Nitrogen oxide emissions from combustion processes reactingwith hydrocarbons in the atmosphere are precursors to the formation ofozone. To reduce atmospheric ozone, nitrogen oxide emissions are beingregulated.A new method for removing nitrogen oxides from combustion gas streams isproposed. The process system minimizes risks and hazards associated withthe transport, storage, and use of anhydrous and aqueous ammonia that arecurrently used for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and selectivenon-catalytic reductions (SNCR) systems for NOx control. Laboratory testsfor the optimization of the system design and operating parameters areplanned.
