Abstract

The effects of various combustion conditions (i.e. particle size of coals, oxygen concentration in combustion gas and coal content in the fuel bed, etc.), on reducing conversion of NOx during coal combustion were studied. Under the present combustion conditions, coals with smaller particle size gave the lower conversion of NOx, and as expected that an decrease in overall stoichiometric ratio, whether by an decrease in O2 content in combustion gas or by an increase in coal content in fuel bed would lead to a lower conversion of NOx. In order to investigate the effect of metallic oxide layers on restraining NOx formation, the combustion experiments for coal granules with adhering layer of various metallic oxides including Fe2O3, Ni2O3 and mixed oxides Fe-Ni-Ox were conducted in a packed bed combustor. The combustion experiments have shown that most of adhering materials gave considerable effect on reduction of NOx emission during coal combustion.
