[PMID: 38917909 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is increasingly regarded as a significant greenhouse gas implicated in global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer, yet it is also recognized as a valuable resource. This paper comprehensively reviews innovative microbial denitrification techniques for recovering N2O from nitrogenous wastewater and flue gas. Critical analysis is carried out on cutting-edge processes such as the coupled aerobic-anoxic nitrous decomposition operation (CANDO) process, semi-artificial photosynthesis, and the selective utilization of microbial strains, as well as flue gas absorption coupled with heterotrophic/autotrophic denitrification. These processes are highlighted for their potential to facilitate denitrification and enhance the recovery rate of N2O. The review integrates feasible methods for process control and optimization, and presents the underlying mechanisms for N2O recovery through denitrification, primarily achieved by suppressing nitrous oxide reductase (Nos) activity and intensifying competition for electron donors. The paper concludes by recognizing the shortcomings in existing technologies and proposing future research directions, with an emphasis on prioritizing the collection and utilization of N2O while considering environmental sustainability and economic feasibility. Through this review, we aim to inspire interest in the recovery and utilization of N2O, as well as the development and application of related technologies.

Abstract
In this paper, TiO2 catalysts doped with different Fe contents (Fe-TiO2 catalysts) were prepared by coprecipitation method and the Fe loading capacity was optimized, and then the integrated pollutant removal experiment was conducted, in which TiO2 doped with Fe as catalyst and H2O2 as oxidant. The results show that under the condition of constant H2O2/(SO2 + NO) molar ratio, low concentration of SO2 can promote the oxidation and removal efficiency of NO, while high concentration of SO2 can inhibit the removal of NOx. The pollutant removal efficiency is proportional to the amount of catalyst, liquid-gas ratio and pH value of the absorbing solution. The optimal experimental conditions are H2O2/(SO2 + NO) molar ratio 1.5, space velocity ratio 10,000 h-1, H2O2 mass fraction 10 wt%, liquid gas ratio 10, pH 10. Correspondingly, NO oxidation efficiency reaches 88%, NOx removal efficiency 85.6%, and SO2 is almost completely removed. The microstructure of the catalyst before and after the reaction was characterized, and the crystal structure did not change obviously. However, with the deepening of the reaction, the specific surface area of the catalyst decreases, and the catalytic effect decreases slightly.

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
Sulfate radical (SO4•-)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have become promising alternatives in environmental remediation due to the higher redox potential (2.6-3.1 V) and longer half-life period (30-40 μs) of sulfate radicals compared with many other radicals such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH). The generation and mechanisms of SO4•- and the applications of SO4•--AOPs have been examined extensively, while those using sulfite as activation precursor and their comparisons among various activation precursors have rarely reviewed comprehensively. In this article, the latest progresses in SO4•--AOPs were comprehensively reviewed and commented on. First of all, the generation of SO4•- was summarized via the two activation methods using various oxidant precursors, and the generation mechanisms were also presented, which provides a reference for guiding researchers to better select two precursors. Secondly, the reaction mechanisms of SO4•- were reviewed for organic pollutant degradation, and the reactivity was systematically compared between SO4•- and •OH. Thirdly, methods for SO4•- detection were reviewed which include quantitative and qualitative ones, over which current controversies were discussed. Fourthly, the applications of SO4•--AOPs in various environmental remediation were summarized, and the advantages, challenges, and prospects were also commented. At last, future research needs for SO4•--AOPs were also proposed consequently. This review could lead to better understanding and applications of SO4•--AOPs in environmental remediations.

A Novel Method Based on Hydrodynamic Cavitation for Improving Nitric Oxide Removal Performance of NaClO 2. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:3684. [PMID: 36834379 PMCID: PMC9959747 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20043684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
In the removal of nitric oxide (NO) by sodium chlorite (NaClO2), the NaClO2 concentration is usually increased, and an alkaline absorbent is added to improve the NO removal efficiency. However, this increases the cost of denitrification. This study is the first to use hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) combined with NaClO2 for wet denitrification. Under optimal experimental conditions, when 3.0 L of NaClO2 with a concentration of 1.00 mmol/L was used to treat NO (concentration: 1000 ppmv and flow rate: 1.0 L/min), 100% of nitrogen oxides (NOx) could be removed in 8.22 min. Furthermore, the NO removal efficiency remained at 100% over the next 6.92 min. Furthermore, the formation of ClO2 by NaClO2 is affected by pH. The initial NOx removal efficiency was 84.8-54.8% for initial pH = 4.00-7.00. The initial NOx removal efficiency increases as the initial pH decreases. When the initial pH was 3.50, the initial NOx removal efficiency reached 100% under the synergistic effect of HC. Therefore, this method enhances the oxidation capacity of NaClO2 through HC, realizes high-efficiency denitrification with low NaClO2 concentration (1.00 mmol/L), and has better practicability for the treatment of NOx from ships.

