ABSTRACT:
Flue gases or other contaminated humid exhaust gases which contain SO.sub.3 are cooled by an indirect heat exchange in a heat exchanger to a temperature below the dew point temperature of sulfuric acid and are cooled further to a predetermined temperature in an SO.sub.3 condenser by means of dilute sulfuric acid, which is sprayed to flow in a countercurrent to the gas, whereby dilute sulfuric acid having a predetermined concentration is condensed. The gas leaving the SO.sub.3 condenser is scrubbed and cooled to a temperature from 40.degree. to 55.degree. C. in a fine scrubber by a treatment with a sprayed aqueous liquor. The exit gas is reheated to a predetermined temperature in a reheater by a treatment with sprayed dilute sulfuric acid from the SO.sub.3 and after the condensation of SO.sub.3 is passed through a filter. Dilute sulfuric acid from the reheater is sprayed into the SO.sub.3 condenser. The temperature of the gas in the reheater is so selected that the water which has been absorbed is not condensed but remains in the gaseous effluent. The exit temperature of the gas leaving the heat exchanger is approximately so selected that the temperature at which dilute sulfuric acid becomes available is approximately the same as the temperature of the gas in the reheater. The rate at which dilute sulfuric acid is sprayed is so adjusted that the dilute sulfuric acid withdrawn from the fine scrubber is at a temperature which is approximately the same as the required exit temperature of the gas leaving the SO.sub.3 condenser.
