Basic rules of NO oxidation by Fe2+/H2O2/AA directional decomposition system

Abstract Basic rules of NO oxidation by a Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 /AA directional decomposition system were researched based on the technical background of flue gas NO x removal. Effects of gas‐liquid interfacial area, main gas, and solution parameters on NO oxidation efficiency ( η ) were analyzed. The results showed that adequate contact area was the precondition for high η by a Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 /AA system. η decreased with the increase in NO concentration, which illustrated that this method would be efficient in oxidizing NO at a low concentration. η tended to decrease linearly with the growth in gas flow, however, the NO oxidation rate ( v ) rose with the increase in NO concentration and gas flow. η increased with the initial concentrations of H 2 O 2 and Fe 2+ , but the amplitude decreased. Controlling the initial concentrations of H 2 O 2 and Fe 2+ to achieve reasonable synergies between generation rate and consumption rate of ·OH could weaken the invalid consumption of reactants. η increased with the increase in temperature in the range 30–60 °C, but it nearly did not change with temperature after 60 °C. This oxidation technology and the traditional wet flue gas desulphurization technology exhibited temperature synergy. Under typical pH of wet desulphurization, η and H 2 O 2 consumption rate did not change obviously.
