<p>The process of this invention will remove from acid rain essentially all of both the sulfur oxides (SOX) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) by catalytically reducing the NOX to water and elemental nitrogen and the SOX to either H2S or elemental sulfur as desired. The process employs specific catalysts in the heteropoly acid or salt group and the spinel or inverse spinel group. The process conditions achieve an oxygen-free environment and reduction is effected with stoichiometric to 100% excess above stoichiometric H2 or H2 and CO as reducing gas. Temperatures can be 200 DEG to 900 DEG C with the lower temperature range being favored; space velocity can be 2000 to 20,000 and still achieve 95+% abatement. The only product of the reaction which must be disposed of is saleable elemental sulfur.</p> |
