[Surface studies of absorbents for the removal of SO{sub x} and NO{sub x}]. Quarterly report, December 1, 1988--February 28, 1989
During this quarter we studied the X-ray absorption spectra of copper oxides compounds exposed to flue gases. Model compounds were used as standards for our sorbents. We also continued growing CuO single crystals using a variety of approaches; the first samples obtained were too small to be of any use (1 mm). The EELS measurements were continued on the CuO sorbents. The spectra of oxidized Cu(100) were measured over a wide range of coverage and temperature. We measured in situ the Cu K-edge absorption spectra of CuO sorbents supported on alumina using synchrotron radiation. The measurements were made with the sorbent exposed to flue gases produced by burning a W.Va. Blacksville {number_sign}2 coal. The reactions were studied with the sorbent at room temperature, 100 C, 200 C, and 300 C. These measurements were made possible because of the construction of a reactive gases exhaust system at our beam line at NSLS.
