Abstract
A wet desulfurization apparatus which removes sulfur oxides in flue gas from a boiler 11 includes a mist collection/agglomeration apparatus which is provided on a downstream side of the desulfurization apparatus and forms agglomerated SO3 mist by causing particles of SO3 mist contained in flue gas 12B from the wet desulfurization apparatus to be bonded together and have bloated particle sizes; a CO2 recovery apparatus constituted by a CO2 absorption tower having a CO2 absorption unit which removes CO2 contained in flue gas by being brought into contact with a CO2 absorbent and an absorbent regeneration tower which recovers CO2 by releasing CO2 from the CO2 absorbent having absorbed CO2 and regenerates the CO2 absorbent; and a mist collection unit which collects CO2 absorbent bloated mist bloated by the CO2 absorbent being absorbed by the agglomerated SO3 mist in the CO2 absorption unit.
