The invention relates to a device for removing 
sulfur dioxide in waste gases, which comprises an absorption 
tower (1). The side surface of the middle of the adsorption 
tower (1) is provided with a 
waste gas inlet port (12). The adsorption 
tower (1) is internally provided with a liquid-gas 
distributor (3). The top of the adsorption tower (1) is provided with a clean gas 
discharge outlet (11) while the lower part of the adsorption tower (1) is provided with an absorption liquid concentration 
oxidation zone (13). The device is characterized in that the 
waste gas inlet port (12) is communicated with a cooling device in the adsorption tower (1); the gas outlet of the cooling device is arranged below the liquid level of the absorption liquid of the concentration 
oxidation zone (13); the concentration 
oxidation zone (13) is communicated with the inner chamber of the adsorption tower (1). The device has the advantages that the 
waste gas cooling is carried out in the cooling device in the adsorption tower (1); the temperature of the gas in the inner chamber of the absorption tower is reduced into 45 DEG C to 60 DEG C; as the temperature is lower, the 
absorption effect is better after the gas and the liquid contact; therefore, when the gas with low temperature enters into the adsorption tower, the 
absorption rate is drastically increased; the device causes that processes such as waster gas, temperature reduction, concentration absorption liquid, desulphurization, oxidation and the like are concentrated in a desulfurizing tower to be completed, thus simplifying the low, reducing the equipment investment, fully making the best of device space and optimal 
land utilization.