Abstract
Traditional NOx treatment methods require external reducing reagents and harsh reaction conditions, which is not conducive to effectively eliminate NOx at low concentration, especially at ppb levels. Fortunately, low concentration NOx can be removed by photocatalytic oxidation under mild reaction conditions. Bismuth (Bi)-based photocatalysts with the layered structure have obtained considerable concerns of photocatalytic NOx oxidation. This review focused on typical layered Bi-based photocatalysts (Bi2WO6, Bi2O2CO3, BiOY (YCl, Br, and I), BiOIO3, and BiOCOOH) with the structure of [Bi2O2]2+ layer for photocatalytic NOx oxidation. The strategies (morphological control, defect engineering, heterostructure construction, etc.) to improve photocatalytic oxidation activity were summarized. Furthermore, the mechanism involving various free radicals (hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, etc.) of photocatalytic oxidation of NOx was proposed. In addition, the non-NO2 selectivity was also illuminated. Lastly, the current drawbacks and further research directions for photocatalytic NOx oxidation were elaborated. The development of photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity, wide light absorption range, and non-NO2 selectivity is the focus of future research. This review aims to provide a pandect and theoretical guidance for the practical application of photocatalytic oxidation of NOx.

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
Based on the ultra-low emission demand of SO2 and NOx in flue gas, a new absorption method was proposed to improve the desulfurization and denitrification efficiency and reduce the amount of ozone by using sodium ascorbate as an additive in red mud slurry. Compared with pure red mud slurry, the red mud (RM) + sodium ascorbate (SA) slurry significantly improved the denitrification efficiency from 24% to 84% and the desulfurization efficiency to 98%. Meanwhile, the effects of RM, SA concentration, reaction time and O3/NO molar ratio on desulfurization and denitrification efficiencies were studied. The results showed that the RM + SA composite slurry maintained high efficiencies of desulfurization and denitrification for 240 min under the optimized conditions. As an antioxidant, the introduction of SA inhibited the excessive oxidation of sulfite, and itself could easily react with NO2 through the redox reaction, greatly promoting the absorption of NO2. In addition, the reaction mechanism of the simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO2 by red mud and sodium ascorbic mixed slurry combined was proposed.

Nitrogen oxide (NOx) is a major gaseous pollutant in flue gases from power plants, industrial processes, and waste incineration that can have adverse impacts on the environment and human health. Many denitrification (de-NOx) technologies have been developed to reduce NOx emissions in the past several decades. This paper provides a review of the recent literature on NOx post-combustion purification methods with different reagents. From the perspective of changes in the valence of nitrogen (N), purification technologies against NOx in flue gas are classified into three approaches: oxidation, reduction, and adsorption/absorption. The removal processes, mechanisms, and influencing factors of each method are systematically reviewed. In addition, the main challenges and potential breakthroughs of each method are discussed in detail and possible directions for future research activities are proposed. This review provides a fundamental and systematic understanding of the mechanisms of denitrification from flue gas and can help researchers select high-performance and cost-effective methods.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the feasibility, reaction mechanisms, and potential of practical applications of a dual oxidant (DuOx) system comprising calcium peroxide (CP) and persulfate (PS) catalyzed using Fe(II) [PS/CP/Fe(II)]. The DuOx system was superior in phenol degradation to single oxidant systems, i.e., PS/Fe(II) or CP/Fe(II), with 95.5% phenol removal under an optimum condition of a phenol/PS/CP/Fe(II) molar ratio of 1/1/5/6 ([Phenol]0=0.5 mM). Based on scavenger studies and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, the phenol removal in the DuOx system was barrierless, with negative activation energy assisted by robust reactive species. The phenol degradation results in the presence of methanol, t-butanol, l-histidine, and NaN3. The ESR spectroscopy indicates that phenol degradation is attributed dominantly to 1O2 generated by recombining O2•- and radicals, such as hydroxyl (HO•) and sulfate (SO4•-). The performance of the DuOx system was highly efficient in pH 3-11, up to 10 mM Cl-, SO42-, or NO3-, and up to 50 mg/L humic acids but was strongly suppressed by more than 10 mM HCO3- and H2PO4-. In addition, the DuOx system was efficient in phenol removal in natural groundwater as well as removing and mineralizing other phenolic compounds (PCs) such as bisphenol A, chlorophenol, dichlorophenol, trichlorophenol, and nitrophenol. These results provide insights into the reactions induced by the DuOx system and confirm its applicability of in situ chemical oxidation in refractory organic pollutants.

