Abstract: In this work, the SO2 poisoning mechanism of model catalyst and powder catalyst of LaCoO3 has been investigated. The changes of the structure and the chemical states of the elements have been characterized using XRD, TEM, AES and XPS. The results showed that the perovskite structure of LaCoO3 was destroyed by the invading of S. Some La2(SO4)3 and CoO species were formed on the surface of the poisoned sample, while La2(SO4)3, La2(SO3)3 and CoO species were the main production in the interior of the LaCoO3 layer, which led to the loss of the catalysis activity. The content of S in the layer increased with the increase of temperature and time. After the sample was poisoned at a relatively high temperature or for a fairly long time, the distribution of S in the LaCoO3 layer became homogeneous with the depth and the concentration being decreased, suggesting that a dynamic equilibrium was achieved between the poisoning reaction and the decomposition of the sulphurous salts.
