NO reduction by potassium containing coal briquettes. Effect of mineral matter content and coal rank
- Universidad de Alicante (Spain)
The reduction of NO by potassium containing coal briquettes has been investigated. The process of briquetting, by means of a binder that contains potassium allows, using different binder/coal ratios, to obtain carbons with different potassium contents. The briquettes can be moulded in the desired form with noticeable mechanical strength. The effects of mineral matter content and coal rank have been analyzed. The NO-carbon reaction was studied in a fixed-bed flow reactor at atmospheric pressure using two types of experiments: (1) isothermal reaction at 300-600{degrees}C; and (2) temperature-programmed reaction (TPR) in a NO/He mixture. The reaction products were monitored in both cases, thus allowing detailed oxygen and nitrogen balances to he determined. Coal rank affects the reactivity of the briquettes, the lower rank coals have a larger activity. Mineral matter content in the raw coal interacts with the potassium catalyst producing non active species.
