Emission of nitrous oxide (N O) from coal combustion at low temperatures has recently become a subject of intense research and debate, because of its increasing concentrations in the atmosphere and its known ability to deplete the Ozone layer and also to contribute to the Greenhouse e!ect.

β¦ Synopsis
The N20 emissions from combustion systems, especially coal-fired utility boilers, has been a matter of increasing concern because N20 contributes both to the greenhouse effect and to ozone depletion. Unfortunately, all measurements of these emissions to date have involved sampling procedures that allowed the flue gas to age prior to NzO analysis. In this article we report a computer modeling study of the chemical reactions which occur during the aging of flue gas samples. These reactions can produce N20 in the amounts observed and there is no need to assume that N20 was initially present.

The thermal reaction of CHzO with NO2 has been investigated in the temperature range of 393-476 K by means of FTIR product analysis. Kinetic modeling of the measured CH20, NO, CO, and CO, concentration-time profiles under varying reaction conditions gave rise to the rate constants for the following

Afterburning involves burning a secondary fuel in the flue gases from a fluidized bed combustor to raise the temperature, and thereby decrease the emission of N20. Tests in a 12-MW circulating fluidized bed boiler used the cyclone as an afterburning combustor. The results from these tests are analyz
