Abstract
The rate constants for the reaction OH + NH/sub 3/ ..-->.. NH/sub 2/ + H/sub 2/O have been measured over the temperature range 294 - 1075 K. The data can be fit by the Arrhenius expression k(cm/sup 3/ molecule/sup -1/ s/sup -1/) = 5.41 +- 0.86 x 10/sup -12/ exp(-2120 +- 143 kcal mol/sup -1//RT). A chemical model of the NO/sub x/ chemistry has been developed which includes 54 reactions. Although not yet complete, the reaction set clearly indicates the key reaction is NH/sub 2/ + NO. The determination of the product channels and their branching ratios is of utmost importance in understanding the effect of NH/sub 3/ addition to combustor exhaust streams for removal of NO/sub x/.Keywords
