Abstract: The present invention solves the existing problem of using very expensive oxidation reagents, such as H2O2 and ozone, in removal of NOx and SOx from flue gases, by performing simultaneous oxidation of NOx and SOx with atmospheric oxygen in a combined system for catalytic oxidation and wet-scrubbing of both NOx and SOx from a flue gas and manufacturing fertilisers. Two major configurations of the oxidation system are disclosed in the present invention. The first configuration operates on oxygen-enriched air to increase efficiency of the oxidation reaction and requires an additional oxygen concentrator unit. The second configuration operates on atmospheric air at ambient conditions and requires an additional catalyst activation unit. In the second configuration, the efficient oxidation process is carried out at low temperatures of about 30-90° C. in the presence of recovered and re-activated catalyst.

Abstract: A NOx and SOx oxidation with atmospheric oxygen to remove NOx and SOx from flue gases. The combined system for catalytic oxidation and wet-scrubbing of NOx and SOx from a flue gas and manufacturing fertilizers includes: an air separation unit for separating atmospheric oxygen from air and producing an air stream enriched with atmospheric oxygen, an adsorption and oxidation reactor containing an oxidation catalyst and carrying out the catalytic oxidation of NOx and SOx by said oxygen to yield nitric and sulphuric acids, a separator and reactor control unit for separation of products and liquids and controlling the reaction; and a vessel containing ammonia streaming said ammonia into the reactor or into the control unit to react with the nitric and sulphuric acids and to yield the fertilizers.
