Chemical conversion of SO2 in low-temperature and low-pressure oxyhydrogen flames. 1. Kinetic analysis of the process

Resumo

The chemical conversion of SO₂ to elemental sulfur in the chain oxidation of hydrogen in a low-temperature flame has been studied. The possible elementary reactions involving atoms and free radicals that may be responsible for the chemical conversion of SO₂ with the formation of sulfur in the conjugate radical chain process are discussed on the basis of thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics.
