  • Treatment of gases containing sulfur dioxide
    Patent number: 3937787
    Abstract: An improvement in regenerative SO.sub.2 scrubbing systems which use sodium, potassium or ammonium carbonate to react with the SO.sub.2 to form sulfite, wherein a thiosulfate-rich aqueous solution of the carbonate is used to prevent oxidation of the sulfite to sulfate; to serve both as a source of the carbonate and as a source of sulfite-reducing agent; and finally to increase the salt concentration in the SO.sub.2 absorbent solution, to thereby permit operation of the scrubbing system at higher temperatures than those normally employed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 1973
    Date of Patent: February 10, 1976
    Assignee: Continental Oil Company
    Inventors: Everett Gorin, Metro D. Kulik, Robert T. Struck
  • Treatment of gases containing sulfur dioxide
    Patent number: 3937788
    Abstract: An improvement in wet regenerative SO.sub.2 scrubbing systems using a sulfite-forming additive wherein a thiosulfate-rich aqueous solution is used to prevent oxidation of sulfite to sulfate, to serve as a source of the sulfite-forming additive, and also to increase the salt concentration of the SO.sub.2 absorbent, to thereby permit operation of the scrubbing system at higher temperature.
