A novel process for the removal of NO x from flue gas by a combined Fe(II)EDTA absorption and microbial reduction has been demonstrated. Fe(II)EDTA–NO and Fe(III)EDTA (EDTA: ethylenediaminetetraacetate) can be effectively reduced to the active Fe(II)EDTA in the reactor containing microorganisms. In a steady‐state absorption and regeneration process, the final removal efficiency of NO is up to 88%. The effects of four main parameters (i.e. NO, O 2 and SO 2 concentrations, and the amount of cyclic solution) on NO x removal efficiency were experimentally investigated at 50 °C. The results provide some insight into conditions required for the successful removal of NO x from flue gas using the approach of Fe(II)EDTA absorption combined with microbial reduction.
