Patent Status: Issued

A process for removing and then capturing noxious sulfur oxides from gas streams, particularly from the flue gases of coal-burning power plants, using Ni-containing heated layered double hydroxide (LDH) as recyclable sorbents. The sorbent compositions contain metal components that form stable metal sulfites and sulfates at one temperature, but are decomposed at a higher temperature to regenerate the sorbent material.
