ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for preventing the release of air pollutants with combustion flue gases emitted to the atmosphere by the removal of one or more of nitric oxide, sulfur trioxide, light hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and trace amounts of mercury from combustion flue gas streams. The method converts nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide, sulfur trioxide to sulfur dioxide, removes light hydrocarbons in the form of carbon dioxide, reduces the concentration of carbon monoxide, and removes mercury vapor in the form of mercury oxide, by the addition of hydrogen peroxide or a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and methanol to a combustion flue gas at a temperature in the range from about 650 K (377.degree. C.) to 1100 K (827.degree. C.).
