Understanding the absorption behaviour of sulphur dioxide in aqueous electrolyte solutions is of major interest for the design of flue gas desulphurization processes, as for example wet flue gas desulphurization of coal fired power plants or municipal solid waste incineration plants. In the present paper the influence of the water salinity on SO2 absorption is studied. The SO2 absortion was performed in equilibrium condition. The variation of marine solubility from 10 g/L to 40 g/L determines the variation of SO2 concentration in water from 2.6 mol/L to about 3.2 mol/L. In consequence, the variation of water salinity in these limits can detemine a quite big difference of water pollution.
