Effect of CO2/O2 on Catalytic Reduction of NO by Iron

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the results of the reaction between metallic iron mesh rolls and NO in the presence of CO2/O2 at different temperatures. All experiments were carried out in a ceramic tube controlled by the temperature programmed electrical furnace. About 99% NO reduction was achieved when temperature was above 700°C in the absence of CO2/O2. Results showed that CO2 in the flue gas had little effect on the NO reduction. NO reduction efficiencies were observed to exceed 95% for all CO2 concentrations at above 700°C. The addition of O2, however, caused a sudden drop by about 76% in NO reduction efficiency. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) results showed that the oxidation of iron in O2 atmosphere led to a more continuous and impervious oxide layer than that in CO2 atmosphere. Results using X-ray diffraction (XRD) to detect the iron samples after reactions revealed that FeO, Fe3O4, Fe and Fe2O3 were formed in CO2 atmosphere, but Fe3O4 and Fe2O3 were formed when O2 was added.
