The study on the removal of NOx from simulated flue gas has been carried out in a lab-scale bubbling reactor using acidic solutions
of sodium chlorite. Experiments were performed at various pH values and inlet NO concentrations in the absence or presence of SO2
gas at 45°C. The e ect of SO2 on NO oxidation and NO2 absorption was critically examined. The oxidative ability of sodium chlorite
was investigated at di erent pH values and it was found to be a better oxidant at a pH less than 4. In acidic medium, sodium chlorite
decomposed into ClO2 gas, which is believed to participate in NO oxidation as well as in NO2 absorption. A plausible NOx removal
mechanism using acidic sodium chlorite solution has been postulated. A maximum NOx removal e ciency of about 81% has been
achieved.
