Well your question leaves much to be revealed...

Do you have to separate them from each other or just from the surrounding "air"? I am assuming you need to run your byproduct gases through something so they do not reach the atmosphere so why not just bubble them through concentrated NaOH solution or better yet, solid NaOH pellets/slush. This would remove the CO2 for sure, converting it to carbonate largely and I think you might also get sodium nitrite because of the combination of NO, and NO2....however, if you are talking low concentrations of all these, it might not work as well.
