Yellow phosphorus and Potash for SOX and NOX removal.

Flue gases emitted from the industries and other emission sources are considered the main atmospheric issues. The main Flue gases emitted are sulfur oxides SOX and Nitrogen oxides NOX. The study was about methods of removing SOX and NOX from emitted gases and the possibility of deriving useful byproducts. The process for removing was investigated using different absorbers, process conditions, and phosphorus allotropes. The yellow phosphorus (P4) was applied for removal accompanied by Potash. The simultaneous removal achieved higher removing efficiency for SOX than NOX. Yellow phosphorus emulsion proved to be one of the effective SOX and NOX removal techniques. Byproducts produced from SOX and NOX proved to contain the complete fertiliser Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium NPK. The obtained results showed that several useful byproducts can be derived from SOX and NOX removal process.
