Increasing demand for regenerable processes with SO 2 recovery is to be expected. Advantages and limitations of the earlier developed citrate and adipate absorption/ steam stripping process are compared with those of the Wellman‐Lord (sulphite) process. On the basis of comprehensive laboratory studies, a new process is proposed which supplements the citrate and adipate process. In this new process, the absorbent is a concentrated sodium phosphate buffer and the loaded buffer is regenerated by evaporation. The main buffer component is Na 2 HPO 4 , but NaH 2 PO 4 is added in order to obtain a more complete stripping of SO 2 during regeneration. The new process promises excellent absorption properties for SO 2 with extremely low oxidation losses, regeneration with few incrustation problems and appreciable energy savings.
