Oxidation inhibition of sulfite in dual alkali flue gas desulfurization system Abstract A laboratory-scale well-mixed thermostatic reactor with continuously blasting air was used to investigate the oxidation inhibition of sulfite in dual alkali flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system. The effects of operating parameters such as pH value and catalyst concentration on the oxidation were studied. Sodium thiosulfate was used in the system, and was found that it significantly inhabited the sulfite oxidation. In the absence of catalyst, sodium thiosulfate at 12.67 mmol/L had an inisibition efficiency of approximately 98%. While in the presence of catalyst, sodium thiosulfate at 26.72 mmol/L had an inhibition efficiency less than 85.0%. The oxidation reaction order of sulfite in the sodium thiosulfate was determined to be —1.90 and —0.55 in the absence and presence of the catalyst, respectively. Apparent activation energy of oxidation inhibition was calculated to be 53.9 kJ/mol. Pilot tests showed that the consumption rate of thiosulfate agreed well with the laboratory-scale experimental results. Key words: dual alkali; sodium sulfite; oxidation inhibition; sodium thiosulfate Introduction Cs(Iv) is the concentration of S, CM is the concentration of catalyst and C02 is oxygen pressure. The parameters such as oxygen concentration and sulfite concentration were confirmed consistently both in homogeneous and hetero geneous system by theoretical and experimental studies. However, there are few work have been done on the effect of the catalyst concentration and pH value on oxidation rate. Sodium thiosulfate was demonstrated to be an effective oxidation inhibitor, which is widely used in industry. Pilot tests were made on sodium thiosulfate oxidation inhabitation in the sodium sulfite/bisulfite solution for a limestone regenerated dual alkali system (Chang and Kaplan, 1983). The successful application had been per formed in a magnesium-enhanced lime system at
