Abstract: Three HY molecular sieves HY-1,HY-2,HY-3 with different ratios of Si/Al were used as adsorbents to perform experiments of SO2 adsorption in a fixed bed device. The relationship between saturation adsorption capacity and Si-Al ratios of the sieves was investigated. Physicochemical properties of HY molecular sieves were characterized by BET,XRD,XRF,CO2/O2-TPD techniques and correlated with SO2 saturated adsorption capacity. It was shown by the results that with the increase of Si/Al ratio, the SO2 penetration time of molecular sieves HY-1, HY-2 and HY-3 decreased in turn, and the saturated adsorption capacity decreased in turn, indicating that increasing Si/Al ratio is not conducive to adsorption of SO2 by HY molecular sieves and that the SO2 saturation adsorption capacity of HY molecular sieve was directly proportional to the basic content on its surface. It was found that the adsorption performance of molecular sieve for SO2 is directly related to the species and content of oxygen on its surface. With the increase of Si/Al ratio, the content of chemically adsorbed oxygen on HY molecular sieve surface decreased in turn for the three sieves, and the amount of chemically adsorbed SO2 decreased in turn.
