Abstract

Investigations of fuel nitrogen release during pyrolysis/gasification of four coal samples in different gas atmospheres, including N2, CO2, 3%O2/CO2 and 6%O2/CO2, are performed in a U tube fixed-bed quartz reactor via temperature-programmed heating. The results show that the dominant N-containing species (excluding N2) are HCN during temperature-programmed pyrolysis and NO is also detected besides HCN for coals with high oxygen content. No NH3 is detected in all experiments, and N2O is formed in an atmosphere with oxygen. The total fixed nitrogen (TFN) increases firstly and then decreases with increased O2.
