COMPOUNDS AND PROCESS FOR DESULFURIZATION OF HOT FUEL GASES

摘要

The present invention involves a process and materials for desulfurization of a gaseous stream comprising contacting the gas stream with a manganese aluminate catalyst. The manganese aluminate catalyst is preferably selected from the group consisting of Mn2xAl2O2x+3, Mn(2-y)(MnO)yAl2O(5-y), Mn(4-y)(MnO)yAl2O(7-y), Mn(6-y)(MnO)yAl2O(9-y), Mn(1-z)(MnO)zAlO(3-z) and intermediates thereof, wherein x = 0.5, 0=y=2 and 0=z=1. Preferably, x is between 1 and 3.
