This patent describes a method of removing NO from a stream of combustion products injecting an alkyl amine into the stream to effect reduction of NO to N{sub 2}, wherein the alkyl amine comprises methyl amine, and the process is conducted at a temperature within the range of 350{degrees} C at a molar ratio to amine within the range of about 0.2 to 2.0 without a NO reduction catalyst, the method being capable of at least about a 50% conversion of NO in the combustion products to N{sub 2}.
