Simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification of flue gas by pre-ozonation combined with ammonia absorption

A process of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification of flue gas was conducted in this study.The flue gas containing 200 mg·m^-3NO,1000-4000 mg·m^-3SO(2,)3%-9%O(2)and 10%-20%CO(2)was first oxidized b(y)O3 and then absorbed by ammonia in a bubbling reactor.Increasing the ammonia concentration or the SO2 content in flue gas can promote the absorption of NOx and extend the effective absorption time.On the contrary,both increasing the absorbent temperature or the O(2)content shorten the effective absorption time of NO((x.))The change of solution pH had substantial influence on NOx absorption.In the presence of CO(2)the NOx removal efficiency reached 89.2%when the absorbent temperature was raised to 60℃and the effective absorption time can be maintained for 8 h,which attribute to the buffering effect in the absorbent.Besides,both the addition of Na(2)S2 O3 and urea can promote the NOx removal efficiency when the absorbent temperature is 25℃and the addition of Na(2)S2 O3 had achieved better results.The advantage of adding Na(2)S2 O3 became less evident at higher absorbent temperature and coexistence of CO(2.)In all experiments,SO(2)removal efficiency was always above 99%,and it was basically not affected by the above factors.

Plasma-catalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride over Mn/γ-Al2O3 catalysts in a dielectric barrier discharge reactor

A coaxial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor was used for plasma-catalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride over a series of Mn/γ-Al2O3 catalysts prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method.The combination of plasma and the Mn/γ-Al2O3 catalysts significantly enhanced the degradation efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride compared to the plasma process alone,with the 10% Mn/γ-Al2O3 catalyst exhibiting the best tetracycline hydrochloride degradation efficiency.A maximum degradation efficiency of 99.3% can be achieved after 5 min oxidation and a discharge power of 1.3 W,with only 69.7% by a single plasma process.The highest energy yield of the plasma-catalytic process is 91.7 g kWh-1.Probable reaction mechanisms of the plasma-catalytic removal of tetracycline hydrochloride were also proposed.
