Effect of absorbents on NOx removal through polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane modules

NOx (NO and NO2) are air toxins that endanger life and represent a hazard to the environment, such as photochemical smog, global warming, acid rain, ozone depletion, and the occurrence of respiratory infections. Some technological strategies to diminish NOx emissions to meet regulations depend on tw...
