The thermodynamic analyses are focused on suitable ways and conditions for regeneration of spent desulfurization sorbents from dry cleaning of producer gas in a temperature range 600 – 1200 K. Three sulfidic compounds (ZnS, Ce2O2S and La2O2S) were considered for regeneration to the corresponding oxides or oxy-carbonates by mild oxidation, reaction with SO2 and reaction with water vapour and CO2. Zinc sulfide can be regenerated practically only by mild oxidation either at O2/ZnS molar ration around 1.5 at temperatures between approx. 950 and 1050 K or at temperatures over 1200 K at higher O2/ZnS molar ratios. The temperature of regeneration higher than approx. 1100 K causes sintering/changes of sorbent texture. The Ce2O2S-based spent cerium sorbents are advantageously regenerated by reaction with SO2 at temperatures over 700 K (between 700 and 900 K). In this way CeO2, elemental sulfur and small concentrations of S2O are theoretically produced. If the spent Ce-sorbent contains also Ce-halides (e.g. CeCl3) , they are not decomposed by reaction with SO2. The La-based spent sulfur sorbents are restored by reaction with CO2 and H2O vapor leading to formation of La2O2CO3 and H2S. The suitable operating conditions involve temperatures between 700 and 800 K and higher operating pressures (above 1 MPa). The regeneration of La2O2S by simple oxygen oxidation is complicated by formation of very stable oxy-sulfate La2O2SO4.
