Provided is a method for reusing an adsorbent which can stably exhibit purification ability by regenerating a used absorbent, in order to keep the composition of a purified
syngas constant. The present invention concerns a method for regenerating a
zeolite adsorbent which adsorbs a
carbon dioxide gas from a
syngas comprising the
carbon dioxide gas and reduces the concentration of the
carbon dioxide gas in the
syngas, comprising: a step of recovering a used
zeolite adsorbent; a step of calcining the used
zeolite adsorbent at a temperature of 300 °C to 600 °C in an
oxygen atmosphere to produce a regenerated zeolite adsorbent; and a step of reusing the regenerated zeolite adsorbent.
