Abstract
The general NOx chemistry for combustion and reburning (burning under reduc ing conditions) in calciners is presented and compared to measurements perf ormed on a full scale ILC-lowNO(x) calciner. The strong influence of the te mperature (by splitting the material) in the reduction zone, the amount of coal fed to the reduction zone, and the amount of rotary kiln NOx on the re sulting preheater exit NOx are demonstrated. It is shown that the ILC-lowNO (x) kiln system is able to operate with an extremely low NOx emission of le ss than 400 mg/m(N)(3) at 10% oxygen.
