ABSTRACT:
A process for removing nitrogen oxides (NO.sub.x) from a waste gas containing 300 through 20,000 ppm of NO.sub.x is disclosed. In the process, the waste gas containing NO.sub.x is adjusted to a molar ratio of NO/NO.sub.2 of approximately 1 and is then scrubbed with a scrubbing solution containing an alkali metal hydroxide in a first column. The scrubbing solution is removed from the first column before the alkali metal hydroxide is completely consumed. The removed scrubbing solution is then contacted in a second column with a gas having 1.0 through 60.0% by volume NO.sub.x which has been adjusted to a molar ratio of NO/NO.sub.2 of approximately 1. Thus, the NO.sub.x content of the purified gas can be lowered to far less than 200 ppm and post-treatment problems of the scrubbed solution can be effectively solved.
