Abstract
A method is disclosed for scrubbing SO.sub.2 and NO.sub.x containing gases with iron sulfide. The reaction proceeds only to the formation of FeS.sub.2 and FeSO.sub.4 without significant formation of sulfur or iron oxide. The reaction products are subsequently regenerated to FeS by heating and can be recycled for further scrubbing operations; elemental sulfur is recovered as a by-product.
