A novel wet-scrubbing process using Fe(vi) for simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO

Abstract

The objective of this work was to develop a novel wet-scrubbing process using Fe(VI) for the simultaneous removal of gaseous NO and SO2. The oxidation of SO2 and NO with Fe(VI) was studied in aqueous solution at alkaline pH (9.0–11.0). A stoichiometric molar ratio for NO and SO2 oxidation with Fe(VI) was determined to be nearly 3.0. Sulfate and nitrate was identified as final products by ion chromatography from the reaction at pH 9.0–11.0. The feasibility of simultaneous removal of multiple gas pollutants with the continuous feeding of ferrate in lab-scale was investigated from the view of industrial application. It was found that the removal efficiency of NO and SO2 was enhanced with the increase of Fe(VI) concentration, more than 90% NO removal efficiency and 100% SO2 removal efficiency were achieved by wet-scrubbing process using Fe(VI) at room temperature and ambient atmosphere. The results demonstrate that Fe(VI) could be an effective wet-scrubbing agent for the simultaneous removal of NO and SO2.
