Popis: Manganese supported on activated carbons treated by HNO3 (Mn/NAC) was prepared using an excessive impregnation method and calcined at 650 °C, and the deactivation and recovery factors of Mn/NAC for desulfurization were investigated. The results showed that fresh catalyst calcined at 650 °C has breakthrough sulfur capacity of 141.8 mg/g and breakthrough time of 300 min and that the catalysts thermally regenerated at different temperatures under N2 atmosphere exhibit different removal capacity of SO2. After the catalysts undergo the first thermal regeneration at 650 °C, the catalysts have breakthrough sulfur capacity of 144.9 mg/g and breakthrough time of 299 min. These values are close to those of the fresh catalysts, suggesting that active sites can be recovered almost completely. In the following cycles, the SO2 removal capacity of the regenerated catalysts gradually decreases, indicating that active sites reduce gradually. The fresh catalyst has 710 m2/g specific surface area and 0.404 cm3/g total pore ...
