Experimental Investigations of the Interaction of SO2 with MgO
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
High resolution adsorption isotherms, temperature programmed desorption (TPD), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) methods were used to investigate the interaction of SO2 with high quality MgO powders. The results of these investigations indicate that when SO2 is deposited on MgO in monolayer quantities at temperatures near 100K both SO3 and SO4 species form that are not removed by simply pumping on the pre-dosed samples at room temperature. TPD and XANES studies indicate that heating of pre-dosed MgO samples to temperatures above 350 °C is required for full removal of the SO3/SO4 species. XANES measurements made as a function of film thickness indicate for coverages near monolayer completion that the SO4 species form first.
