Abstract: A fossil fuel fired power plant exhaust gas clean-up and recovery system is provided to remove detrimental exhaust gases from the power plant exhaust and to produce and reclaim various commercial byproducts. A process includes mixing one liquid solution with a solubilizer in a mixing tank containing water to create a chemical reaction therein to produce an ionic solid compound and an alkaline liquid solution. Simultaneously directing the flue gases and the alkaline liquid solution into the wet scrubber to create a chemical reaction therein. The chemical reaction removes various detrimental exhaust gases from the flue gases and captures CO2 gases therefrom, which are chemically transferred into a newly formed sodium bicarbonate solution. The sodium bicarbonate solution exiting the wet scrubber is stored for resale or reuse in the subject process. The process uses various pathways to distribute the sodium bicarbonate for producing other byproducts.

Abstract: A process is provided using a concentrated sodium bicarbonate solution as a solubilizer mixed with a calcium hydroxide to chemically produce an insoluble calcium carbonate and produce an alkaline liquid solution, then passing the alkaline liquid solution through detrimental gases in a scrubber to produce an enhanced sodium bicarbonate which regenerates the sodium bicarbonate thus creating a continuous closed loop. The process can also produce a sodium phosphate (trisodium phosphate) by mixing the alkaline liquid solution with a phosphoric acid.
