Abstract
Sintering accounts for about 50% of the total NOx emissions of the iron and steel industry. NOx emissions from the sintering process can be simulated using the emissions from coke combustion. However, the generation and emission law for NOx burning in the sintering process of pulverized coal is still not clear. The formation characteristics of NOx during coal combustion catalyzed by iron ore fines and several iron-containing pure minerals were studied in this paper. The results showed that iron ore fines can improve the NOx emission rate and increase the total NOx emissions during coal combustion. The type and composition of the iron ore fines have an important impact on the generation and emission of NOx in the process of coal combustion. The peak concentration and emissions of NOx in coal combustion flue gas with limonite, hematite or specularite added increased significantly. The peak value for the NOx concentration in the coal combustion flue gas with magnetite or siderite added increased, but the emissions decreased. Therefore, the generation of NOx in the sintering process can to a certain extent be controlled by adjusting the type of iron-containing raw materials and the distribution of the iron-containing raw materials and coal.
