Nitrogen oxides, commonly referred to as NOx, are among the most important air emissions challenges in combustion-based industries. NOx contributes to smog formation, acid deposition, particulate matter formation, and regulatory noncompliance. For facilities operating boilers, turbines, kilns, engines, incinerators, or industrial furnaces, NOx control is not simply an environmental requirement. It is a process engineering challenge. Ozone offers a powerful pathway for NOx treatment because it can oxidize relatively insoluble nitric oxide (NO) into more soluble and reactive nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), nitric acid precursors, and higher nitrogen oxides that can [...]
