“…The sorbents can be divided into noble metal sorbents (Ru and Rh) (Hulteberg et al, 2005) and base metal oxide sorbents (Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn) (Li and Flytzani-Stephanopoulos, 1997;Wan et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2012;Zheng et al, 2012). Iron oxide is the most common material as a sorbent for hot gas desulfurization under a reducing atmosphere with hydrogen and carbon monoxide due to its high absorption capacity, abundant resources, lower price, excellent physical strength and easy regeneration (Wang et al, 2011;Fan et al, 2013a).…”
