Abstract
Provided are: a wet desulfurization apparatus 13 which removes sulfur oxides in flue gas 12A from a boiler 11; a mist collection/agglomeration apparatus 14 which is provided on a downstream side of the desulfurization apparatus 13 and forms agglomerated SO3 mist by causing particles of SO3 mist contained in flue gas 12B from the wet desulfurization apparatus 13 to be bonded together and have bloated particle sizes; a CO2 recovery apparatus 18 constituted by a CO2 absorption tower 16 having a CO2 absorption unit 16A which removes CO2 contained in flue gas 12D by being brought into contact with a CO2 absorbent and an absorbent regeneration tower 17 which recovers CO2 by releasing CO2 from the CO2 absorbent having absorbed CO2 and regenerates the CO2 absorbent; and a mist collection unit 16C which collects CO2 absorbent bloated mist bloated by the CO2 absorbent being absorbed by the agglomerated SO3 mist in the CO2 absorption unit 16A.
