Abstract: In this study, 20 wt%Fe2O3/Al2O3 was used as a sorbent to perform multiple sulfidation/regeneration cycle tests in a fixed-bed reactor under simulated hot syngas conditions. The physical properties of sorbents were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), BET, and SEM/EDS. ICP-AES results indicated that the composition of metal oxide was close to the theoretical value. Multiple sulfidation/regeneration cycle tests showed that the 20wt%Fe2O3/Al2O3 can be regenerated and thus reused after the oxidation process. Due to the sulfidation reaction, colour change of the 20 wt%Fe2O3/Al2O3 sorbent was observed, from the original red to black. After six sulfidation-regeneration cycles, the sulfur capacity of the sixth cycle remained approximately on a level of 68% of the sulfur capacity in the first cycle. The BET analysis showed that the surface area decreased as the cycle number increased. The sulfidation-regeneration cycles were coupled with endothermic-exothermic reactions, which probably caused sintering of the sorbent, decreasing its surface area and sulfur capacity.
