Magnesia flue gas desulfurization is a promising process for small to medium scale industrial coal-fired boilers in order to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions, in which oxidation control of magnesium sulfite is of great importance for the recycling of products. Effects of four inhibitors were compared by kinetic experiments indicating that ascorbic acid is the best additive, which retards the oxidation process of magnesium sulfite in trace presence. The macrokinetics of magnesium sulfite oxidation inhibited by ascorbic acid were studied. Effects of the factors, including ascorbic acid concentration, magnesium sulfite concentration, oxygen partial pressure, pH, and temperature, were investigated in a stirred reactor with bubbling. The results show that the reaction rate is -0.55 order in ascorbic acid, 0.77 in oxygen partial pressure, and zero in magnesium sulfite concentration, respectively. The apparent activation energy is 88.0 kJ mol(-1). Integrated with the kinetic model, it is concluded that the oxidation rate of magnesium sulfite inhibited by ascorbic acid is controlled by the intrinsic chemical reaction. The result provides a useful reference for sulfite recovery in magnesia desulfurization.

The recent development of NH as a fuel has led to significant emissions of NO, a major greenhouse gas. Direct catalytic NO decomposition (de-NO) is a promising technology for NO emissions control because it effectively decomposes NO at low temperatures without requiring reducing agents or producing other pollutants. In marine applications, to improve the flame properties, NH is often mixed with marine diesel oil, which contains sulfur.

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a highly toxic substance in wastewater, triggering grievous detriment to aquatic life and human health. Magnesium sulfite is spawned along with the desulfurization process in coal-fired power plants, which is usually disposed of as solid waste. Here, a "waste control by waste" method was proposed upon the redox of Cr(VI)-sulfite, in which highly toxic Cr(VI) is detoxicated and sequent enriched on a novel biochar-induced cobalt-based silica composite (BISC) due to the forced electron transfer from chromium to surface hydroxyl.

Cobalt (Co)-based catalysts can efficiently reduce the heat waste from sulfate concentration by enhancing sulfite oxidation during wet flue gas desulfurization system. However, arsenic (As) can poison such catalysts and migrate into the sulfate by-products, resulting in severe secondary pollution. In this study, a zero-valent Co/iron (Fe)-based nanoparticle (NZV-CoFe) was fabricated and applied as a bifunctional catalyst/adsorbent.

Oxidation-reduction-absorption based on sulfite is a promising process for simultaneous removal of NO and SO. However, excessive oxidation of sulfite and competitive absorption between NO and SO limit its application. A matching strategy between antioxidants and alkaline agents has been proposed to solve these problems and enhance the absorption process.
