Abstract:
Oxidation of magnesium sulfite is important for recycle of byproduct in the magnesium desulfurization. The oxidation rate of magnesium sulfite, prepared by vacuum evaporation method, was investigated in a bubbling tank in presence of transition metal catalysts, which shows cobalt is the most effective. The general reaction orders with respect to cobalt, magnesium sulfite, and oxygen are 0.44, 0, and 0.46, respectively, and the apparent activity energy is 17.43 KJ·mol. The catalytic performance of cobalt compared with other metals was also analyzed employing the ion potential theory. Integrated with the three-phase reaction model, we inferred that the general oxidation rate of magnesium sulfite is controlled by mass transfer of oxygen. Further, the intrinsic kinetics was predicted, indicating that the reaction orders with respect to cobalt and oxygen are 1.0 and 0, respectively. The results are helpful for the recycle of magnesium sulfite in magnesia desulfurization.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
