Abstract
The selective removal of nitric oxide from gas streams was investigated using 3,6-dimethyl-3-octyl hydroperoxide, p-menthanyl hydroperoxide, pinanyl hydroperoxide, and cumenyl hydroperoxide in solutions of n-hexadecane (cetane). The influence of different variables such as temperature, gas stream flow rate (or residence time), and concentration of hydroperoxide compounds on rate of NO removal was evaluated. The NO reacted with the hydroperoxides to produce allyl nitrates. These are easily hydrolyzed with ammonium hydroxide to ammonium nitrate and the alcohol
