A method of operating an apparatus for the cleaning of industrial waste gases and especially power plant flue gases. The gases are fed through a quencher to a first scrubber with its own recirculation and upstream of a second scrubber having its own recirculation and aerosols of halogen compounds which are eliminated by providing the quencher is part of a prescrubber or by forming the downstream scrubber with a wet electrostatic precipitator.

Method for the cleaning of flue gases with different contents of acidic

The process removes acid components including sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gases of industrial furnaces and includes oxidizing the nitrogen oxide contained in the exhaust gases with the oxygen contained in the exhaust gases at a exhaust gases temperature between 300.degree. and 900.degree. C. before entry of the gases into a first absorption stage, with an addition to the exhaust gases of an organic compound, preferably methanol, as a radical former. After oxidation of nitrogen oxides the exhaust gases undergo a two-stage absorption using aqueous ammonium salt solutions as absorption liquid, whose pH-value is continuously adjusted to less than 5 by addition of aqueous ammonia solution. The mol ratio of NO.sub.2 to SO.sub.2 in the exhaust gases introduced to the second absorption stage is maintained between 0.01 and 0.5 by diverting a portion of the exhaust gases prior to the first absorption stage to the second absorption stage. The salt solutions obtained thereby are neutralized together and evaporated, whereby the salts so produced, after pelletization or granulation represent a useful fertilizer.

Process for the removal of acid components and nitrogen oxides from the

A method is provided for removing nitrogen oxides from waste gases, said method comprising the steps of oxidizing the nitrogen oxides in the waste gases by contacting the waste gases in a gas phase with an oxidizing agent to form NO.sub.2 ; absorbing the formed NO.sub.2 in an absorbing stage by contacting the oxidized waste gases with an absorbing agent to form an absorbing product while substituting fresh water for vaporized water in corresponding amounts; and processing the resultant absorbing product as a solution.

Method for removing nitrogen oxides from waste gases

A method of simultaneously removing SO.sub.x and NO.sub.x from waste gases. Using a known desulfurization process the waste gases free of the acidic components are contacted with an oxidizing agent in the gas phase for the oxidation of the oxygen of nitrogen contained in the waste gases. The formed NO.sub.2 is absorbed in a subsequent absorbing stage under previous addition of NH.sub.3 and the thereby obtained absorbing product is oxidized to form ammonium nitrate in a subsequent oxidation stage with atmospheric oxygen and then reconveyed into the desulfurization process.
