NO and SO₂ concentrations, temperature, humidity, absorbed dose) a number of numerical calculations has been carried out. Computer modeling results are in good agreement with reported experimental data.     

Hydrodeoxygenation of benzofuran over sulfided and reduced Ni–Mo/γ-Al2O3 catalysts: Effect of H2S

Effect of H₂S on the catalytic performance of the reduced and sulfided Ni–Mo/Al₂O₃ catalysts in hydrodeoxygenation of benzofuran is studied. The steady-state reaction experiments showed a decrease in activity for both reduced and sulfided catalysts when H₂S was introduced into the feed. The reaction conversion of benzofuran over the reduced catalyst still remained superior to that of the sulfided catalyst in the presence of H₂S, however, at high reaction temperatures, the product distribution over the pre-reduced catalyst is similar to the sulfided catalyst. The studies with temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), temperature-programmed reaction (TPRxn) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques showed a partial sulfidation of the reduced catalysts when exposed to H₂S under reaction conditions, however, the catalyst does not go through a complete conversion to a molybdenum sulfide phase. Instead oxygen–sulfur exchange on the surface leaves behind oxisulfide species, with catalytic activity closely resembling that of the reduced catalysts. The effect of H₂S on the reaction performance is mainly coming from the competitive adsorption between H₂S and benzofuran and the formation of SH groups with decomposition of H₂S at high temperatures.     

On the origin of the splittings of the ν3(SO4) modes in the specular reflectance IR spectra of gypsum

The IR polarized spectra of gypsum CaSO₄·2H₂O were recorded at incidence angles of approximately 10 and 16 degrees. Band singlet or doublet was observed for the higher frequency ν₃(SO₄²⁻) mode of B_u symmetry type, depending on polarization (n or p). A doublet was observed for the lower frequency ν₃(SO₄²⁻) mode of B_u symmetry type too, irrespectively of the type of polarization. In order to give an explanation for the doublets origin, a model permittivity function was constructed. Quite good agreement exists between the reflectance based on the model permittivity function and the experimentally measured one for the high-frequency doublet. The origin of the lower frequency doublet could not be explained in this way, but may be speculated to result from an Evans type interaction between a combination of a water libration and ν₂(SO₄²⁻), with the lower frequency ν₃(SO₄²⁻) mode.     

Catalytic decomposition of H2O2 on Co3O4 doped with MgO and V2O5

The effects of doping of Co₃O₄with MgO (0.4–6 mol%) and V₂O₅ (0.20–0.75 mol%) on its surface and catalytic properties were investigated using nitrogen adsorption at −196°C and decomposition of H₂O₂ at 30–50°C. Pure and doped samples were prepared by thermal decomposition in air at 500–900°C, of pure basic cobalt carbonate and basic carbonate treated with different proportions of magnesium nitrate and ammonium vanadate. The results revealed that, V₂O₅ doping followed by precalcination at 500–900°C did not much modify the specific surface area of the treated Co₃O₄ solid. Treatment of Co₃O₄ with MgO at 500–900°C resulted in a significant increase in the specific surface area of cobaltic oxide. The catalytic activity in H₂O₂ decomposition, of Co₃O₄ was found to suffer a considerable increase by treatment with MgO. The maximum increase in the catalytic reaction rate constant (k) measured at 40°C on Co₃O₄ due to doping with 3 mol% MgO attained 218, 590 and 275% for the catalysts precalcined at 500, 700 and 900°C, respectively. V₂O₅-doping of Co₃O₄ brought about a significant progressive decrease in its catalytic activity. The maximum decrease in the reaction rate constant measured at 40°C over the 0.75 mol% V₂O₅-doped Co₃O₄ solid attained 68 and 93% for the catalyst samples precalcined at 500 and 900°C, respectively. The doping process did not modify the activation energy of the catalyzed reaction but much modified the concentration of catalytically active constituents without changing their energetic nature. MgO-doping increased the concentration of CO³⁺–CO²⁺ ion pairs and created Mg²⁺–CO³⁺ ion pairs increasing thus the number of active constituents involved in the catalytic decomposition of H₂O₂. V₂O₅-doping exerted an opposite effect via decreasing the number of CO³⁺–CO²⁺ ion pairs besides the possible formation of cobalt vanadate.

γ-Al2O3对SCR脱硝催化剂V2O5-WO3/TiO2的改性研究

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了不同γ-Al₂O₃含量的钛铝复合载体,以此为载体采用浸渍法负载V₂O₅和WO₃制备了一系列催化剂。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、比表面积测定(BET)、程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)、高分辨率透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)等表征技术对催化剂表面形态进行分析,同时在模拟氨气选择性催化还原NO(NH₃-SCR)的反应条件下,对催化剂的脱硝反应活性和SO₂抗中毒进行考察。结果发现,TiO₂和γ-Al₂O₃之间的协同作用使得V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂-γ-Al₂O₃催化剂的脱硝效率及活性窗口明显优于单一载体制备的催化剂,表现出了良好的热稳定性和抗SO₂毒化能力,特别是V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂-15% γ-Al₂O₃在310~460 ℃,NO的转化率均在80%以上,反应窗口最宽。各种表征结果表明,TiO₂-γ-Al₂O₃复合载体中γ-Al₂O₃高度分散在TiO₂上,复合载体具有较大的比表面积,同时具有较强的还原能力。
