Title: Process for the reduction of nitrogen oxides in an effluent using a heterocyclic hydrocarbon

Abstract

This patent describes a process for the reduction of the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the effluent from the combustion of a carbonaceous fuel. The process comprises injecting a treatment agent which comprises furfural into the effluent under conditions effective to reduce the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the effluent.
