通过分析酸性条件下(pH为1—3),Fe^3+催化氧化S(Ⅳ)过程中溶液吸光度变化的趋势,对Fe^3+催化氧化S(Ⅳ)的反应机理进行了初步推导.实验证明。液相中该反应机理主要是催化氧化与自由基反应相结合,O2的存在对于反应有重要作用,O2^-的生成是S(Ⅳ)被氧化的关键;当水中溶解氧接近耗尽时,反应进程发生改变.当Fe^3+、S(Ⅳ)浓度增加,自由基生成量增加时,有利于反应进行;作为反应产物,Fe^2+、S(Ⅵ)浓度增加,反应推动力减小,反应速率降低;同时Fe^2+、SO4^2-可以与溶液中的其它物质形成配合物,影响了Fe^3+-S(Ⅳ)配合物的生成与分解,不利于S(Ⅵ)的氧化.
The mechanism of the catalyzed oxidation reaction of S(Ⅳ ) with Fe^3 + was studied by analyzing variation trend of the absorbance of the mixed solution under acidic condition ( pH = 1 - 3). It was found that the mechanism of the reaction in aqueous solution was the combination of catalyzed oxidation and radical reaction, and the O2- produced from the oxygen in solution played a very important role for the oxidation of S( Ⅳ ). As a result, when the oxygen in solution was approached exhausted, the reaction path was changed as well. The studies also showed that the increase of the concentration of Fe^3+ and S(Ⅳ) was beneficial to the reaction due to the increase amount of radical; however, the increase of the concentration of Fe^2 + and S (Ⅵ) results iu the reduced reaction rate due to the chemical equilibrium and the complexes formation of Fe^2 + and SO4^2- with other spices in the solution, which impede the formation and decomposition of Fe^3+ -S( Ⅳ ) complexes.
