Sammanfattning

The aim of this work is to examine the catalytic role of copper smelter, copper converter, and nickel smelter process dusts in SO₂-to-SO₃ conversion at 750 ^oC. To clarify the role of specific oxides in greater detail, synthetic dusts containing varying concentrations of either CuO or Fe₃O₄ were also studied. All studied dusts catalyzed SO₃ conversion. Among the industrial flue dusts, the highest concentration of SO₃ formed in the presence of copper smelter dust. Comparing individual oxides, CuO had a greater impact on the SO₃ formation. Such catalytic effects of smelter dusts may lead to SO₃ concentrations in theprocess gas so high that sulfuric acid dew point corrosion may occur.
