Abstract
Sulfur dioxide is removed from a fluid containing SO.sub.2 by employing as an absorbent for the SO.sub.2 an aqueous solution of a compound represented by Formula I: ##STR1## wherein each Y is independently --(CR.sup.2.sub.2)--or--(CR.sup.2).dbd.and each R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 is independently hydrogen, an alkyl group; an hydroxyalkyl group: an aldehyde group: a carboxylic acid group or salt thereof: an alkyl group containing at least one carboxylic ester, a carboxylic acid or salt thereof, ether, aldehyde, ketone, or sulfoxide group: wherein the compound has at least one carbonyl group. The absorbent solution preferably can be thermally regenerated by heating to remove SO.sub.2.
