Abstract: A zeolite adsorbent for desulfurization and a method of preparing the same. More particularly, a zeolite adsorbent for desulfurization in which the relative crystallinity of Y zeolite that is ion exchanged with Ag is 45% to 98%, and a method of preparing the same. The zeolite adsorbent for desulfurization has excellent crystallinity over the known zeolite adsorbent for desulfurization, and thus has better performance of adsorbing sulfur compounds though it contains less Ag. Accordingly, when the sulfur compounds of a fuel gas are removed by employing the zeolite adsorbent for desulfurization, a desulfurizing device that is bettereven with less cost can be constructed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus discharging a printed medium at a stable speed. A image developer affixes an image to a printing medium to form a printed medium and a transporting roller moves the printed medium toward a discharge roller.

The discharge roller is controllable to accelerate and decelerate the printed medium so that printed media are orderly stacked. The one way clutch permits the discharge roller and the transport roller to be spaced apart less than a length of the printed medium.
