The objective of this invention is to develop a method to reclaim functional sites on a CO2 sorbent that have reacted with an acid gas (other than CO2) to form heat stable salts (HSS). HSS are a significant concern for dry sorbent based CO2 capture because over time the buildup of HSS will reduce the overall functionality of the CO2 sorbent. A chemical treatment can remove the non-CO2 acid gas and reclaim functional sites that can then be used for further CO2 adsorption.
