A lime-based adsorbent suitable for use in a flue gas treatment process includes at least 70% by weight of Ca(OH) 2 and at least 0.2% to at most 10% by weight of a first additive. This first additive is selected from the group of hydrogels of natural or synthetic origin, in particular superabsorbent polymers (SAP) or from the group of cellulose ethers or a combination thereof, used in the manufacturing process of the adsorbent , the process for making the sorbent and the use of the sorbent in a flue gas treatment process. |
