The addition of ammonia to the exhaust stream of stationary combustors is a promising approach toward reducing NO/sub x/ emissions. The use of high sulfur-content fuels will produce moderate quantities of SO/sub 2/ and other sulfur-bearing compounds which may affect the effectiveness of this thermal deNO/sub x/ process. Initial modeling efforts indicate that the presence of SO/sub 2/ is slightly beneficial in removing NO near 1250/sup 0/K. In addition, experiments show that the ammonia species (NH/sub i/, i=1,2,3) do not directly form NO upon reaction with SO/sub 2/. Other products of these reactions are currently being measured.
