摘要 |
The present invention provides a process for the absorption of sulfur dioxide from flue gases comprising the steps of: a) providing input seawater or brackish water; b) treating at least a portion of the seawater or brackish water to form a more concentrated solution of ions; and c) contacting the flue gas with an aqueous stream containing the concentrated solution to form flue gas with a reduced content of sulfur dioxide and a wash solution. wherein the treatment in stage (b) is a process selected from the group consisting of vacuum distillation, distillation, reverse osmosis, or any combination thereof.
