Method for removing nitrogen oxides using ferricion-EDTA complex solutions

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5011560
Industrial exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides is treated with an aqueous solution of an iron chelate complex salt which contains essentially a sulfite salt at the time of treatment whereby nitrogen oxides which have been difficult to catch can be absorbed with a high absorbing rate even when the concentration of nitrogen oxides is low in the exhaust gas or sulfur dioxide is included in the gas, and simultaneous desulfurizing can be attained in this case. Said aqueous solution has a large absorbing capacity and may contain an ion or ions of alkali metal, alkali earth metal or ammonium.
