Abstract

The invention provides a furnace desulfurization process which includes supplying a desulfurizing agent into a furnace or flue to cause the agent to absorb SO.sub.2 from the exhaust gas, the desulfurizing agent being a salt obtained by at least partly neutralizing a Ca desulfurizing agent with an acid; a furnace desulfurization process which includes supplying a Ca desulfurizing agent into a furnace or flue to effect a first-stage desulfurization reaction, collecting ash containing a waste of the agent having an unreacted substance enclosed therein from the exhaust gas, adding an acid to the collected ash to at least partly neutralize the unreacted portion of the agent, and recycling the ash containing the resulting salt into the furnace or flue to effect a second-stage desulfurization reaction; a dry simultaneous desulfurization-denitration process which includes supplying a Ca desulfurizing agent into a furnace or flue to effect a desulfurization reaction, collecting ash containing a waste of the agent having an unreacted substance enclosed therein from the exhaust gas, adding a denitrating reducing agent to the collected ash, and recycling the ash containing the waste desulfuriz…
