Effect of NaClO-NH3 blend solution pH on the simultaneous removal
As the solution pH can influence the stability of NaClO-NH3 blend and the elimination of SO2, NOx, the impact of the pH of NaClO-NH3 blend solution on the instantaneous removal as well as the duration time was investigated, and the final pH after reaction was also detected and shown in Fig. 5. It can be seen that the variation of solution pH has a negligible effect on the desulfurization, but the elevated pH has a great promotion on the NOx removal, the efficiencies are significantly increased from 36% to 99% for NO2 in the pH range of 5–12 and from 19% to 65% for NO when the pH is between 5 and 10, after where, both of them are constant. Hence, the optimal pH of the NaClO-NH3 solution for the …show more content…

As shown in Fig. 5, the final pH of the NaClO-NH3 solution after simultaneous removal are 5.4, 6.9, 7.2, 7.5, 8.5, 9.6, 10.7, 11.5 and 12.8 with respect to the initial pH of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, from which, an interesting law can be concluded as that if the initial pH is an acidic, the final pH is slightly increased; but if the initial pH is an alkaline, the final pH is declined. NaClO-NH3 is macromolecule compounds with a large inter surface area. It contains abundant functional groups such as hydroxyl (OH), carboxyl (COO), quinone, amino (–NH2), etc, which determines that NaClO-NH3 is a salt of strong base and weak acid, as well the ionization equilibrium and hydrolytic equilibrium would be complicated. When the pH of the NaClO-NH3 solution was acidic, the functional groups such as OH, COO and NH2- would react with H+ to generate the NH3 sediment, resulting in a decrease of inter surface area owing to the block and a great loss of NaClO-NH3, then the NOx removal as well as the duration time was decreased. As for the increase of the final pH in the acidic conditions, this was a result of the consumption of H+ by NaClO. The decrease of the
