Improved methods are provided for the efficient and economic removal of sulfur dioxide from gases which comprise contacting the gas with neutralizing values obtained from Type S hydrated lime, i.e. calcined dolomite slaked with water under elevated temperature and pressure. The Type S hydrated dolomitic lime may be used in conjunction with a wet scrubber to provide base and neutralizing magnesium values, in a spray dryer or dry scrubber, or directly introduced into the boiler. The use of Type S hydrated dolomitic lime greatly enhances the efficiency of sulfur dioxide removal, providing for enhanced utilization of base values and more rapid rate of reaction.
