“…The absorption bands present in the spectra shown in Figure 3 can be assigned with the aid from previous infrared studies of SO 2 absorption on surfaces [ Deo et al , 1971; Low et al , 1971; Schoonheydt and Lunsford , 1972; Goodsel et al , 1972; Davis and Lunsford , 1978; Chang , 1978; Lavalley et al , 1981; Harrison et al , 1983; Karge and Dalla Lana , 1984; Datta et al , 1985; Saur et al , 1986; Mitchell et al , 1996; Allen and Hayhurst , 1996; Waqif et al , 1992; Stark et al , 1996]. Many, if not all, of these previous studies on oxides were conducted so as to investigate the use of these oxides as potential adsorbents for emission abatement of SO 2 into the atmosphere.…”
