Abstract
Abstract A method for the wet treatment of combustion exhaust gases comprising SO 2 and HCl, the method comprising detecting an amount of HCl in the exhaust gas and feeding, to an exhaust gas treating tower, a sodium salt in an amount corresponding to at least the detected amount of HCl so that all the HCl is able to be converted into NaCl in the exhaust gas treating tower, along with CaCO 3 or Ca(OH) 2 used as an SO 2 absorbent.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A method for the wet treatment of a combustion exhaust gas comprising SO 2 and HCl, the method comprising detecting an amount of HCl in the exhaust gas, and feeding, to a circulating slurry in an exhaust gas treating tower, (a) a sodium salt in an amount corresponding to at least the detected amount of HCl so that all the HCl is able to be converted into NaCl in the exhaust gas treating tower and (b) CaCO 3 or Ca(OH) 2 serving as an absorbent for SO 2 .
Claim 2
Independent Claim
89 words
A method for the wet treatment of a combustion exhaust gas comprising SO 2 and HCl, the method comprising detecting an amount of HCl in the exhaust gas, and feeding, to a circulating slurry in an exhaust gas treating tower, (a) a sodium salt in an amount corresponding to at least the detected amount of HCl so that all the HCl is able to be converted into NaCl in the exhaust gas treating tower and (b) CaCO 3 or Ca(OH) 2 serving as an absorbent for SO 2 .
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein the sodium salt is added to the slurry in the absorption tower in an amount sufficient to satisfy the following equation [Na.sup.+ ]≧[Cl.sup.- ] in which [Na + ] represents a molar concentration of sodium ions, and [Cl - ] represents a molar concentration of chlorine ions.
