Abstract
For the particles of calcium oxide and active sodium carbonate an effect of mass transfer is explored on the overall rate of their reactions with sulphur dioxide. The results of a simple analysis show that the mass transfer resistance in the gas phase cannot be neglected. The extraordinary reactivity of active sodium carbonate can be fully utilized only in such contactors where very high rates of mass transfer are ensured.
