N2O-Emissions from Fluidized Bed Combustion

• Nitrous oxide, N20, is formed during combustion. In flames the N20 is removed because of the fast destruction at high temperatures. At the temperatures of fluidized bed com­bustion the destruction is much slower and N20 will leave the system, normally at a concentration of 50-200 ppm when burning coal. Using the results of the preliminary model in a CFB, it can be assumed that:- N20 is formed from char nitrogen in the bottom bed because of reactions in the pores of the particle. - Only some N20 is formed when NO is reduced during its journey up through the combustion chamber. - N20 is formed from HCN. This is a slow process (taking seconds) and it therefore takes place principally above the bottom bed.