Abstract
3% Fe/Al2O3 and 3% Fe/Al2O3@SiO2 were prepared to investigate the performance in simultaneous removal of NOx and SO2 using vaporized H2O2. Certain paraments were changed to explore the activity of catalysts, including temperature, H2O2 concentration, GHSV and coexistence gases component. A 24-h durability test was conducted on 3% Fe/Al2O3@SiO2. Moreover, a series of characterizations were employed to analyze the physical and chemical properties of catalysts, including XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, FTIR and XPS. Compared with 3% Fe/Al2O3, 3% Fe/Al2O3@SiO2 exhibited more excellent catalytic activity, which could achieve the peak removal efficiency of 100% for SO2 and 93.76% for NOx. Moreover, 3% Fe/Al2O3@SiO2 kept stable simultaneous removal efficiency in a 24-h test. The characterization results indicated that the BET area was greatly improved and the core-shell structure was synthesized with the formation of more micropores and mesopores by the coating of SiO2, which could improve the activity of catalyst at high temperature and high SO2 concentration. Besides, the mechanism of SO2 molecules on simultaneous removal was investigated. On one hand, a part of H2O2 was consumed by SO2 molecules without catalyst, which resulted in the drop of NOx removal by the decrease of oxidants. The main products were sulfites and bisulfites, which were broken down into SO2 over the catalyst. On the other hand, the presence of SO2 was beneficial for NOx removal by increasing oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface and facilitating the absorption of NO2 by NaOH solution.

Abstract
This review article provides a state-of-art insight into the removal of NO, SO2 and elemental mercury (Hg0) from flue gas by using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) method. Firstly, the main flue gas purification strategies based on AOPs would be classified as gas-gas, gas-liquid and gas-solid systems preliminarily, and the primary chemistry/mechanism of the above homogeneous/heterogeneous reaction systems were presented as the oxidation of NO, SO2 and Hg0 by the oxidative free radicals (OH, O2 and SO4-etc.). Secondly, the research progress and reaction pathways for separately or simultaneously removing NO, SO2 and Hg0 from flue gas by AOPs has been reviewed elaborated and analyzed in more details. Notably, the wet/dry oxidation coupled with efficient absorption process would be a promising method of efficient removal of above gaseous pollutants. Subsequently, four types of assumed layout modes were described graphically. The application prospects of AOPs for the purification of flue gas from coal-fired boiler or industrial furnace were evaluated and found that the operation cost and utilization of oxidants must be reduced and improved respectively. Finally, the limitations in the current removal technologies based on AOPs are highlighted, meanwhile the future research directions are suggested, such as cut down the cost of oxidants and catalysts, improve the yield and valid utilization of highly reactive radicals and enhance the reactivity, resistance and stability of catalysts. Significantly, it is also envisaged that the review could enrich the knowledge repository to function as a scientific reference for the sustainable development of economical, effective and environment-friendly technologies for the abatement of a wide variety of emissions from flue gas, and further improve the feasibility and reliability of the strategies for moving from laboratory studies to large-scale development and industrial application.

Abstract
Experimental observations indicate that sulfate formation in aerosol is sensitive to the concentrations of nitric oxide (NO2). While it also widely exists as a dimer in the gas phase, previous studies focus on the monomer of NO2. In this study, we employ quantum chemical calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the reaction between the NO2 dimer (ONONO2) and sulfite (HSO3-/SO32-) in the gas phase and in an aerosol. Gas-phase reactions turn out to be barrierless. In an aerosol, the reaction between adsorbed ONONO2 and HSO3- to form ONSO3- follows a stepwise mechanism with proton and electron transfer processes. The reaction between ONONO2 and SO32- is more straightforward. Nevertheless, both reactions occur at a picosecond time scale. Decomposition of ONSO3- can form an NO molecule and SO3-, which gives a complementary pathway for sulfate formation in an aerosol. Hydrolysis of ONSO3- to form HNO and HSO4- is highly impossible in an aerosol, which calls for a revisit of the atmospheric N2O formation mechanism. The results presented in this study deepen our understanding of the interaction between NO2 and SO2 pollutants in the atmosphere.

