| Abstract: | A novel photochemical impinging stream reactor was developed for the first time. Removal process of NO from flue gas using sulfate radical (  ·) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) from UV‐light activation of persulfate (UV/S2  advanced oxidation process) was investigated in the novel reactor. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of S2  concentration, solution pH, UV power, solution temperature, liquid‐gas ratio, flue gas flow, NO, SO2,and O2 concentrations on removal of NO. Mechanism and kinetics of NO removal were also studied. The results show that increasing UV power, solution temperature, S2  concentration, or solution circulation rate promotes NO removal. Increasing solution pH (1.2–11.9), NO concentration or flue gas flow weakens NO removal. O2 concentration has no significant effect on NO removal.  · and ·OH were the major active species for NO removal. Absorption rate equation and kinetic parameters of NO removal were obtained. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 63: 2968–2980, 2017 |
