Different companies propose methods and apparatuses for waste gases purification from S§°2 using two-phase absorbent (CaCO3 suspension).The basic problem of the carbonate absorbents is that its chemical reaction with SO2 leads to CO2 emission, which leads to similar ecological problems. The use of synthetic anionites as adsorbents for gas purification from SO2 provides possibilities for adsorbent regeneration. In a proposed method, the waste gas purification is realized in two steps¨Cphysical absorption of SO2 with water in a counter-current column and chemical adsorption of from the water solution by synthetic anionite particles. The adsorbent regeneration is made with NH4OH solution. The obtained (NH4)2SO3 (NH4HSO3) is used (after reaction with HNO3) for production of concentrated SO2 (gas) and NH4NO3 (solution). The proposed method permits to be used the absorption columns, where are used the CaCO3 suspensions. In this paper, the efficiency of the waste gases purification from S§°2 is increased in an absorption-adsorption apparatus, where the absorption is realized in co-current flows and the adsorption takes place in the flexible adsorbent. For this is proposed a new absorption-adsorption column apparatus with bubbling plates. A mathematical model of the absorption-adsorption process is presented, too.
