A new approach to simultaneously remove nitrogen monoxide (NO) and sulfur dioxide (SO{sub 2}) by zero valent iron (ZVI) was investigated. Three different parameters, temperature, flux, and ZVI dosage, were tested in fluidized ZVI column studies containing 500 ppmv of NO and SO{sub 2}, respectively. Under the ZVI dosage of 0.5 g at flux of 0.6 L/cm{sub 2} min for temperature 573 K, there is neither NO nor SO{sub 2} reduction. For 623 K and 673 K, complete removal for NO and 90% removal for SO{sub 2} were achieved. For temperatures of 723 K and 773 K, 100% removal was achieved for both NO and SO{sub 2}. The amounts of NO or SO{sub 2} reduction increased as temperature increased, and linearities were observed with both correlation coefficients 0.97. Compared with NO, SO{sub 2} had earlier breakthrough because of a slower diffusion rate and less reactivity but higher mass reduction because of a higher molecular weight for SO{sub 2}. At the same temperature, both NO and SO{sub 2} reductions were constant regardless of either flux or ZVI dosage variation, but breakthrough time was affected by both flux and ZVI dosage. A parameter weight of ZVI/flux (W/F) was developed to represent these two parameters and assess the breakthrough time of NO and SO{sub 2}. Higher breakthrough time was achieved for higher W/F value. Longer breakthrough time and more NO and SO{sub 2} mass reduction were achieved for combined NO and SO{sub 2} than individual NO or SO{sub 2} treated by ZVI, and both oxidation and reduction reactions occurred. 15 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab.
