ABSTRACT:
The SO.sub.2 content of gases is catalytically reacted to form SO.sub.3. The SO.sub.3 -containing gases are cooled in a plurality of stages with a cooling fluid (A) before the SO.sub.3 is absorbed. The absorbing acid is cooled by a cooling fluid (B) which delivers heat to a consumer. To increase the temperature of the cooling fluid (B) or to reduce the expenditue and to prevent a temperature drop in the SO.sub.3 -containing gases below the dew point temperature, the SO.sub.3 -containing gases are cooled first by and indirect heat exchange and then by a second indirect heat exchange with a cooling fluid (A) to a temperature slightly above the dew point temperature of the SO.sub.3 -containing gases. The cooling fluid (A) is conducted in a closed cycle. The sulfuric acid circulated through the absorber is cooled by an indirect heat exchange with a liquid cooling fluid (B), which is conducted in a closed cycle. The liquid cooling fluid (B) which has been heated is heated further by an indirect heat exchange with the heated cooling fluid (A). The hot cooling fluid (B) is cooled by an indirect heat exchange with the consumer.
