The prospects of using a natural material – ferromanganese nodules (FMN) from<br />the Gulf of Finland – as the SO2 adsorbent are discussed. The starting material was<br />studied as pellets and powder using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, XRD, BET,<br />and mechanical strength analysis; dependences of physicochemical parameters of<br />the material on heat treatment at 100-1000 ºC were found. FMN samples were tested in the process of SO2 sorption. The sorptive capacity of FMN samples for SO2 was found to increase with humidity of adsorbents; FMN samples with a humidity above 40% were shown to be promising for the removal of sulfur dioxide from gases.
