Process for removing nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides from gaseous stream

摘要

A process for removing NO.sub.x and/or SO.sub.x from a gaseous stream by oxidation with a fine flocculent acidic catalyst slurry which is regenerable during the process, in particular by pH adjustment in the absence of added heat. The catalyst slurry comprises MnO.sub.2, Mn.sub.2 O.sub.3, and Mn.sub.3 O.sub.4 having pH in the range from about 0.5 to about 6.5 and is prepared by aerating a divalent manganous salt in an aqueous solution having a pH in the range from about 8.0 to about 13.5.
