In this study, the oxidation of SO 2 on activated carbon (AcC) by using distilled water and air was carried out in a laboratory scale trickle bed reactor (TBR). Distilled water and air containing 1.7 % (v/v) SO 2 were fed co-currently downward through a fixed bed of AcC particles in a range of 1ยฑ7 c

โฆ Synopsis
Kinetic and mechanistic studies extending over a decade have led researchen at the Institute of Catalysis in Russia to a kinetic as well as a reactor model for SO, oxidation capable of describing the rate of SO, oxidation at high SO, conversion and transient operating conditions. Using kinetic parameters and transport properties obtained for a Russian commercial catalyst, the Institute of Catalysis model was applied to simulate the experiments of Briggs et 01. in which the feed to a packed bed of an industrial, potassium-promoted, vanadia/silica catalyst was periodically switched from an $0,40,4,-N, mixture to air. These experiments displayed rapid temperature excursions on switching and SO, conversions that approached the equilibrium limit. Good agreement of the simulation with the measurements of Briggs et al.
was obtained. This result suggests the Institute of Catalysis model is robust and will be widely appIicable.
INTRODUCTlON
Understanding the mechanism of SO2 oxidation has challenged the experimental skill, theoretical knowledge and ingenuity of scientists for many decades. In recent years, progress has been rapid (
