Abstract
En 中文
Whereas 95 % of SO2 from flue gas streams is removed by conventional flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) technologies, multi-stage energy-intensive and waste-generating scrubbing is needed to meet current emission standards (≤35 ppm) and requirements for processes such as CO2 capture and denitrification (<10 ppm). Despite the availability of numerous methods and materials for desulfurization, the integrated capture and conversion of trace SO2 remains challenges. Herein, we report that the layered metal-organic framework (MOF) BUT-86 captures trace (100 ppm) SO2 from simulated flue gas to afford effluent SO2 levels < 10 ppb. Performance is driven by exceptional SO2/CO2 selectivity at 80 % RH. Captured SO2 can be subsequently removed by room temperature conversion to 2-hydroxypropane-2-sulfonic acid to regenerate BUT-86. Reactive SO2 binding involving bisulfite formation that requires the presence of adsorbed water drives the performance of BUT-86, the first sorbent that enables integrated trace SO2 capture and conversion from flue gas.
