Meeting the energy demands of the future is one of the most important challenges facing the engineering community today. An example of this problem is transportation fuels. Most of the current transportation fuels are composed of petroleum hydrocarbons. Finding a viable alternative is important given the potential scarcity of these...
Nitrogen evolution during black liquor pyrolysis and black liquor combustion were studied using a laminar entrained-flow reactor. The experimental conditions were 700-1100°C and 0.3-2.2 seconds residence time. The pyrolysis experiments were performed in a pure nitrogen atmosphere. The oxygen concentrations during the combustion of black liquor experiments were 4 and...
The importance of two sources of NO formation, nitrogen in combustion air
and nitrogen in the fuel, during black liquor combustion was studied using a laminar
entrained flow reactor. Pyrolysis and combustion experiments were conducted in
nitrogen atmosphere and in a mixture of argon and helium in the composition 99%...
