Abstract

Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) of NO x by injecting N-containing reducing agent into a high temperature zone of combustors is a convenient way to remove NO x in flue gas. One of the drawbacks of SNCR processes is a narrow temperature window in which the effective reduction of NO x occurs. Chemical additives (hydrocarbons, alcohols, metal species) could enhance the performance of SNCR reaction. Synergistic effect between metals and organic chemicals on NO x reduction efficiency was experimentally studied in a pilot scale flow reactor (160 kw-hr). Among the tested additives, anionic surfactant of LAS showed the highest NO x removal efficiency at around 1000-1300 K. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 228th ACS National Meeting (Philadelphia, PA, 8/22-26/2004).
