ABSTRACT:
A regenerable flue gas desulfurization system whose end product is preferably a commercial quality gypsum (such as for use in wallboard or the like) or other product easily landfilled. Accordingly, sulfur containing flue gas is passed through an absorber where it is sprayed with a solution so as to initiate certain chemical reactions thereby stripping it of sulfur. Any alkali in this sulfur-containing solution is recovered and returned to the absorber with the remainder of this solution being oxidized in an oxidation/recirculation tank. The slurry from this tank may be recycled to a pre-absorber for chlorine removal if desired, otherwise, a portion of this slurry is sent for the recovery of gypsum.
