The gaseous effluent is contacted with an aqueous solution comprising at least one amine and at least one amine degradation inhibiting compound. A stainless steel withstanding corrosion upon contact with the amine degradation inhibiting compound is first selected. Equipments whose surfaces in contact with the aqueous solution are made from this stainless steel are used.

Equipment and a method for circulating fluidized bed semidry simultaneous desulfurization and denitration of a sintering flue gas, comprising an ozone generator (2), a diluting blower (1), a mixing buffer tank (3), an ozone distributor (4), and a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) reactor tower (9). When evenly mixed by the mixing buffer tank (3), ozone is injected into a flue (4) via the ozone distributor (4); and, an oxidized flue gas is introduced into the CFB reactor tower (9), where NOx, SO.sub.2, and SO.sub.3 in the flue gas are reacted with a Ca-based absorbent under the action of atomized water in the reactor tower, thus implementing simultaneous removal of SO.sub.x and NOx. This provides the characteristics of a simple system, great performance, small footprint, and inexpensive investments.

Provided herein is a method for absorbing CO.sub.2 from a gas mixture. The method includes using an apparatus comprised of a first RPB unit and a second RPB unit. The first RPB unit and the second RPB unit are arranged to absorb CO.sub.2 in a first gas stream and a second gas stream, respectively. A liquid CO.sub.2-absorbent is supplied sequentially passing through the first RPB unit and the second RPB unit to absorb CO.sub.2 in the first gas stream and the second gas stream. The liquid CO.sub.2-absorbent is regenerated to produce a regenerated CO.sub.2-absorbent. The regenerated CO.sub.2-absorbent is transported to the first RPB unit.

A process and a device for treating a flow of furnace gas with a pressure of more than 1 bar flowing through a channel. A powder agent, such as a powder comprising alkali reagents, such as lime, and/or absorbents, such as activated coal, is injected under an overpressure into the furnace gas flow via an injector which is positioned centrally within the channel The powder agent may be fluidized. The pressure for injecting the powder may be adjusted by controlling the volume of fluidization gas vented via a venting outlet.
