Simultaneous removal of NOx and SO₂ is carried out by an oxidation-absorption process, which NO oxidized by active hydroxyl radicals (·OH) derived from catalytic decomposition of vaporized H₂O₂ over Fe₃O₄/TiO₂ and then adsorbed by NaOH solution along with SO₂. Fe₃O₄/TiO₂ synthesized by wet impregnation method with an additional reduction under H₂ atmosphere was characterized by XRD, FTIR, BET, XPS, and VSM analysis. Effects of H₂O₂ concentration, H₂O₂ injection rate, reaction temperature, gas flow rate, and flue gas component on simultaneous removal were investigated. The experimental results show that NO can be effectively oxidized by highly reactive ·OH radicals generated from H₂O₂ decomposition over Fe₃O₄/TiO₂ catalyst, and removal efficiencies of 93.31% for NO, 85.90% for NOx, and 100% for SO₂ were obtained. The surface zero-valent iron (Fe⁰) and divalent iron (Fe²⁺) are the key factors of the catalytic oxidation with hydroxyl radical. H₂O₂ adsorption and dissociation mechanism on catalyst surface was studied using DFT calculation. The calculation results demonstrate that H₂O₂ prefers to dissociate on iron containing surface, and ·OH radicals generation follow by Haber-Weiss (H–W) mechanism. The stable oxidative product of HNO₂ and HNO₃ were generated through NO/NO₂ and H₂O₂ co-adsorption on the FeO/TiO₂ (0 0 1) surface.
