ABSTRACT:
The method of reducing air pollution comprises treating air-polluting waste industrial flue gases containing sulfur dioxide in a manner effective to substantially reduce the content of sulfur dioxide therein and remove it in the form of a sulfuric acid by-product prior to discharge of the treated flue gases into the atmosphere. The treatment involves the use of towers and nitrogen oxides for effecting the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to the trioxide. Preferably, the waste industrial flue gas is separated into a low molecular weight fraction and a higher molecular weight portion, as by centrifugal action to concentrate the heavier sulfur dioxide molecules, before treating only the higher weight portion.
