Abstract
Process for regenerating brines containing simultaneously sodium sulfites and sulfates so as to produce sulfur dioxide and an alkaline solution usable for absorbing sulfur dioxide, comprising contacting the brine with ammonium bisulfate, sodium bisulfate and ammonium sulfite to produce sulfur dioxide and an enriched solution of sodium sulfate and ammonium sulfate, which is reacted with CO.sub.2 and ammonia to obtain solid sodium bicarbonate which is decomposed to form CO.sub.2 and an enriched solution of ammonium sulfate, containing dissolved ammonium bicarbonate, which is heated with a reducing agent so as to decompose the ammonium sulfate to ammonia and ammonium bisulfate which is partly reduced to gaseous ammonia and sulfur dioxide, said process including several recycling steps.
