Abstract
⋅ O H The wet denitrification technology has a good development prospect due to its simple system and mild reaction conditions, and related research has become a hot topic in the field of flue gas purification. In this work, a novel simultaneous removal technology of NO from flue gas using Fe2+/Cu2+-catalytic H2O2/(NH4)2S2O8 system was developed for the first time. The feasibility of this new flue gas cleaning technology was explored through a series of experiments and performance analyses. The mechanism of oxidation products, free radicals and simultaneous removal of NO was revealed. The effects of the main process parameters on the removal of NO were investigated. Relevant results demonstrated that the removal efficiency of NO was elevated when the concentration of (NH4)2S2O8 or reacting temperature increased, while it was decreased after increasing the raising of Fe2+, Cu2+ and H2O2 concentrations. The main radicals were and·S O 4 - , using the electron spin resonance technique in the solution, and played a very important role in NO removal. The main products were carried out by ion chromatography and elemental N material accountancy, and the results showed that it was sulfate and nitrate in the solution, which provided theoretical guidance for the subsequent treatment and resource utilization of the absorption solution. The results of the study provided a theoretical basis for the industrial application of wet denitrification.Highlights A new green process of NO removal by a wet process with Fe2+/Cu2+ activated (NH4)2S2O8 system is proposed in this paper;Elimination mechanisms and paths of NO are elucidated;The synergistic role produced by Cu2+ and Fe2+ is beneficial to the purification of NO;The synergistic role produced by (NH4)2S2O8 and H2O2 increased the concentration of free radicals in the solution;This process jointly considers the enhanced removal of NO and recycling of transition metal ions.

Abstract
Excessive emissions of gaseous pollutants such as SO2, NOx, heavy metals (Hg, As, etc.), H2S, VOCs, etc. have triggered a series of environmental pollution incidents. Sulfate radical (SO4•-)-based advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) are one of the most promising gaseous pollutants removal technologies because they can not only produce active free radicals with strong oxidation ability to simultaneously degrade most of gaseous pollutants, but also their reaction processes are environmentally friendly. However, so far, the special review focusing on gaseous pollutants removal using SO4•--based AOTs is not reported. This review reports the latest advances in removal of gaseous pollutants (e.g., SO2, NOx, Hg, As, H2S, and VOCs) using SO4•--based AOTs. The performance, mechanism, active species identification and advantages/disadvantages of these removal technologies using SO4•--based AOTs are reviewed. The existing challenges and further research suggestions are also commented. Results show that SO4•--based AOTs possess good development potential in gaseous pollutant control field due to simple reagent transportation and storage, low product post-treatment requirements and strong degradation ability of refractory pollutants. Each SO4•--based AOT possesses its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of removal performance, cost, reliability, and product post-treatment. Low free radical yield, poor removal capacity, unclear removal mechanism/contribution of active species, unreliable technology and high cost are still the main problems in this field. The combined use of multiactivation technologies is one of the promising strategies to overcome these defects since it may make up for the shortcomings of independent technology. In order to improve free radical yield and pollutant removal capacity, enhancement of mass transfer and optimization design of reactor are critical issues. Comprehensive consideration of catalytic materials, removal chemistry, mass transfer and reactor is the promising route to solve these problems. In order to clarify removal mechanism, it is essential to select suitable free radical sacrificial agents, probes and spin trapping agents, which possess high selectivity for target specie, high solubility in water, and little effect on activity of catalyst itself and mass transfer/diffusion parameters. In order to further reduce investment and operating costs, it is necessary to carry out the related studies on simultaneous removal of more gaseous pollutants.

Abstract
Due to the increasingly strict emission standards of NOx on various industries, many traditional flue gas treatment methods have been gradually improved. Except for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) methods to remove NOx from flue gas, theoxidation method is paying more attention to NOx removal now because of the potential to simultaneously remove multiple pollutants from flue gas. This paper summarizes the efficiency, reaction conditions, effect factors, and reaction mechanism of NO oxidation from the aspects of liquid-phase oxidation, gas-phase oxidation, plasma technology, and catalytic oxidation. The effects of free radicals and active components of catalysts on NO oxidation and the combination of various oxidation methods are discussed in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of different oxidation methods are summarized, and the suggestions for future research on NO oxidation are put forward at the end. The review on the NO removal by oxidation methods can provide new ideas for future studies on the NO removal from flue gas.

