Abstract

SeO2 adsorption mechanisms on CaO surface were firstly investigated by both density functional theory (DFT) calculations and adsorption experiments. Adsorption of multiple SeO2 on the CaO (001) surface was investigated using slab model. Based on the results of adsorption energy and surface property, a double-layer adsorption mechanisms were proposed. In experiments, the SeO2 adsorption products were prepared in a U-shaped quartz reactor at 200 °C. The surface morphology was investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The superficial and total SeO2 mass fractions were measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), respectively. The surface valence state and bulk structure are determined by XPS and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The experimental results are in good agreement with the DFT results. In conclusion, the fundamental SeO2 chemisorption mechanisms on CaO surface were suggested.
