✦ Synopsis

Electrogenerative processes cun be used to reduce nitric oxide to low levels in a vuriety of gas stretiins. An upproach for upplying these und related electrochemical reduction processes to selectively reduce NO, concentrutions in power plant efluents is discussed. Both electrogenerutive oxidation and reduction of sulfur dioxide cun occur. However, oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfirric ucid seems to be the 7iu)st feusible route for incorporution into an electrochemicul Jue gas treatment which might ulso produce useful chemicals. A strutegy for implementing an "electroclzemical scrubbing" procedure is described.
