Fuel-NOx release during coal blends combustion
The emission of nitrogen oxides from coal combustion has a major environmental impact. Recently, a number of power stations have been successively burning blended coals, while meeting NOx emission limits. In this paper, the emission of nitrogen and NOx release during blended pulverized coal combustion have been investigated in a horizontal' electric heating reactor and a drop-tube furnace. Formation and conversion of the intermediate N0containing species as HCN and NHI were also measured. The influence of components coal properties on NO and char-NO has been analyzed. The nitrogen evolution of blended coals has no obvious linear relation with blended ratios. Fuel-NOx release from blended coal combustion take a longer time than that form single one. At high temperature, the reaction of the conversion from Char-N to NOx is diffusion control reaction. At low temperature, the reaction is under chemical control reaction, which is similar with the conversion of volatile-N to NOx.
