Abstract
We studied the effect of powdery silica on radiation removal of SO2 and NOx from mixtures of SO2, NOx, water vapour, oxygen and nitrogen under irradiation by electron beams of 1.5 MeV at 120°C. The SO2 and NOx concentrations decreased when powdery silica was fed without irradiation. Decrements of SO2 and NOx concentrations were markedly enhanced when powdery silica was fed together with the irradiation. The enhancement of SO2- and NOx-removal is attributed to the adsorption of SO2 and NO on the water-covered surface of powdery silica, and the effective removal of NO2 due to the reaction with water adsorbed on the surface of powdery silica. The results obtained show that the addition of powdery silica under irradiation is an effective method of enhancing the removal of SO2 and NOx.
