ABSTRACT:
This disclosure concerns an improved phospho-gypsum recovery process in which phospho-gypsum waste product and coke are first heated to remove moisture, some SO.sub.2 and other vaporous matter, then heated to a higher temperature in a reducing atmosphere to remove and separately recover SO.sub.2, then further heated in an oxidizing atmosphere to about 1200.degree. to 1250.degree. C. to remove any unreacted carbon and calcium sulfide before entering an electric furnace. The disclosure also concerns passing the gas stream from the condenser-heat exchanger over the clinker from the electric furnace to scrub SO.sub.2 from said gas stream. The essence of the invention is the unique absorber system used to remove any and all remaining fluorine in the gases from the calciner/furnace. If not removed, the fluorine will severely harm the catalyst used in the contact sulfuric acid plant to which the gases are sent for recovery of sulfur values. The absorber system uses a sulfuric acid absorber folowed by a water absorber.
