Abstract

The formation of products from the reaction of nitrogen dioxide, with and without the presence of oxygen, in aqueous sulfite and hydrogen sulfite solutions has been studied by Raman spectroscopy.The products observed include nitrite, nitrate, sulfate and dithionate ions.The product distribution at low pH is complicated by the formation of nitrogen '. 1
