Abstract

The pyrolysis of pyridine as coal model compound has been studied on pipe-still heater over a temperature range of 200°C to 1000°C in order to understand further the transition of nitrogen in coal to nitrogen oxides in the process of coal combustion and exploiting new technology against nitrogen oxides pollution resulting from coal combustion. The results showed that the soot generated in coal combustion is a key factor to influence the transition of pyridine-N to NOx and the pyridine-N is the final type of annular nitrogen compound before NO formation from fuel nitrogen in coal.