Abstract
A novel environment-friendly process was proposed to conduct the simultaneous removal of NO and SO2. In this process, a micro-bubble generator was utilized to generate the micro-bubble gas-liquid dispersion system (MBGLS) by inhaling mixed gas (NO, SO2 and/or air) and absorption liquid. The MBGLS was then sprayed into an oxidation absorption column reactor, in which NO and SO2 were oxidized and absorbed. As the additives, air, H2O2 and/or Na2S2O8 were brought into the MBGLS to investigate their effects on the simultaneous removal of NO and SO2. In addition, the effects of initial pH and temperature of the absorption liquid on the simultaneous removal of NO and SO2 were also explored. The performance of the MBGLS in removing NO and SO2 was excellent. Even if the MBGLS was composed of tap water, NO and SO2, the removal efficiencies of NO and SO2 respectively reached 78% and 94.4%. The additives significantly improved the removal performance of the MBGLS. Under the conditions of pH = 8 and room temperature and the addition of air, SO2 was removed completely and the NO removal efficiency reached 99.5% when Na2S2O8 to H2O2 molar ratio was 0.005/0.05. The effect of the absorbent temperature on the removal of NO and SO2 was insignificant. With the increase in pH, the removal of NO in both H2O2 aqueous solution and Na2S2O8 aqueous solution firstly increased and then decreased, but pH had no effect on the removal of SO2.

Abstract
The combustion of fossil fuels has resulted in rapidly increasing emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx), which has caused serious human health and environmental problems. NO capture has become a research focus in gas purification because NO accounts for more than 90% of NOx and is difficult to remove. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), features the little secondary pollution and the broad-spectrum strong oxidation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH), are effective and promising strategies for NO removal from coal-fired flue gas. This review provides the state of the art of NO removal by AOPs, highlighting several methods for producing •OH and SO4•-. According to the main radicals responsible for NO removal, these processes are classified into two categories: hydroxyl radical-based AOPs (HR-AOPs) and sulfate radical-based AOPs (SR-AOPs). This paper also reviews the mechanisms of NO capture by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and SO4•- in various AOPs. A HiGee (high-gravity) enhanced AOP process for improving NO removal, characterized by intensified gas-liquid mass transfer and efficient micro-mixing, is then proposed and discussed in brief. We believe that this review will be useful for workers in this field. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitric oxide (NO) and elemental mercury (Hg0) are three common air pollutants in flue gas. SO2 and NO are the main precursors for chemical smog and Hg0 is a bio-toxicant for human. Cooperative removal of multi-air-pollutant in flue gas using radical-induced oxidation reaction is considered as one of the most promising methods due to the high removal efficiency, low cost and less secondary environmental impact. The common radicals used in air pollution control can be classified into four types: (1) hydroxyl radical (OH), (2) sulfate radical (SO4-), (3) chlorine-containing radicals (Cl, ClO2, ClO, HOCl-, etc.) and (4) ozone. This review summarizes the generation methods and mechanism of the four kinds of radicals, as well as their applications in the removal of multi-air-pollutant in flue gas. The reactivity, selectivity and reaction mechanism of the four kinds of radicals in multi-air-pollutant removal were comprehensively described. Finally, some future research suggestions on the development of new technique for cooperative removal of multi-air-pollutant in flue gas were provided.

