Popis: The work is part of a study on the development of a new method for simultaneous removal of nitrogen oxide (NO) and sulfur dioxide (SO{sub 2}) from the flue gases. The concept is based on a mixture of active components with two different functions: sorption of SO{sub 2} by silica-supported copper(II) oxide (CuO) and manganese(IV) oxide (MnO{sub 2}) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with ammonia (NH{sub 3}) in the presence of vanadium(V) oxide (V{sub 2}O{sub 5}). The paper is focused on the reductive regeneration of mixtures of sulfates of manganese and copper, which are formed in the desulfurization step. The reduction of pure unsupported MnSO{sub 4} with hydrogen requires a higher temperature than that for CuSO{sub 4}. Of principal interest for this study is the possibility of decreasing the temperature for the reduction of MnSO{sub 4} in order to facilitate the simultaneous regeneration of the sulfates in the sorbent. The results show that under the selected experimental conditions the temperature for the reduction of the sulfated MnO{sub 2} in the desulfurization sorbents may be significantly lower compared to the temperature for pure MnSO{sub 4}.
