Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method for treating a liquid used for absorbing gaseous sulfur dioxide in the wet process for desulfurization of a combustion exhaust gas of the gypsum-by-producing type, which method comprises the steps of, after subjecting a liquid, which has been saturated with gypsum, has dissolved at least magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride and is used as the above-mentioned liquid for absorbing gaseous sulfur dioxide, to clarifying treatment, passing the liquid saturated with gypsum through an electrodialyzer having three dialyzing chambers comprising one sheet of cation-exchange membrane and two sheets of membrane selectively permeable to monovalent anions as one unit, thereby selectively separating and removing the chloride ion in the above-mentioned liquid as an aqueous solution of magnesium chloride of a high concentration.
