1. A method of removing SO2 from a flue gas stream comprising SO2, comprising:
- providing a source of trona;
injecting the trona into the flue gas stream, wherein the temperature of the flue gas is between about 600°
F. and about 900°
F.; and
maintaining the trona in contact with the flue gas for a time sufficient to react a portion of the trona with a portion of the SO2 to reduce the concentration of the SO2 in the flue gas stream.

Abstract
A method of removing SO2 from a flue gas stream including SO2 includes providing a source of trona and injecting the trona into the flue gas stream. The temperature of the flue gas is between about 600° F. and about 900° F. The trona is maintained in contact with the flue gas for a time sufficient to react a portion of the trona with a portion of the SO2 to reduce the concentration of the SO2 in the flue gas stream.

15. A method of removing SO2 from a flue gas stream comprising SO2, comprising:
-
providing a source of trona having a mean particle size between about 10 micron and about 40 micron;
injecting the trona as a dry granular material into the flue gas stream, wherein the temperature of the flue gas is between about 600°
F. and about 900°
F.; and
maintaining the trona in contact with the flue gas for a time sufficient to react a portion of the trona with a portion of the SO2 to reduce the concentration of the SO2 in the flue gas stream. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
