Abstract
An experimental study is performed of the mechanism of sulfur dioxide–hydrogen interaction (4Н2 + 2SО2 → S2 + 4H2О) at temperatures of 623, 673, 723, and 773 K and a pressure of 198 Torr. The mechanism is analyzed via mathematical modeling. It is found to be a chain reaction of hydrogen oxidation with sulfur dioxide, which results in the formation of molecular sulfur (S2). The process is characterized by negative Gibbs free energy ΔG723 = −49.950 kcal/mol. The potential energy surface of the (HOSO + HOSO) system is studied by various means of quantum chemistry, and the thermodynamic parameters of the НОSO + НОSO → SO + SO2 + Н2О reaction are determined. A new mechanism of the reaction, supplemented by elementary acts, is discussed. Good agreement is found between energies of activation determined experimentally and calculated using data from our numerical kinetic analysis.
