In this experiment, the simultaneous removal of SO 2 and NO from flue gases was investigated through the use of natural manganese ore as a sorbent‐catalyst in a fluidized bed reactor. Selective catalytic reduction behavior was determined as a function of the sulfation degree within the temperature range from 100 °C to 500 °C. The natural manganese ore showed a high activity in the production of nitrogen and water by the reaction of nitric oxide with ammonia and oxygen up to around 200 °C. At higher temperatures, the nitric oxide removal efficiency decreased due to the oxidation of ammonia by oxygen. With the increase of sulfation degree, the temperature at which the maximum selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide appears gradually increased, however the maximum nitric oxide removal efficiency decreased. Additionally, we investigated the removal efficiency of sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide with reaction time in a batch fluidized bed reactor within a temperature range of 350 °C to 500 °C. As the reaction temperature increased, the adsorption capacity of sulfur dioxide increased, but the nitric oxide removal efficiency decreased. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry
