Abstract
Sulfur dioxide is removed from a fluid containing SO.sub.2 by employing as an absorbent therefor an aqueous solution of compounds represented by Formulas I and II: ##STR1## wherein each R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 is independently hydrogen; an alkyl group; a hydroxyalkyl group; an aldehyde group; a carboxylic acid or salt group; an alkyl group containing at least one carboxylic ester, carboxylic acid or salt, ether, aldehyde, ketone or sulfoxide; and wherein at least one R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 is a carbonyl-containing group, such as an aldehyde group, a carboxylic acid containing group, a carboxyl ester group, or a ketone-containing group; ##STR2## wherein each R.sup.3 is independently hydrogen; an alkyl group; a hydroxyalkyl group; an aldehyde group; a carboxylic acid or salt group; or an alkyl, aryl, or aralkyl group containing at least one carboxylic ester, a carboxylic acid or salt, ether, aldehyde, ketones or sulfoxide group. The absorbent solution preferably can be thermally regenerated by heating to remove SO.sub.2.
