Heterogeneous Reaction of SO2 on Manganese Oxides: the Effect of Crystal Structure and Relative Humidity

Abstract Manganese oxides from anthropogenic sources can promote the formation of sulfate through catalytic oxidation of SO2. In this study, the kinetics of SO2 reactions on MnO2 with different morphologies (α, β, γ and δ) was investigated using flow tube reactor and in situ Diffuse Reflectance Infr...
