Evaluation of Fe(iii)EDTA reduction with ascorbic acid in a wet denitrification system.

ABSTRACT: The reduction of Fe(iii)EDTA to Fe(ii)EDTA is the core process in a wet flue gas system with simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification. Herein, at first, the reductant ascorbic acid (VC) was used for reducing Fe(iii)EDTA. The feasibility of Fe(iii)EDTA reduction with ascorbic acid was investigated at different Fe(iii)EDTA concentrations, various pH values, diverse temperatures, and different molar ratios of VC to Fe(iii)EDTA. The results showed that the Fe(ii)EDTA concentration increased with an increase in the initial Fe(iii)EDTA concentration. Furthermore, the reduction efficiency increased as the mole ratio of VC to Fe(iii)EDTA was increased, and all the Fe(iii)EDTA reduction efficiencies were close to 100% when the mole ratio was more than 0.5. On the other hand, an alkaline env
