Abstract:
Reduction of NO and N
2O with the simulated pyrolysis gas has been experimentally studied in an ideal plug flow reactor. The influences of reaction temperature, excess air number λ, concentrations of CH
4, CO, H
2, NH
3 in the simulated pyrolysis gas, concentrations of NO and N
2O in the flue gas on concentration of NO as well N
2O and total nitrogen conversion efficiency have been discussed. The results show that CH
4, CO and H
2 cannot effectively react with NO at 973~1 223 K. About 0~30% of the inlet N
2O can be reduced by CH
4, CO, or H
2 when λ is equal to or less than 1.0. Furthermore, about 10%~60% of the inlet NO can be reduced by NH
3, however, no N
2O concentration change is found when N
2O is mixed with NH
3 at 973~1 223 K.
