Abstract: A new desulfurizing absorbent for flue gas, i.e., anorganic physical solvent of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) mixed with a relatively small amount of chemical solvent (Mn2+) was studied. Compared with pure physical solvent of DMSO, the purification efficiency of the new absorbent has been much improved. And its absorption and reaction mechanism are discussed.

Keywords: liquid absorption, desulfurization, flue gas
