Abstract
A flue gas stream arising from fossil fuel fired sources containing nitrogen oxide contaminants is conveyed through an exhaust duct into a quencher. In the quencher aqueous medium is sprayed into contact with the flue gas stream. The quenched flue gas stream is mixed with ozone distributed at a high velocity in a sub-stoichiometric amount for partial oxidation of NOxto form NO2 and prevent the formation of N2O5. The flue gas containing NO2 is absorbed into an acidic medium of a wet scrubber to form nitrous acid. In the scrubber the nitrous acid is mixed with selected compounds of ammonia to decompose the nitrous acid for release of nitrogen. With this process the consumption of ozone and the operating costs associated therewith eliminate the requirement to dispose of nitrate recovered from the scrubber purge stream.
