Addition of the metal chelate anion Fe(II)*EDTA{sup 2+} has been shown to increase the amount of gaseous NO{sub x} absorbed from a gas stream containing SO{sub 2}, where an aqueous scrubbing process is used to treat the gas. Recently, we published and presented data on improved systems for NO{sub x} removal that incorporate an antioxidant and/or reducing agent in the process, together with the Fe(II)*EDTA. In this paper, a mathematical model describing NO{sub x} removal as a function of the square root of Fe(II)*EDTA concentration in the solution and of the operating conditions is derived and validated
