Abstract

SO.sub.2 is removed from a SO.sub.2 -containing gas mixture utilizing an aromatic amine as absorbent, followed by scrubbing the SO.sub.2 -depleted, aromatic amine-enriched effluent gas with sulfurous acid-and ammonium sulfate-containing aqueous solution to remove substantially all of the gaseous aromatic amine from the gas. The effluent gas is discharged ultimately to the atmosphere without any additional scrubbing of the gas, after its discharge from the sulfurous acid scrubbing zone, with sulfuric acid solution or any other acid solution or any acid.
