A process is provided for the removal of mercury and sulfur dioxide out a flue gas from, for example, power stations, smelters, waste incineration plants and crematories, by washing the flue gas with an oxidized, chloride-containing washing water, which may be sea water, which has been oxidized by either adding an oxidizing agent, such as sodium hypochlorite, or by passing an electric current through the washing water (which converts the chloride values into chlorine) so that the gaseous mercury is sorbed into the washing water and is converted into mercury (II) chloride complexes and the gaseous sulfur dioxide is sorbed into the washing water and converted into sulfuric acid, and subsequently passing the resulting mercury (II) chloride and sulfuric acid-containing washing water and the flue gas through a bed of calcium carbonate where the sulfuric acid and the calcium carbonate react to form calcium sulfate which is washed off the bed into the washing water. The calcium sulfate and mercury(II) chloride-containing washing water is collected in a sump and the cleaned flue gas is discarged from the process.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A process for the removal of gaseous mercury and gaseous sulfur dioxide out of a flue gas, comprising:passing the flue gas into a scrubbing vessel;passing an aqueous washing liquor, which contains an oxidizing agent in such an amount that the red/ox potential of the washing liquor is between 600 and 800 mVolts (SCE) and which also contains chloride ions in an amount of at least 1 gram/liter, into the scrubbing vessel so that the flue gas and the washing liquor are contacted cocurrently, and the gaseous mercury is sorbed into the aqueous washing liquor and converted into mercury (II) chloride species and the gaseous sulfur dioxide is sorbed into the aqueous washing liquor and converted into sulfuric acid;subsequently, passing the flue gas and the resulting, mercury (II) chloride species and sulfuric acid-containing, aqueous washing liquor through a bed of calcium carbonate solids, within said scrubbing vessel, so that the sulfuric acid reacts with the calcium carbonate to produce calcium sulfate, which is washed off the surfaces of the calcium carbonate solids into the aqueous washing liquor, thereby resulting in an aqueous washing liquor containing mercury (II) chloride species and calcium sulfate; a bed of calcium carbonate solids with exposed calcium carbonate surfaces, and a cleaned flue gas, anddischarging the cleaned flue gas out of the scrubbing vessel, and collecting the mercury (II) chloride species and calcium sulfate-containing, aqueous washing liquor in a collection sump, which is located at the bottom of the scrubbing vessel.
