Abstract

$NO_x$ and $SO_2$ are mainly generated in the combustion of fossil fuels, and they cause secondary aerosol formation and acid rain in the atmosphere. Many studies have been conducted on the wet scrubbing process which can simultaneously reduce $NO_x$ and $SO_2$ at relatively low temperature. In this study, we conducted an experimental study on wet scrubbing by using NaOH solution. Especially, this study focuses on $NO_x$ and $SO_2$ removal characteristics by varying $NO_2/NO_x$ ratio and $SO_2$ concentration.
