title: Removal of SO2 and NO from flue gas by wet scrubbing using an aqueous NaClO2 solution.
abstract: This study used a NaClO2/NaOH solution as the additive/absorbent to determine the extent of NOx removal in a wet scrubbing system. A combined SOx/NOx removal system was also tested. The experiments were performed in a bench-scale spraying sieve tray wet scrubber in a continuous mode. The operating variables included NO and SO2 concentrations, L/G ratio, molar ratio, and initial pH. The results of the individual DeNOx experiments show that the maximum DeNOx efficiencies ranged from 3.1 to 12.6%. The results of the combined DeSOx/DeNOx experiments show that the maximum DeNOx and DeSOx efficiencies ranged from 36.6 to 71.9% and from 89.4 to 100.0%, respectively. The major parameters affecting NOx removal efficiencies are the L/G ratio and the dosage of additive. The major parameter influencing DeSOx efficiencies is the L/G ratio.
