摘要

Attempts to develop new technologies of reduction of NOx emission are still carried out all around the world. However, most of them as literature survey suggests is focused on NOx emission control from power plants and mobile vehicles. Fewer investigations are conducted on the NOx emission abatement from the chemical industry. One of the relatively new approaches is the application of ozone injection into exhaust gas stream followed by an absorption process. Ozone is used to transform NOx to higher nitrogen oxides that are more soluble in water, and therefore the higher yield of nitric acid is expected. The main objective of this article is to present results of our studies in which the effectiveness of the ozonation process, as well as the dependence of the conversion rate and the selectivities of NO ozonation into NO2, N2O5 and HNO3 on the residence time of reagents in the reactor space were studied. Results of laboratory investigations were confirmed during ozonation experiments with real exhaust gases from a nitric acid pilot plant in Fertilizers Research Institute in Pulawy, Poland.
