Abstract:This work reported the effects of the airflow, the temperature, the reaction time on sodium thiosulfate conversion. In this process, MnOx@TiO2 catalyst was prepared for the catalytic wet air oxidation of sodium thiosulfate in high concentration under atmospheric pressure. X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) with NH3 and O2, temperature-programmed reduction with H2 (H2-TPR) and BET were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of MnOx@TiO2 catalysts before and after the reactions. The results showed that airflow had an insignificant effect on sodium thiosulfate oxidation under the absolute excess of oxygen. Reaction time and reaction temperature were two important influence factors of the catalytic activities. Reaction time increasing showed a positive influence on the conversion of sodium thiosulfate. The catalytic activities first increased then decreased with the increase of temperature from 65 ℃ to 85 ℃. The optimal experimental conditions were airflow of 50 mL·min?1, the reaction time of 25 h, and reaction temperature of 75 ℃, respectively. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the conversion of sodium thiosulfate reached 96% by MnOx@TiO2 with Mn loading amount of 2% when the $ {{\rm{S}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{O}}_3}^{2 - }$ concentration was 10 000 mg·L?1. The result of MnOx@TiO2 characterization showed that there existed various forms of Mn oxides on the surface of the catalyst, of which Mn2O3 was the main active component. The sodium thiosulfate oxidation process was accompanied by the valence conversion of Mn3+ to Mn2+ and electron transfer. At the same time, various Mn oxides on MnOx@TiO2 surface provided more active sites for electron exchange between $ {{\rm{S}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{O}}_3}^{2 - }$ and O2, which led to an increase of oxygen defects on the catalyst surface. All these results proved the feasibility of the catalytic wet air oxidation of thiosulfate at atmospheric pressure with MnOx@TiO2 as the catalyst. This process provided a possibility for improving productivity and economic efficiency of pre-treatment technology for the industrial sulfur-containing spent caustic solution. Key words:MnOx@TiO2/ sodium thiosulfate/ atmospheric pressure/ catalytic wet air oxidation.
