19 The emissions from a power station contain about 14 tonnes of SO2 per hour from the oxidation
of FeS2 contained in the coal.
What is the most practical way of preventing the SO2 from being released into the atmosphere?
A
Cool the gases and the SO2 will liquefy and can be removed.
Pass the gases through concentrated sulfuric acid to dissolve the SO2.