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
Flue gases contain SO2 and NOx that can be treated together for elemental sulphur recovery in bioscrubbers, a technology that couples physical-chemical and biological processes for gaseous emissions treatment in a more economic manner than classical absorption. Sequential wet absorption of SO2 and NOx from flue gas is thoroughly studied in this work in a two-stage bioscrubber towards elemental sulphur valorisation pursuing reuse of biological process effluents as absorbents. The optimal operating conditions required for SO2 and NOx absorption in two consecutive spray absorbers were defined using NaOH-based absorbents. Overall, removal efficiencies of 98.9% and 55.9% for SO2 and NOx abatement were obtained in two in-series scrubbers operated under a gas contact time of 1 and 100 s, and a liquid-to-gas ratio of 7.5 and 15 L m-3, respectively. Higher NOx removal efficiency to clean gas emission was obtained by oxidants dosing in the absorber for NOx absorption. High NaHCO3 concentration in a two-stage bioscrubber effluent was exploited as alkaline absorbent for flue gas treatment. The performance of scrubbers using an absorbent mimicking a reused effluent exhibited the same removal efficiencies than those observed using NaOH solutions. In addition, the reuse of bioprocess effluent reduced reagents' consumption by a 63.7%. Thus, the two-stage bioscrubber proposed herein offers an environmentally friendly and economic alternative for flue gas treatment.

Abstract
The dry flue gas desulfurization (FGD) method was studied, which is a part of the integrated removal of multi-pollutants at medium temperatures. Although dry flue gas treatment is a simple and effective method, it is still a highly empirical-led application technology. A superior desulfurization adsorbent, fine powder of NaHCO3 (hereinafter called fine NaHCO3), was selected by scale-up experiments. A deep understanding of the reaction process and mechanism is then explored, which helps the further optimization of dry desulfurization. Based on the multi-factor experiments for NaHCO3, the effect mechanism of NO on desulfurization using NaHCO3 is also proposed. The conversion of SO32− → SO42− is promoted by the existence of NO. Therefore, a slight decline can be found. According to the influences of the SO2 concentration and the residence time, it is concluded that the diffusion of SO2 into the channel of NaHCO3 is the rate-limiting step. Impressively, the reaction process of reactants was clearly studied by in situ FTIR spectroscopy to determine the whole process. Moreover, the recycling of NaHCO3 is the main direction for reducing adsorbent consumption in the next step. The predictable insights are beneficial for profoundly understanding the gas composition synergetic interaction for the SO2 removal by the dry treatment using NaHCO3. A superior desulfurizer, fine NaHCO3 was selected by scale-up experiments. A deep understanding of the reaction process and mechanism was explored. The effect mechanism of NO on desulfurization using NaHCO3 was proposed by in situ FTIR results.![]()

Abstract
The novel combined system using Na2S2O8/urea was used to simultaneously absorb nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions from marine diesel engines as well as inhibit the formation of nitrate in cleaning wastewater to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of regulations. The influences of reaction temperature, Na2S2O8 concentration, urea concentration, SO2 concentration, NO concentration and pH value on SO2 removal efficiency, NO removal efficiency and nitrate concentration were investigated. The experimental results showed that different reaction temperatures had different influences on SO2 removal efficiency, NO removal efficiency and nitrate concentration. An increase in Na2S2O8 could improve the absorption of NO. The addition of urea could effectively improve the removal efficiency of NO and reduce the nitrate concentration. The removal efficiencies of 1000 ppm NO and 1000 ppm SO2 achieved 100 % with 0.2 mol/L Na2S2O8 and 2 mol/L urea at 70℃, and the nitrate content was 8.56 mg/L which was far lower than the regulatory requirement of 60 mg/L. The acidic condition (pH ≤ 5.5) not only facilitated the absorption of NO but also reduced the generation of nitrate. According to the experimental results, the novel combined system was promising to be applied to the control technology of marine diesel engine exhaust.

