A method for removing sulfur dioxide out of a gas is provided. The sulfur dioxide contaminated gas is contacted with an aqueous solution or slurry that contains a reagent, such as sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, in a reactor that may be a spray drier or a quench reactor and a gas having a diminished quantity of sulfur dioxide; unreacted reagent; sulfate reaction product, and which is at a temperature in the range of about 130 to 200 ° F. and a humidity in the range of 10 to 70 percent is produced. Particulate calcium hydroxide is blown into this gas through a device, such as dry venturi. The dry venturi removes aerosols out of the gas and helps ensure that the downstream filter cake is porous and non-tacky. The gas is then passed through a filtering device so that solids in the gas accumulate on the filter device, thus forming a filter cake. At least a portion of the sulfur dioxide in the gas is removed via passage of the gas through this filter cake.
