Abstract
Metal dissolution processes involving nitric acid are major sources of NOx. Technologies using hydrogen peroxide have been developed and proven on an industrial scale to suppress the emission of NOx from these processes. No changes are made to the dissolution process. Case histories are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide with particular reference to the pickling of stainless steels.
