Abstract

A method for recovering carbon dioxide by absorbing carbon dioxide present in a combustion exhaust gas using an aqueous alkanolamine solution, comprising the step of bringing a combustion exhaust gas from which carbon dioxide has been absorbed and removed into contact with water containing carbon dioxide. A method for treating a combustion exhaust gas for denitration using ammonia as a reducing agent and for removal of carbon dioxide by absorption with an aqueous alkanolamine solution, which method comprising the steps of recovering ammonia present in the combustion exhaust gas after the carbon dioxide removal, and using the recovered ammonia as a reducing agent for the denitration. A method for removing CO.sub.2 from a combustion exhaust gas comprising the step of bringing the combustion exhaust gas into contact under atmospheric pressure with an aqueous monoethanolamine solution having a concentration of 35% by weight or more.
