为了认识痕量元素As在飞灰中的富集特性,利用密度泛函理论研究了砷的典型氧化物AsO在飞灰中的主要成分SiO_2模型上的吸附机理,对优化后的吸附构型进行能量计算、AIM理论、Mulliken电荷分析以及定域化轨道指示函数(LOL)填色图分析,剖析了...为了认识痕量元素As在飞灰中的富集特性,利用密度泛函理论研究了砷的典型氧化物AsO在飞灰中的主要成分SiO_2模型上的吸附机理,对优化后的吸附构型进行能量计算、AIM理论、Mulliken电荷分析以及定域化轨道指示函数(LOL)填色图分析,剖析了AsO与SiO_2表面的相互作用。结果表明,AsO在无定型SiO_2表面的缺陷位的吸附能均大于50 k J/mol,吸附构型均为典型的化学吸附。在无定型SiO_2缺陷活性位点形成的As-Si键、Si-O键和As-O键强度较大,均属于共价键;SiO_2与AsO之间为共价相互作用。展开更多
