Description 713-716
The kinetics of oxidation of aqueous SO<sub>2</sub> in acetate buffered suspensions of MgO obeys rate law (i)<br> R<sub>obs</sub> = <em>k</em>[MgO][S(IV)]<sup>2</sup>[H<sup>+</sup>]<sup>-l</sup> ... (i)<br> and the main oxidation product is sulphate. The suggested mechanism involves the formation of surficial complexes between hydroxylated magnesium and S(IV). There exists a close parallelism between R<sub>obs</sub> and <em>p</em>H of zero point charge, <em>p</em>H<sub>zpc</sub><em>, </em> for CdO, MgO and SiO<sub>2</sub>. The results suggest that in wet-scrubbers, which utilize the slurries of MgO for removal of SO<sub>2</sub> from the flue gases, the sulphite formed as a result of SO<sub>2</sub> absorption will be oxidized by atmospheric oxygen to sulphate, the extent of which will increase with increase in <em>p</em>H<em>, </em> temperature, slurry density and absorbed SO<sub>2</sub>.
