PURPOSE: To provide a function as an oxydizing device to a falling pipe, in a wet waste gas desulfurization apparatus equipped with the falling pipe for transferring an absorbent slurry containing a Ca-compound to an absorbing part recirculation tank, by providing an air supply means and a gas-liquid contact means to the falling pipe.
CONSTITUTION: The absorbing liquid sprayed from the spray nozzles 22 of an absorbing part 35 is passed through a screen 66 to absorb SOx in exhaust gas and collected in a receiving container 33 and subsequently collected in an absorbing liquid sump 45. Then, the absorbing liquid passes through a falling pipe 40 to be fallen to an absorbing part recirculation tank 38. At this time, air is sucked in the falling pipe 40 from the oxidizing air take-in pipe 41 mounted to a throat part 60 by ejector effect. Because this air is changed in a flow speed by an orifice 41, the gas and the liquid are sufficiently mixed and a part of Ca-sulfite is oxidized in the falling pipe 40 to form gypsum and the absorbing liquid is flowed in the absorbing part recirculation tank 37 along with oxidizing air.
