A series of iron-manganese-based sorbents were prepared by co-precipitation and physical mixing method, and used for H2S removal from hot coal gas. The sulfidation tests were carried out in a fixed-bed reactor with space velocity of 2000 h-1(STP). The results show that the suitable addition of manganese oxide in iron-based sorbent can decrease H2S and COS concentration in exit before breakthrough due to its simultaneous reaction capability with H2S and COS. Fe3O4 and MnO are the initial active components in iron-manganese-based sorbent, and FeO and Fe are active components formed by reduction during sulfidation. The crystal phases of iron affect obviously their desulfurization capacity. The reducibility of sorbent changes with the content of MnO in sorbent. S7F3M and S3F7M have bigger sulfur capacities (32.68 and 32.30 gS/100 g total active component), while S5F5M has smaller sulfur capacity (21.92 gS/100 g total active component). S7F3M sorbent has stable sulfidation performance in three sulfidation-regeneration cycles and no apparent structure degradation. The sulfidation performance of iron- manganese-based sorbent is also related with its specific surface area and pore volume.
