Abstract

A large amount of SO2 and a small amount of SO3 are emitted from coal-fired power plants.The generation of SO3 is not only harmful to the environment,but also dangerous to the safe operation of the power plant.Current studies show that Fe2O3 contained in the fly ash and the boiler wall have a significant catalytic effect on the SO3 formation. However,the research on the path and mechanism of SO3 catalytic formation by Fe2 O3 is not deep enough.In this paper,the α-Fe2 O3(001) surface was established firstly,and the adsorp⁃ tion configuration of SO2 and O2 on α-Fe2O3(001)surface was studied by density functional theory(DFT).The stable adsorption configura⁃ tion of SO2 and the dissociation pathway of O2 on Fe2O3(001)surface were obtained.The reaction path and energy barrier of catalytic for⁃ mation of SO3 on α-Fe2 O3 surface were studied by using transition state search method.Then the energy barrier of catalytic formation of SO3 in gas phase reaction were compared.The results show that the most stable adsorption configuration of SO2 is that O and S atom in SO2 are adsorbed above Fe atoms on α - Fe2O3,while S atom is not easy to be adsorbed above lattice oxygen of α-Fe2O3 crystal.The adsorption energy of O2 on α-Fe2O3 surface is greater than the maximum adsorption energy of SO2,which means that O2 is more easily ad⁃ sorbed on α-Fe2O3 surface.In addition,O2 is easy to dissociate and form O atom on the defect Fe2O3 surface with oxygen vacancy,which indicates that α- Fe2O3 with oxygen vacancy is easier to promote the dissociation of O2 and the generation of adsorbed oxygen on the sur⁃ face.The L-H mechanism of SO3 formation is that SO2 and O atoms in the gas phase are adsorbed firstly on the α-Fe2O3 surface,and then combine to form SO3,and the reaction energy barrier is 231.65 kJ/ mol.The E-R mechanism is that SO2 in the gas phase reacts with adsorbed oxygen on α-Fe2O3 surface to form SO3 while the reaction energy barrier is 24.82 kJ/ mol,which is less than that of L-H mecha⁃ nism and far less than that of SO3 formation in gas phase reaction.The above results confirm that Fe2O3 has a significant catalytic effect on the formation of SO3,and the E-R mechanism is the dominant reaction mechanism.The existence of oxygen vacancy promotes the dissocia⁃ tion of O2 on the surface of α - Fe2O3,and the surface adsorbed oxygen plays an important role in the catalytic process.
