Abstract
A purification
system for simultaneous removal of SO<sub>2</sub>, NO, and CO<sub>2</sub> in flue gas was considered in this study. For improving the
purification performance of candidate adsorbent NaX zeolite, ion exchange
experiments were conducted with cation K<sup>+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, Mn<sup>2+</sup>, and Co<sup>2+</sup>, respectively. The texture
properties of series zeolites were examined by N<sub>2</sub> porosimetry,
X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)
analyses. Among the sorbents investigated, K–NaX zeolite exhibited
the best result to remove SO<sub>2</sub>, NO, and CO<sub>2</sub> all
together. XPS results revealed that SO<sub>2</sub> has been oxidized
to form SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2–</sup> on the solid surface; however,
species N and C have not been observed. In order to understand the
coadsorption effects, pure component, binary, ternary components,
and mimic flue gas breakthrough experiments were designed and carried
out. It suggested that SO<sub>2</sub> and NO was bonded on the adsorbent
surface with degradation of NO. A little competitive effect of CO<sub>2</sub> on SO<sub>2</sub> and NO adsorption system were found. Finally,
monitoring of coadsorption venting gas, thermodynamic equilibrium
species simulation, TPD experiment, and quantum chemical calculation
technology were used to examine the interactive effect
