1. A method of desulfurizing flue gas generated in a coal-combusting installation operating with dry additives selected from the group consisting of calcium oxide and calcium carbonate wherein coal is fired in a combustion chamber in the presence of the dry additives reacting with sulfur oxide components, then the stream of flue gas having normally a temperature of about 150°

  • C. and being laden with ashes and residual additives is discharged from the combustion chamber and supplied to a dust filter where the flue gas is separated from the ashes and residual additives, comprising the step of increasing the relative moisture of the discharged stream before its entry in the filter by cooling the discharged stream to a lower temperature which exceeds the temperature of condensation point of water present in the stream, thus enhancing reaction of sulfur oxide components still present in the flue gas with the residual additives in the filter.
