Abstract

A process for removing both CO.sub.2 and NO.sub.x from combustion gases consists, first, in cooling a combustion gas to 50 to 100.degree. C. and adding ozone to oxidize NO in the combustion gas to NO.sub.2. Then in a CO.sub.2 removal step, the gas is brought into contact with an aqueous solution of an alcoholic hydroxyl-containing secondary- or tertiary-amine to remove NO.sub.2 together with CO.sub.2 from the gas.
