PURPOSE: To remove SOx and NOx from combustion exhaust, etc., containing them to a concentration as low as that of the environmental standard.
CONSTITUTION: Exhaust gas containing SOx and NOx such as fossil fuel combustion exhaust is denitrated (primary denitration process) in a catalytic denitration apparatus 2 and then desulfurized (primary desulfurization process) in a wet desulfurization apparatus 5. SOx and NOx remained in these treatments are removed in a SOx-NOx adsorption column 6 to low concentration (secondary denitration and desulfurization process). An adsorbent is regenerated by heating; desorbed NOx and SOx are sent to the primary denitration process and the primary desulfurization process respectively to make them harmless. A part of the heat generated in a fossil fuel combustion facility is utilized for the regeneration of the adsorbent.
