Abstract

The sulfation of CeO2/γ-Al2O3 sorbent in simulated flue gas was studied. A series of CeO2/γ-Al2O3 sorbents with different CeO2 loadings were prepared by impregnation and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Thermogravimetric technique was used to study the sulfation of CeO2/γ-Al2O3 sorbents, mainly on the CeO2 loading, sulfation cycles, and intrinsic kinetics. The study revealed that monolayer coverage of CeO2 supported on γ-Al2O3 was 0.125 g CeO2/g (γ-Al2O3). Below monolayer coverage, CeO2 was highly dispersed on γ-Al2O3. The optimal CeO2 loading on sulfation was 0.03 g CeO2/g (γ-Al2O3). CeO2/γ-Al2O3 sorbent was recyclable by controlling sulfation time. Intrinsic kineticd equation was R = 1.1394 × 10-4 × exp (-1,508.39/T) mg·mg-1·s-1. Activation energy and reaction order were 12.54 kJ·mol-1 and first order, respectively.
