Abstract: The formation mechanism of Fe(Ⅱ)(aq) and sulfate via heterogeneous reaction of SO2 oxidation on the surface of Fe2O3was investigated at the normal temperature, pressure and in the presence of oxygen by DRIFTS, XPS, HPLC and IC. The results revealed that the reaction activity of SO2with Fe2O3 was closely related to the amount of absorbed water on the surface of Fe2O3, which was favorable for the formation of Fe(Ⅱ)(aq) and S(Ⅵ). Under ambient
condition[T=291 K, relative humidity(RH)=68%] within 30 min, for 1 mg Fe2O3 with the exhaustion of 53.6 μg SO2, it could produce 12.6 ng Fe(Ⅱ)(aq) and 56.2 μg SO2-4. The concentration of the product, [SO2-4], was three orders of magnitude higher than that of Fe(Ⅱ)(aq), indicating that large amount of SO2-4 production was formed via catalysis by the transitional metal Fe. The reaction mechanism of SO2 oxidation on Fe2O3 is proposed.
