A gaseous constituent, such as sulfur dioxide, is removed from a gas stream in a granular bed filter containing granules coated with a sorbent material which is reactive with the gaseous constituent. Granules carrying reacted sorbent material are removed from the granular bed filter, cleaned of reacted sorbent material and coated with further sorbent material for reuse in the granular bed filter. Electrification of the filter bed permits simultaneous, highly efficient removal of particulates entrained in the gas stream.

1. A metod of treating a gas stream containing a gaseous sulfur oxide constituent to be removed, comprising providing a granular bed filter, supplying to the bed of said filter granules of gravel having deposited thereon a coating of an alkali sorbent material reactive with said gaseous constituent, and passing said gas stream through said bed for contacting the gas stream with said sorbent material and for reacting said sorbent material with said gaseous constituent to substantially remove that constituent from said gas stream. 2. A method in accordance with claim 1, further comprising electrically charging particulates contained in said gas stream before it passes through the bed of said filter and electrifying said bed for collecting said particulates. 3. A method in accordance with claim 1, further comprising removing gravel granules from the bed of said filter after a portion of said gas stream has been in contact with the sorbent material, removing reacted sorbent material from the removed granules, depositing a coating of further sorbent material on said removed granules, and feeding those granules back to said bed. 4. A method in accordance with claim 3, wherein said removing of reacted sorbent material comprises agitating said removed granules, by pneumatically conveying the same, for dislodging reacted sorbent material therefrom. 5. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein said gaseous constituent is sulfur dioxide and wherein said sorbent material comprises a material selected from the group consisting of hydrated lime (Ca(OH) 2 ), calcined limestone (CaO), sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) and mixtures thereof, said hydrated lime and calcined limestone being used with or without sodium hydroxide (NaOH) added thereto. 6. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein said granules comprise gravel having a diameter in the range from about 1/16 inch to about 1 inch (about 16 mm to about 250 mm). 7. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein said supplying of gravel granules comprises depositing a coating of said sorbent material on said granules in a further granular bed and delivering the coated granules to the bed of said filter. 8. A method in accordance with claim 7, wherein said depositing comprises electrostatically adhering particles of said sorbent material to said granules in said further granular bed. 9. A method in accordance with claim 7, wherein said depositing comprises dispersing particles of said sorbent material into an agitated portion of said further granular bed. 10. A method in accordance with claim 7, wherein said depositing comprises applying a liquid containing said sorbent material to said granules in said further bed and, prior to applying said liquid, heating those granules to a temperature which will cause said liquid to evaporate upon application thereto. 11. A method in accordance with claim 10, wherein said liquid is applied in an agitated portion of said further granular bed. 12. A method in accordance with claim 10, wherein said sorbent material comprises a first part in solution and a second part in a slurry. 13. A method in accordance with claim 7, wherein said depositing comprises dispersing electrically charged particles of said sorbent material into said further granular bed, applying a liquid to said granules and dispersed particles of sorbent material in said further granular bed and, prior to applying said liquid, heating those granules to a temperature which will cause said liquid to evaporate upon application thereto. 14. A method in accordance with claim 13, wherein said dispersing and applying are done in an agitated portion of said further granular bed. 15. A method in accordance with claim 13, wherein said depositing includes electrifying said granules in said further granular bed.
