Trapping the SO2 and SO3 with limestone is more likely to create CaSO3 and CaSO4 than CaO. But there's a market for that as gypsum.

What a beautiful scam! Plenary indulgences live on!

a considerable amount of CaO in the core area still remained unreacted for coarse particles

Good article.

Getting that CaO out of the particles would be a neat trick!

You could calcine the CaSO4, again, to drive off SO2/SO3 and make sulfuric acid with it, but the economics would be unfavourable even with the government paying for the energy.

Forwarded it to a client, he'll love it.
