In this paper, a diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DGME)
+ dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO) system was used for the absorption of dilute SO2, and the gas–liquid equilibrium (GLE) data of the
binary system for SO2 at p = 123.15 kPa
and T= (303.15 K-318.15 K) were measured by a GLE
device. Meanwhile, different temperatures and different ratios were
also measured, Henry’s constants at different temperatures
were fitted based on the measured data, and the thermodynamic parameters
of dissolution enthalpy, dissolution entropy, and dissolution Gibbs
free energy of the dissolution process were calculated. The results
of five cycles of SO2 absorption and resolution showed
that the maximum absorption of SO2 in the binary system
was 0.85 g/g. The desorption rate could reach 97%, and the absorption
and desorption capacities did not decrease significantly after the
cycle. The mechanism of SO2 absorption in the binary system
was discussed and analyzed by combining spectral analysis and quantum
chemistry. The spectroscopic results show that the weak interaction
forces between DGME, DMSO, and SO2 are hydrogen bonding
forces and dipole–dipole interaction forces, which lay the
theoretical foundation for the application and practice of binary
hybrid systems. This can provide important GLE data for the design
and operation of organic solvent absorption and desorption of SO2 in flue gas desulfurization, and the prepared absorbent has
a potential industrial application value.
