This work was performed to develop a dip injection wet scrubber (DIWS) system with chlorine dioxide as the oxidant. The exhaust pollutants from a lime kiln of paper-mill were introduced to the system. When NaClO₃ was used to oxidize NO into NO₂, the oxidation was unsatisfactory and the combination of HNO₃ or H₂SO₄ was required for 100% oxidation. ClO₂ is recommended to oxidize NO and SO₂ effectively. With the combination of 1^st stage of DIWS and ClO₂, 57.1% of NOx and 98% of SO₂ were effectively removed. In the case of 2^nd stage of DIWS and ClO₂, 93.5% of NOx and 99% of SO₂ were removed. The ClO₂+DIWS process was superior to the ClO₂+Scrubber process in terms of investment, running cost and NOx removal efficiency.
