Abstract: The present invention relates to a heating device for exhaust gas in an internal-combustion engine, which is driven by using LPG, LNG, a volatile oil, a light oil, biodiesel or oxygenated hydrocarbon being DME, the device consisting of a catalyst reactor reformer, an exhaust gas suction section and the second fuel supply device. The exhaust gas suction section is mounted for using oxygen included in the exhaust gas. When the heating device is driven, air and fuels are supplied to the catalyst reactor and the second fuel supply device via a single tube when the heating device is heated. The present invention provides with a heating device for exhaust gas capable of securing the durability of a heating device for exhaust gas and minimizing the amount of air supplied from the outside to the combustion reforming device by excluding carbon depositions in a tube due to a prolysis of LPG, LNG, a volatile oil, a light oil, biodiesel or oxygenated hydrocarbon being DME, and a method for driving the device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a &ggr;-Al2O3 sorbent impregnated with alkali salt and CuO, which has a superior SO2 sorption capacity and a high regeneration conversion rate. A &ggr;-Al2O3 sorbent of the present invention is impregnated with alkali salt and copper oxide, whose alkali salt and copper oxide(CuO) contents are 1 to 10 wt. % and 5 to 20 wt. % against 100 wt. % &ggr;-Al2O3 carrier, respectively. The &ggr;-Al2O3 sorbent of the invention has a superior SO2 sorption capacity and a high regeneration conversion rate, which facilitates efficient removal of SO2 by the conventional dry method.
