Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
53 words
A method for removing NO from an exhaust gas which comprises washing the exhaust gas with a first aqueous solution containing 5-42% wt. of a chloride of Mg or Ca, and 0.01-20% wt. of a hypochlorite of Mg or Ca, and washing said washed gas with a second aqueous solution of an alkali.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
53 words
A method for removing NO from an exhaust gas which comprises washing the exhaust gas with a first aqueous solution containing 5-42% wt. of a chloride of Mg or Ca, and 0.01-20% wt. of a hypochlorite of Mg or Ca, and washing said washed gas with a second aqueous solution of an alkali.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the first aqueous solution contains 15 - 30% wt. of calcium chloride and 0.1 - 3% wt. of calcium hypochlorite.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
99 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the exhaust gas is contacted with a first aqueous solution to remove NO from the exhaust gas by absorption of the NO into the first aqueous solution, and wherein the exhaust gas is then contacted with a second circulation system to remove ClO - and Cl 2 from the washed gas by absorption of the ClO - and Cl 2 in the second aqueous solution, and wherein the spent second aqueous solution is recycled into the first aqueous solution to replenish the ClO - and Cl 2 content of said first aqueous solution.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of claim 3, wherein the spent second aqueous solution is one in which the concentration of hypochlorite is 0.01 - 5% wt. when it is recycled to said first solution.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method of claim 3, wherein the spent second aqueous solution has a concentration of hypochlorite of 0.1 - 2% wt. when it is recycled to said first solution.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 3, wherein the spent second aqueous solution is supplied to the first circulation system after the pH is adjusted to below 8.
