Environmental Chemistry Question 28

Question: $ SO_2 $ can be removed by using the following

$ SO_2+2H_2S\to 2H_2O+3S $ $ SO_2+Na_2SO_3+H_2O\to 2NaHSO_3 $ This is called

Options:

A) synergistic process

B) non-regenerative process

C) desulphonation process

D) regenerative process

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] $ SO_2 $ content of the air can be removed by using $ H_2S $ gas which precipitates as sulphur $ 2H_2S+O_2\to 2H_2O+3S $ $ Na_2SO_3 $ which dissolves $ SO_2 $ $ Na_2SO_3+H_2O+SO_2\to 2NaHSO_3 $
