摘要
For ammonia flue gas desulfurization (FGD), the sulfite to sulfate oxidation is very critical for industrial applications. This paper reports a novel corona plasma-induced oxidation technique to convert concentrated ammonium sulfites to sulfates in an aqueous solution. The streamer corona plasmas are generated with a do superimposed ac power source. Ammonium sulfite solution is sprayed in a reactor by using two-phase nozzles. When the sulfite concentration is around 1-3 mol L-1, the oxidation efficiency after one-cycle processing is in the range of 20-60%. Multiple-cycle. treatments can be used to improve the oxidation efficiency. The energy consumption is around 20 Wh mol(-1). Based on the present investigations, we anticipate that an industrial plasma-assisted ammonium FGD can be applied in industries. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
