Microbial removal of NO sub x from gases
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5561332
This patent describes a process for converting nitric oxide in a gas stream to elemental nitrogen. It comprises contacting the gas stream under anaerobic conditions with a slurry containing a denitrifying bacterium capable of converting the nitric oxide to elemental nitrogen and a culture medium containing an energy source for the bacterium and adapted to maintain the viability and growth of the bacterium and wherein the slurry contains essentially no source of terminal electron acceptor except the nitric oxide whereby the nitric oxide is reduced to elemental nitrogen by the bacteria.
