The sulfur dioxide low-temperature adsorbent is loaded in a fixed bed reactor, and when the sulfur dioxide concentration at the outlet of the fixed bed reactor is greater than 100 mg / m 3 , it is considered that the adsorption process is complete. In the measurement of the sulfur capacity of the adsorbent, the concentration of sulfur-containing gas in the outlet gas of the fixed bed reactor (loaded with the adsorbent) is detected by a gas chromatograph equipped with a TCD detector, and the corresponding SO2 content is analyzed according to SY / T6537-2002 (Natural Gas Purification Plant Gas and Solution Analysis Method). In the determination of the adsorption sulfur capacity of SO2, the gas composition except water is 1.5% SO2 concentration, 3% O2 concentration, 25% CO2 concentration, and the balance is N2.
