The catalytic hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide (COS) and the effect of small clusters of H2O and H2SO4 have been studied by theoretical calculations. The addition of H2SO4 could increase the enthalpy change (ΔH<0) and decrease relative energy of products (relative energy<0), resulting in hydrolysis reaction changed from an endothermic reaction to an exothermic reaction. Further, H2SO4 decreases the energy barrier by 5.25 kcal/mol, and it enhances the catalytic hydrolysis through the hydrogen transfer effect. The (COS + H2SO4-H2O) reaction has the lowest energy barrier of 29.97 kcal/mol. Although an excess addition of H2O and H2SO4 increases the energy barrier, decreases the catalytic hydrolysis, which is consistent with experimental observations. The order of the energy barriers for the three reactions from low to high are as follows: COS + H2SO4-H2O < COS + H2O + H2SO4-H2O < COS + H2O+(H2SO4)2. Kinetic simulations show that the addition of H2SO4 can increase the reaction rate constants. Consequently, adding an appropriate amount of sulfuric acid promotes the catalytic hydrolysis of COS both kinetically and thermodynamically.
