Abstract
Nitrogen oxides (NOx), including nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), are among the most important global atmospheric pollutants because they have a negative impact on human respiratory health, animals, and the environment through the greenhouse effect and ozone layer destruction. NOx compounds are predominantly generated by anthropogenic activities, which involve combustion processes such as energy production, transportation, and industrial activities. The most widely used alternatives for NOx abatement on an industrial scale are selective catalytic and non-catalytic reductions; however, these alternatives have high costs when treating large air flows with low pollutant concentrations, and most of these methods generate residues that require further treatment. Therefore, biotechnologies that are normally used for wastewater treatment (based on nitrification, denitrification, anammox, microalgae, and combinations of these) are being investigated for flue gas treatment. Most of such investigations have focused on chemical absorption and biological reduction (CABR) systems using different equipment configurations, such as biofilters, rotating reactors, or membrane reactors. This review summarizes the current state of these biotechnologies available for NOx treatment, discusses and compares the use of different microorganisms, and analyzes the experimental performance of bioreactors used for NOx emission control, both at the laboratory scale and in industrial settings, to provide an overview of proven technical solutions and biotechnologies for NOx treatment. Additionally, a comparative assessment of the advantages and disadvantages is performed, and special challenges for biological technologies for NO abatement are presented.

Abstract
Cobalt(II)-histidine [Co(II)His] is potentially a better alternative to ferrous complexes in the chemical absorption-biological reduction (CABR) flue gas denitrification process in view of its higher oxygenation reversibility. Though with excellent O2-resistant ability, Co(II)His was still gradually oxidized into Co(III)His, losing NO binding capacity. Thus, Co(III)His biological reduction is an indispensable step in CABR process. Co(III)His reduction by Paracoccus versutus LYM under aerobic condition in the presence of nitrate or nitrite was investigated. Results indicated that simultaneous Co(III)His reduction and aerobic denitrification were achieved by strain LYM. Co(III)His reduction was significantly promoted by denitrification process, but dramatically inhibited by 5-15 mM sulfite. Co(II)His absorbent regeneration could be facilitated by adjusting O2 supply properly or adding nitrogen and carbon source regularly. These findings provide a basis for the application of Co(II)His as the absorbent in the CABR process and qualify P. versutus LYM as an applicable and competitive strain for this process.

Abstract
The effects of ozone concentration, NaOH concentration, type and concentration of additives, initial pH, temperature, and NO and SO2 concentration on simultaneous removal of NO and SO2 were studied through ozone oxidation combined with wet absorption. Results indicated that ozone concentration and the type and concentration of additives had the most significant effect on NO removal. The optimal ozone concentration was 250 ppm (NO/NO2 = 1), and the best additive was KMnO4. The removal efficiency of NO x was as high as 97.86% when NO/NO2 = 1, and the concentration of KMnO4 was 0.025 mol/L. Considering economic and other factors, the KMnO4 concentration was selected to be 0.006 mol/L. At this time, the removal efficiencies of NO x and SO2 were 81.35 and 100%, respectively. This method has potential application prospects for simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO in the industrial flue gas.

Abstract
To overcome the problem that ferrous complexes are easily oxidized by O2 and then lose NO binding ability in the chemical absorption-biological reduction (CABR) process, cobalt(II)-histidine [Co(II)His] was proposed as an alternative. To evaluate the applicability of Co(II)His, the effects of CoHis absorbent on the aerobic denitrification by Paracoccus versutus LYM were investigated. Results indicated that His significantly promoted nitrite reduction. The inhibition effects of CoHis absorbent could be substantially alleviated by increasing the initial His/Co2+ to 4 or higher. CoHis with concentrations of 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 mM presented no distinct effect on nitrite reduction, but slightly inhibited the reduction of nitrate, resulting in longer lag of nitrate reduction, and obviously promoted the growth of strain LYM. In the presence of 5, 10, 15 and 20 mM CoHis absorbent, the main denitrification product was N2 (not less than 95.0%). This study is of significance in verifying the applicability of Co(II)His in the CABR process, and provides a referable CoHis absorbent concentration as 20 mM with an initial His/Co2+ of 4 for the future experiments.
