Method for simultaneously removing SO.sub.2 and NO.sub.X pollutants from exhaust of a combustion system

A method for simultaneously controlling SO.sub.2 and NO.sub.x pollutant emissions from a combustion system, consisting essentially of the steps of:

• providing an aqueous solution of calcium magnesium acetate;
• and
• spraying said solution into a high temperature environment of a combustion system in the presence of gaseous compounds including SO.sub.2 and NO.sub.x pollutants resulting from combustion in said combustion system, the acetate anion of said calcium magnesium acetate volatilizing and reacting with the NO.sub.x pollutant and, simultaneously, cenospheric, porous particles of calcium and magnesium oxide are formed and control SO.sub.2 pollutant emissions.

A method for simultaneously controlling SO.sub.2 and NO.sub.x pollutant emissions from a combustion system, consisting essentially of the steps of:

• providing an aqueous solution of calcium magnesium acetate;
• and
• spraying said solution into the high-temperature post-combustion zone of an internal combustion engine system in the presence of gaseous compounds including SO.sub.2 and NO.sub.x pollutants resulting from combustion in said internal combustion engine, the acetate anion of said calcium magnesium acetate volatilizing and reacting with the pollutant NO.sub.x and, simultaneously, cenospheric, porous particles of calcium and magnesium oxide forming and reacting with the SO.sub.2 pollutants.
