Abstract

The selective reduction of NO by NH 3 addition has been studied in a lean-burning oil-fired laboratory combustion tunnel with pyridine and thiophene added to the fuel oil. Two distinct but interrelated effects were observed. The conversion of a fixed amount of fuel nitrogen to NO in the flame increased as the thiophene concentration increased. In the postcombustion gases, there was a shift in the temperature dependence of the reduction process when the sulfur combustion products were present. The extent of the NO reduction was not significantly altered, but the optimal temperature for reduction shifted to higher values as the thiophene concentration increased.
