The catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, XPS and superconducting NMR. The influences of rn(catalyst)/m(oil), V(H202)fV(oil), reaction temperature and reaction time on the fractional conversion of benzothiophene (BT) and dibenzothiophene (DBT) were investigated. GC-MS and micra-coulometric methods were employed to investigate the reaction. The catalyst has high desulfurization activity in the removal of BT and DBT under mild conditions. The recycling experiments indicated that DBT and BT removal could still reach 95.2% and 95.7% after 10 cycles.展开更多

There are several virtues to this environmental friendly and clean process, including the nontoxic and harmless reagents and products, easy operations, no pollutants, easily obtained raw materials and moderate reaction conditions. The synthesized manganese dioxide was characterized by XRD and SEM. The particles were small, consisting primarily of α-MnO2 and γ-MnO2. Experimental results showed that the optimum conditions were: MnSOa.H20 to NaOH ratio, 1.0:2.4; catalyst concentration (catalyst TF-2), 6% of the MnSO4; initial solution pH, 11; reaction time and temperature, 20 min and 80 ℃; air flow, 0.20 m3/h; and, agitation rate, 700 r/rain. The conversion of MnSO4 can exceed 80% under these optimum conditions.展开更多

The results showed that the oxidation-reduction potential of the acidic solution was enhanced, the transformation rate of sulfuric acid to sulphuric acid was increased and the absorption driving force was improved in the presence of ozone. By comparing the amount of sulfate ions measured in the experiments and the theoretical amount of sulfate ions calculated from the amount of ozone consumed in the reaction, it can be confirmed that oxygen free radicals from dissociation of ozone are reactive as an efficient oxidant and oxygen from ozone generator participates in the reaction with SO2. 0.602 mol of effective oxygen was introduced into the reaction by one mole of ozone in 10.15 rain at sulphuric acid concentration of 3% (by mass), SO2 concentration of 1.33% (by volume) and oxygen flow rate of 1.5 L.min^-1 from ozone generator.展开更多

A pathway focused on the new PES assumes the reaction to take place between the radical complex SO3.HO2 and H2O. The unusual stability of SO3.HO2 is the principal basis of the new pathway, which has the same final outcome as the current reaction mechanism in the literature but it avoids the production and complete release of SO3. The entire reaction pathway is composed of three consecutive elementary steps: (1) HOSO2+O2-+SO3.HO2, (2) SO3.HO2+H20-+SO3·H2O·HO2, (3) SO3.H20.HO2-+H2SO4+HO2. All three steps have small energy barriers, under 10 kcal/rnol, and are exotherrnic, and the new pathway is there- fore favorable both kinetically and therrnodynarnically. As a key step of the reactions, step (3), HO2 serves as a bridge molecule for low-barrier hydrogen transfer in the hydrolysis of SO3. Two significant atmospheric implications are expected frorn the present study. First, SO3 is not released from the oxidation of SO2 by OH radical in the atmosphere. Second, the conversion of SO2 into sulfuric acid is weakly dependent on the humidity of air.展开更多

The results of the test indicated that high purity chlorine dioxide was the most effective biocide in the 3 disinfectants, and with a dosage of 0.5 mg/L, chlorine dioxide could obtain perfect effect. High purity chloride dioxide could have the excellent effect with the pH value of 6 to 10, and could keep it within 72 h. Chlorine and their mixture couldn’t reach the effect of chlorine dioxide.展开更多

By controlling the slow reaction rate and choosing appropriate mobile phase, HPLC provides the unique advantages over other methods (UV-Vis, chemical separation) in species tracking and kinetic study. In addition to thiourea and formamidine sulfinic acid, two unreported products were also detected in the hy- drolysis reaction. Mass spectrometry measurement indicates these two products to be formamidine sulfenic acid and thiocyan- ogen with mass weights of 92.28 and 116,36, respectively. In the oxidation of formamidine disulfide by hydrogen peroxide, besides thiourea, formamidine sulfenic acid, formamidine sulfinic acid, thiocyanogen and urea, formamidine sulfonic acid and sulfate could be detected. The oxidation reaction was found to be first order in both forrnamidine disulfide and hydrogen per- oxide. The rate constants of hydrolysis and oxidation reactions were determined in the pH range of 1.5-3.0. It was found both rate constants are increased with the increasing of pH. Experimental curves of different species can be effectively simulated via a mechanism scheme for formamidine disulfide oxidation, including hydrolysis equilibrium of formamidine disulfide and irre- versible hydrolysis of formamidine sulfenic acid.展开更多
