Abstract: Pulverized COal reburning%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>COlor=#2f4a8b>COal reburning, ammonia injection and advanced reburning in a pilot scale drop tube furnace were investigated. Premix of petroleum gas, air and NH₃ were burned in a porous gas burner to generate the needed flue gas. Four kinds of pulverized COal were fed as reburning fuel at COnstant rate of 1 g/min. The COal reburning%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>COlor=#2f4a8b>COal reburning process parameters including 15%~25% reburn heat input, temperature range from 1100 °C to 1400 °C and also the carbon in fly ash, COal fineness, reburn zone stoichiometric ratio, etc. were investigated. On the COndition of 25% reburn heat input, maximum of 47% COlor=#2f4a8b>NO reduction with Yanzhou COal was obtained by pure COal reburning%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>COlor=#2f4a8b>COal reburning. Optimal temperature for reburning is about 1300 °C and fuel-rich stoichiometric ratio is essential; COal fineness can slightly enhance the reburning ability. The temperature window for ammonia injection is about 700 °C~1100 °C. CO can improve the NH₃ ability at lower temperature. During advanced reburning, 72.9% COlor=#2f4a8b>NO reduction was measured. To achieve more than 70% COlor=#2f4a8b>NO reduction, COlor=#2f4a8b>selective Non-catalytic NO_x Reduction (SNCR) should need NH₃/NO stoichiometric ratio larger than 5, while advanced reburning only uses COmmon dose of ammonia as in COnventional SNCR technology. Mechanism study shows the oxidization of CO can improve the deCOmposition of H₂O, which will rich the radical pools igniting the whole reactions at lower temperatures.
