Chemical-looping technology (CLT) can achieve energy efficiency and reduce the environmental pollution and is usually conducted on a fixed-bed reactor. In this paper, the thermodynamic simulations for flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) systems with CLT are carried out using HSC Chemistry software to choose a suitable desulfurizer, control the type and quantities of reaction products, and collect sulfur-containing byproducts with high economic value. The Ellingham diagrams are developed to relate the Gibbs free energy of the relevant reactions to the temperature. The fixing-sulfur potential; the reaction degree with CO 2 , H 2 O, and CO; and the acceleration effect of removing NO x of different metal oxides in 100 to 300 °C are estimated. Compared comprehensively, Mn-based oxides have distinct advantages for flue-gas desulfurization using CLT. Based on calculation results, both low reaction temperatures (T < 400 °C) and sufficient H 2 (m H 2 /m MnSO 4 > 4) can effectively prevent the loss of sulfur element. In the regeneration of Mn 3 O 4 , if pure O 2 is replaced by diluent air or a low level of oxygen, the formation of trace amounts of MnSO 4 can be inhibited. This paper provides ample theoretical basis for Mn-based oxides as active components of desulfurizer and collecting pure SO 2 from flue gas through chemical-looping technology.
