✦ Synopsis

The reduction of NO by carbonaceous solid has been studied in a packed bed reactor. After an initial transient, a steady rate of NO reduction is observed with N2, CO and CO 2 as the dominant products. Kinetic parameters of the reaction were obtained for various NO and CO concentrations, temperatures, and carbon types. The reaction rate per unit total surface area is found to be first order in NO, to have an apparent activation energy of 44 kcal/mole for temperatures higher than 873K, to be enhanced by the presence of CO, and to vary by approximately an order of magnitude between graphite and coal chars.

The processes in a fluidized-bed combustor are analysed, and equations are written to express the absorption rate of sulphur dioxide by limestone in admixture with the fuel feed. The procedure adopted for solution of the equations is described, and some of the results predicted by the model are brie

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the influence of combustion-air staging on the formation and reduction of NO and N20 from coal combustion, carried out in a 6.2-m-tall and 0.161-m i.d. circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) combustor. The main operating parameters examined were secondar
