Abstract
An important factor to be considered in developing NO control strategies for pulverized coal combustors is the potential for the reduction of NO by char. Such reaction has been shown to reduce appreciably the emissions of NO from fluidized bed coal combustors (Pereira et al., 1975). A number of experimental studies were carried out of the NO/char reactions using fixed and fluidized bed reactors (Furusawa et al., 1977; Chan, 1977; Sprouse, 1977; Beér et al., 1977) in which the products of the reaction were identified and kinetic parameters of the reaction were determined. The present paper is concerned with the destruction of NO by char at temperatures of interest in pulverized coal flames.
