Abstract
This study evaluated the SO2 adsorption characteristics using a continous moving bed system. Natural manganese oxide (NMO) reaction condition such as L/D the starting time of the NMO feed, feed rate, and flow rate of simulated flue gas, and NMO size were tested. The results showed that optimum L/D was 1.0 in this moving bed system. The higher the feeding rate was the higher the SO2 removal efficiency was and the higher the flow rate of simulated flue gas was the shorter the time to reach the euqilibirum concentration was. The final SO2 con-centration when it reaches the equilibrium concentration was not affected by the starting time of the NMO feed.
