A regenerative fluidized-bed process for simultaneous removal of SO/sub 2/ and NO/sub x/ from flue gases has been developed. Experimental results have shown that the 1/16-inch-diameter copper-impregnated-alumina sorbent can simultaneously remove 90% of both SO/sub 2/ and NO/sub x/ when ammonia is injected upstream of the fluidized-bed reactor. The tests were conducted in a 500 lb/hr pulverized-coal combustion facility in which a flue gas containing concentrations as high as 3000 ppM of SO/sub 2/ and 1000 ppM of NO/sub x/ was treated in a 40-inch x 48-inch fluidized-bed.
