Abstract

Hot waste gas is desulfurized in a spray drying-absorption process performed in an absorption chamber wherein a fluidized layer of partially reacted absorbent is maintained in the bottom area. Improved conditions are obtained for the reaction between absorbent and sulfur oxides in the waste gas, whereby the use of inexpensive absorbents of relatively low reactivity, such as limestone, comes into consideration.
