Combining ozone and UV-light for energy efficient removal of SOx in low-temperature flue gas

“…Hence, the MPSS can be observed to perform similarly to the LSI under these conditions. This low light absorption for gas-phase UV-O 3 systems was already reported by Montecchio et al [22]. The RAD and RAD-LSI models also yield very similar results owing to the nature of the RAD-LSI formulation.…”

“…The geometry of the modeled reactor is an annular cylinder where the reactor and the lamp have the same length. Dimensions for it have been taken from Montecchio et al [22].…”

“…Although some efforts have been made to include absorption terms a posteriori (i.e. after integration) [22] experimental fitting is required. This defeats the purpose of a priori modeling and hence the LSI model will only be employed for evaluating the value of the MPSS model with an infinite number of point light sources.…”

“…Reactor size. Finally, following Montecchio et al [22], the size of the reactor was studied. This was done for three different outer radius sizes as shown in Table . I.…”

“…This has the advantage of directly oxidizing NO while indirectly oxidizing SO 2 when exposed to UV light. Some studies that dealt with industrial pollution removal in gas-phase AOPs with O 3 include the work of Montecchio et al [22,22] for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the work of the research group of M. Johnson [23,21,24] for reduced sulfur compounds.…”
