Abstract
The formation of nitric oxide was studied on a fixed bed reactor with two methods: char/coal blend combustion and char/coal split combustion. The char was generated from coal pyrolysis in the temperature range of 973-1373 K. Nitric oxide emission during char/coal blend combustion is higher than the total nitric oxide emission from char/coal split combustion. Furthermore, the difference of nitric oxide emission between the two methods increases with temperature while the mass fraction of char in the blend is 13.04%. The dominating role of the char is to absorb the precursors of nitric oxide during char/coal blend combustion.
