The experiments were performed in a spray column to study the simultaneous absorption of NO and SO 2 using NaClO solution from simulated gas stream under various experimental conditions. The effects of various influencing parameters, such as absorbent concentration, reaction temperature, initial SO 2 and NO concentration, and initial pH of NaClO solution on simultaneous removal of SO 2 and NO, were emphatically investigated in regard to coal‐fired thermal power plant stack gas emission control. The maximum removal efficiencies of SO 2 and NO were found as 97% and 87.8%, respectively, at 313 K, initial NaClO solution pH 5.4 and 0.024 M NaClO concentration. The addition of CO 2 in simulated gas stream was also carried out to see its influence on removal efficiency of SO 2 and NO. The results using a spray column showed that NaClO can be used effectively for simultaneous removal of NO and SO 2 from coal‐fired thermal power plant simulated gas stream. © 2015 Curtin University of Technology and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
