摘要:
Flue gas is desulfurized by absorption in an aqueous ammonium sulfite-ammonium bisulfite solution. Any ammonia which is picked up in the flue gas during desulfurization is removed by scrubbing the flue gas with wash water. Sulfur dioxide is recovered from the absorber effluent solution by acidifying a portion thereof with ammonium bisulfate, crystallizing and decomposing the ammonium sulfate thus formed, reacting the ammonia formed during decomposition with a second portion of the absorber effluent solution to form fresh ammonium sulfite-ammonium bisulfite solution.