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
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
An integrated method of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification from flue gas by catalytic ozonation combined with NH3/(NH4)2S2O8 absorption was developed for the first time. It consisted of two parts: (1) the catalytic ozonation of NO over FeOx/SAPO-34 to study the effects of the various influencing factors, and (2) the absorption-oxidation of NOx and SO2 induced by ozone combined with a NH3/(NH4)2S2O8 solution in a bubble column reactor. In Part 1, results showed that under the optimal condition of a molar ratio of 0.5 for O3/NO, a residence time of 3 s, a water vapor volume fraction of 4%, a NO initial concentration of 536 mg/m3, and a SO2 initial concentration of 343 mg/m3, the oxidation rate of NO was 55%. The characterizations of poisoned catalyst are briefly discussed. In Part 2, as the gas passed sequentially through the ozonizing reactor and the absorber (NH3/(NH4)2S2O8 solution of 0.8% ammonia and 0.2 mol/L (NH4)2S2O8), a NO conversion rate of approximately 92.6% and SO2 conversion rate of 100% were obtained. The pH of the NH3/(NH4)2S2O8 solution had a significant impact on the NO conversion. According to the analysis of the composition of products under different pHs, a mechanism of desulfurization and denitrification based on NH3/(NH4)2S2O8 solutions was proposed. The reaction product as a compound fertilizer contained up to 24.5% nitrogen.

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
As it has a simple system and a small floor area, flue gas simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification technology has a good development prospect, 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 and SO2 from flue gas using a semi-dry microwave activation persulfate system was developed for the first time. A series of experiments and characterization analyses had been implemented to research the feasibility of this new flue gas purification technology. The oxidation products, free radicals, and mechanism of NO and SO2 simultaneous removal were revealed. The effect of the main technological parameters on NO and SO2 simultaneous removal was also studied. Relevant results demonstrated that an increase in the microwave radiation power, persulfate concentration, and O2 concentration enhanced NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. The increase of NO and SO2 concentrations weakened NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. The reagent dosage, pH value of the solution, and reaction temperature showed a dual influence on NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. Free-radical capture experiments revealed that both SO4-• and •OH that were produced by microwave activation of persulfate were the major active species and played very key roles in NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. The main products (sulfate and nitrate) and byproducts (NO2) in the tail gas were found. The process application and product post-treatment routes were also proposed. The result may provide the necessary inspiration and guidance for the development and application of microwave-activated advanced oxidation technology in the flue gas treatment area.

Abstract
The micronano bubble water system (MNBW) generated by a micronano bubble generator (MNBG) has the superior oxidation properties and can improve gas solubility. In the study, a new wet recycling process based on MNBW is proposed to simultaneously remove nitric oxide (NO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). The important experimental parameters such as initial water pH, initial water temperature, NO and SO2 concentrations, and the presence of oxygen (O2) were investigated to explore the feasibility of desulfurization and denitration with MNBW. The experimental results showed that decreasing initial water pH or increasing initial water temperature and NO and SO2 concentrations were not conducive to the removal of NO or SO2. O2 could promote the removal of NO, but it had no effect on SO2 removal. In addition, SO2 removal efficiency always remained high and did not change obviously during the experimental period. However, NO removal efficiency gradually decreased in the first 50 min and then became stable.

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
Abstract
The method of micro bubbles is widely applied in the fields of water and soil treatment. A novel treatment method of NO in flue gas through a gas–liquid two-phase system formed by micro bubbles is proposed in this study. The system depends on the generation of hydroxyl radicals. The NO removal performance of the micro gas–liquid dispersion system induced by catalysts and O3 was explored and the reaction pathways were elucidated. Micro bubbles, Fe2+, and Mn2+ in solution improved NO removal performance significantly. Salinity and surfactants affected the removal performance of NO by altering micro bubbles. In the presence of Fe2+, the NO removal rate reached 65.2% at pH 5, 75.8% under 0.5 g/L NaCl and 82.1% under 6 mg/L sodium dodecyl sulfate. In the presence of Mn2+, the NO removal rate reached 69.2% at pH 5, 83.2% under 0.5 g/L NaCl and 92.3% under 6 mg/L sodium dodecyl sulfate. However, in the presence of both Mn2+ and Fe2+, NO conversion rate was 93.2%. The NO removal rate in the presence of O3 was further improved under the same conditions. The study provides the basis for the application and development of micro bubbles in flue gas treatments for NO removal. The results can help to solve the problems of high operating cost, large oxidant consumption, secondary pollution, and high energy consumption in traditional NO removal methods.