Abstract
This study evaluates the chemistry, kinetics, and mass transfer aspects of the removal of NO and SO2 simultaneously from flue gas induced by the combined heat and Fe2+ activation of aqueous persulfate. The work involves experimental studies and the development of a mathematical model utilizing a comprehensive reaction scheme for detailed process evaluation, and to validate the results of an experimental study at 30-70 °C, which demonstrated that both SO2 and Fe2+ improved NO removal, while the SO2 is almost completely removed. The model was used to correlate experimental data, predict reaction species and nitrogen-sulfur (N-S) product concentrations, to obtain new kinetic data, and to estimate mass transfer coefficient (KLa) for NO and SO2 at different temperatures. The model percent conversion results appear to fit the data remarkably well for both NO and SO2 in the temperature range of 30-70 °C. The conversions ranged from 43.2 to 76.5% and 98.9 to 98.1% for NO and SO2, respectively, in the 30-70 °C range. The model predictions at the higher temperature of 90 °C were 90.0 and 97.4% for NO and SO2, respectively. The model also predicted decrease in KLa for SO2 of 1.097 × 10-4 to 8.88 × 10-5 s-1 (30-90 °C) and decrease in KLa for NO of 4.79 × 10-2 to 3.67 × 10-2 s-1 (30-50 °C) but increase of 4.36 × 10-2 to 4.90 × 10-2 s-1 at higher temperatures (70-90 °C). This emerging sulfate-radical-based process could be applied to the treatment of flue gases from combustion sources. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
A new method was developed for denitrification and desulfurization using hydrogen peroxide with the aid of an ultrasonic nebulizer to obtain high removal efficiency of NOx and SO2. Comparing with the atomizing nozzles having the aperture size of 0.01~0.02 mm, the droplets generated using the ultrasonic nebulizer show the smallest d50 value of 7.2 μm, with 72% possessing the size less than 10 μm. Based on the numerical simulation of the vaporization rate of droplets, it is indicated that the droplets with the size of 7.2 μm can be vaporized totally at very short residence time (0.11 s) under 130 °C. Effects of influence factors including the reaction temperature, the initial H2O2 concentration, pH value, and the flue gas flow rate were studied on the removal efficiencies of NO and SO2. Using the in-series double-oxidation subsystems with H2O2 concentration of 6 wt%, pH 5.0, and the reaction temperature of 130 °C, the removal efficiencies of SO2 and NO are respectively 100% and 89.3% at the short residence time of 1.8 s, and the removal efficiency of NO can be increased to 100% as the residence time is longer than 3.7 s. It is confirmed that the ultrasonically atomized H2O2 can indeed enhance the removal efficiencies of NO and SO2 at the optimal temperature, owing to the fast vaporization rate of fine droplets as well as the formation of more active radicals to be captured by NO and SO2 simultaneously. The results here provide a promising route to remove effectively the emissions of NO and SO2 simultaneously. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Experiments were conducted to remove NO from simulated flue gas in a rotating packed bed (RPB) reactor with NaClO2 as wet scrubbing oxidant and diesel exhaust gas as carrier gas. The effects of various operating parameters (rotational speed, solution pH, NaClO2 concentration, liquid-gas ratio, and NO and SO2 concentrations) on NO removal performance were investigated preliminarily. The results showed that with the increase of rotational speed, oxidant concentration, and liquid-gas ratio, NO removal efficiency increased obviously. NO removal efficiency increased largely with the decrease of solution pH, and a complete removal of NO could be attained at pH 4. NO concentration imposed little effect on NO removal efficiency while coexisting SO2 in exhaust gas could enhance NOx removal greatly.

Abstract
A novel process on simultaneous absorption of SO2 and NO from flue gas using ultrasound (US)/Fe2+/heat coactivated persulfate system was proposed. The influencing factors, active species, products and mechanism of SO2 and NO removal were investigated. The results indicate that US enhances NO removal due to enhancement of mass transfer and chemical reaction. US of 28kHz is more effective than that of 40kHz. NO removal efficiency increases with increasing persulfate concentration, ultrasonic power density and Fe2+ concentration (at high persulfate concentration). Solution pH, solution temperature and Fe2+ concentration (at low persulfate concentration) have double effect on NO removal. SO2 is completely removed in most of tested removal systems, except for using water absorption. US, Fe2+ and heat have a synergistic effect for activating persulfate to produce free radicals, and US/Fe2+/heat coactivated persulfate system achieves the highest NO removal efficiency. ·OH and SO4-· play a leading role for NO oxidation, and persulfate only plays a complementary role for NO oxidation.

Abstract
Simultaneous removal process of SO2 and NO from flue gas using vacuum ultraviolet light (VUV)/heat/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) in a VUV spraying reactor was proposed. The key influencing factors, active species, reaction products and mechanism of SO2 and NO simultaneous removal were investigated. The results show that vacuum ultraviolet light (185 nm) achieves the highest NO removal efficiency and yield of and under the same test conditions. NO removal is enhanced at higher PMS concentration, light intensity and oxygen concentration, and is inhibited at higher NO concentration, SO2 concentration and solution pH. Solution temperature has a double impact on NO removal. CO2 concentration has no obvious effect on NO removal. and produced from VUV-activation of PMS play a leading role in NO removal. O3 and ·O produced from VUV-activation of O2 also play an important role in NO removal. SO2 achieves complete removal under all experimental conditions due to its very high solubility in water and good reactivity. The highest simultaneous removal efficiency of SO2 and NO reaches 100% and 91.3%, respectively.

Abstract
The oxidation removal of nitric oxide (NO) from flue gas using UV photolysis of aqueous hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2 and NaClO) in a photochemical spraying reactor was studied. The key parameters (e.g., light intensity, hypochlorite concentration, solution temperature, solution pH, and concentration of NO, SO2, O2, and CO2), mechanism and kinetics of NO oxidation removal were investigated. The results demonstrate that UV and hypochlorite have a significant synergistic role for promoting the production of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and enhancing NO removal. NO removal was enhanced with the increase of light intensity, hypochlorite concentration, or O2 concentration but was inhibited with the increase of NO or CO2 concentration. Solution temperature, solution pH, and SO2 concentration have double the effect on NO removal. NO is oxidized by ·OH and hypochlorite, and ·OH plays a key role in NO oxidation removal. The rate equation and kinetic parameters of NO oxidation removal were also obtained, which can provide an important theoretical basis for studying the numerical simulation of NO absorption process and the amplification design of the reactor.
