abstract = {A laboratory study of the hybrid reburning/SNCR technique has been performed under flow reactor conditions. This technique involves the use of a selective reducing agent in the presence of combustibles (mainly CO) arising from the reburning zone. The impact of CO and O2 concentrations, NH3/NO ratio, as well as the presence of HCN has been investigated as a function of the temperature in the range 700-1300 K. The results show that CO in concentrations typical of the rich/lean transition in reburning shift the regime for NO reduction in the SNCR process to temperatures below 1000 K and cause a narrowing of the temperature window. The NO reduction potential is largely unaffected compared to conditions with low CO, and the effect varying the O2 concentration in the range 0.5-4.0% as well as of adding of HCN is found to be insignificant. Synergistic effects between reburning and SNCR are only observed in a narrow range of operating conditions with very low concentrations of CO and O2. Model predictions using a detailed reaction mechanism generally compare favorably with the experimental results. The present results indicate that a reduction of the CO level from the reburn zone is required before the SNCR chemistry is initiated. This can be obtained either by staging the burnout air or by injecting the N-agent in an aqueous solution to delay reaction.},

abstract = {Various kinds of catalysts are being developed and tested for the pyrolytic gasification of biomass using the Waterloo Fast Pyrolysis Process (WFPP) technology. The present report describes gasification tests with wood in a continuous bench scale fluidized bed reactor but with no added air or oxygen in the region of 500–700 °C and at short gas contact times, using a crystalline nickel aluminate catalyst. The objective was to determine the most appropriate operating conditions for this catalyst and its performance for the production of a synthesis gas in high yields. Experiments were carried out with this catalyst in both inert and reactive gasification media, but without any oxygen or air addition. The results show the influence of the catalyst on the nature of the gasification products and the effect of operating variables. Gas compositions are given for typical WFPP operating conditions. Evidence is presented which indicates that the gasification mechanism is a fast thermal pyrolysis followed by catalytic reforming of the vapors with a high yield of synthesis gas. textcopyright 1994, American Chemical Society.