Abstract
A nano-sized iron loaded ZSM-5 zeolite (Fe/ZSM-5) catalyst was firstly used to activate (NH4)2S2O8 solution for the simultaneous removal of multi-pollutant from flue gas. The simultaneous removal efficiencies 100% of SO2, 72.6% of NO and 93.4% of Hg° were achieved under the condition that the catalyst dose was 0.8 g/L, concentration, pH and temperature of (NH4)2S2O8 solution were 0.03 mol/L, 5 and 65 °C, respectively. The stability of catalyst was checked by a continuous test, proving that the catalytic activity was maintained for 4 h and the leached iron reached low levels. Based on the catalyst characterizations, product analysis and literatures, the removal mechanism was speculated preliminarily, during which, OH and SO4- played key roles for oxidizing NO and Hg° into NO3- and Hg2+.

Abstract
Waste reutilization is always highly desired in the environmental engineering and science community. In this study, Fe-SCG biochar was functionalized by modifying spent coffee grounds (SCG) with magnetite (Fe3+) at 700 °C and applied for the oxidative removal of tetracycline (TC) with the presence of persulfate (PS). The effects of pH, dosage of biochar and sodium persulfate and initial TC concentration on TC degradation were investigated in a batch system. Our results show that higher TC degradation efficiency was obtained at low pH, low initial TC concentration, and at high dosages of PS and biochar. The highest removal efficiency (96%) was achieved by Fe-SCG/PS under the conditions of pH = 2.0, [Fe-SCG] = 2.5 g/L, [PS] = 60 mM and [TC] = 1 mM. The proposed Fe-SCG catalyst could be a promising effective biochar for the remediation of other emerging organic contaminants.

Factors affecting the removal of NOx and SO2, such as NaClO2 and Na2S2O8 concentrations, solution temperature, the initial pH of solution, gas flow rate, and SO2, NO, and O2 concentrations were studied, with a special attention to NOx removal. Results indicate that a synergistic effect on NOx removal has been obtained through combination of NaClO2 and Na2S2O8. NaClO2 in the solution played a more important role than did Na2S2O8 for the removal of NOx. The above factors had an important impact on the removal of NOx, especially the solution temperature, the initial pH of the solution, and the oxidant concentrations. The optimum experimental conditions were established, and a highest efficiency of NOx removal of more than 80% was obtained. Meanwhile, tandem double column absorption experiments were conducted, and a NOx removal efficiency of more than 90% was reached, using NaOH solution as an absorbant in the second reactor. A preliminary reaction mechanism for NOx and SO2 removal was deduced, based on experimental results. The composite absorbent has the potential to be used in the wet desulfurization and denitration process, to realize the synergistic removal of multi-pollutants.

Abstract
The use of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to integrate flue gas treatments for SO2, NOx and Hg0 into a single process unit is rapidly gaining research attention. AOPs are processes that rely on the generation of mainly the hydroxyl radical. This work evaluates the effectiveness of the simultaneous removal of NO and SO2 from flue gas utilizing AOP induced by the combined heat and Fe2+ activation of aqueous persulfate, and elucidates the reaction pathways. The results indicated that both SO2 in the flue gas and Fe2+ in solution improved NO removal, while the SO2 is almost completely removed. Increased temperature led to increase in NO removal in the absence and presence of both Fe2+ and SO2, and in the absence of either SO2 or Fe2+, but the enhanced NO removal due to the presence of SO2 alone dominated at all temperatures. The removal of NO increased from 77.5% at 30 °C to 80.5% and 82.3% at 50 °C and 70 °C in the presence of SO2 alone, and from 35.3% to 62.7% and 81.2%, respectively, in the presence of Fe2+ alone. However, in the presence of both SO2 and Fe2+, NO conversion is 46.2% at 30 °C, increased only slightly to 48.2% at 50 °C; but sharply increased to 78.7% at 70 °C compared to 63.9% for persulfate-only activation. Results suggest NO removal in the presence of SO2 is equally effective by heat-only or heat-Fe2+ activation as the temperature increases. The results should be useful for future developments of advanced oxidation processes for flue gas treatments.

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.
