The dependence of SO 2 removal on Cu loading, SO 2 concentration, and temperature are studied experimentally on a thermo‐balance using a series of CuO/Al 2 O 3 catalysts in the fresh state as well as in a NH 3 ‐regenerated state. A kinetic study on SO 2 removal is then carried out using a surface model, which assumes the SO 2 removal rate is being controlled by a surface chemical reaction and takes into account the effect of SO 2 adsorption and consumption of surface CuO. The difference in SO 2 removal between fresh and regenerated CuO/Al 2 O 3 is expressed by a parameter n , which is similar to the order of a reaction. The effect of SO 2 adsorption is expressed in the Langmuir‐Hinshelwood form. The results show that the SO 2 removal behavior of NH 3 ‐regenerated CuO/Al 2 O 3 is different from that of fresh CuO/Al 2 O 3 and the developed model describes the SO 2 removal behavior well.
