Nitric oxide, NO, and nitrogen peroxide, NO2, are facilely removed from gaseous admixtures comprising the same, together with gaseous oxygen, advantageously in a plate tower for the commercial production of nitric acid, by countercurrently oxidizing/absorbing said gaseous feedstream in aqueous solution, in a gas/liquid phase contactor, and wherein that section of said phase contactor the NOx content in the gaseous feedstream is less than 6000 vpm, the improvement which comprises that the residence time in said less than 6000 vpm section of said phase contactor, is increased to a value such that the ratio K, of the liquid retention volume in cubic meters in said phase contactor to the rate of flow therein of said gaseous feedstream in Nm3/hour, in excess of 5.10-4 hour. |
