Abstract

The invention pertains to a method and an apparatus for removing a nitrogen oxide (NOx) from a gas by bringing the gas into contact with a scrub liquid in a scrubber for converting the nitrogen oxide into molecular nitrogen (N2), wherein the scrub liquid comprises a metal ion chelate and a biomass, after which at least a portion of the scrub liquid is subjected to a membrane separation process for separating at least part of the metal ion chelate, and the biomass and other solidified components, from dissolved components, wherein the membrane separation process comprises:
