Then the gases are routed into a device called a scrubber, where they bubble through a caustic-soda solution; chemical reaction between the SO2 and the soda produces two salts, sodium sulfite and sodium sulfate, that are pumped from the scrubber in waste liquids into tanks. There, lime and calcium carbonate are added. The resulting calcium salts settle to the bottom of the tanks, are removed and buried as safe landfill. The remaining liquid flows into another tank where it is treated with chemicals to create more caustic-soda solution for the scrubber...
