1. An apparatus comprising:
a catalyst unit operable to periodically contain an acidic liquid and particulates supplied from a particulate collection device for leaching of catalyst agents from the particulates to the acidic liquid to produce a catalyst rich liquid; and a seawater aeration basin fluidly connected to the catalyst unit operable to contain the catalyst rich liquid from the catalyst unit and effluent seawater supplied from a seawater flue gas desulfurization system, to catalyze oxidation of sulphite ions to inert sulfate ions within effluent seawater contained therein to obtain a treated seawater.
