Catalytic Effect of Biomass Ash on CO, CH sub(4) and HCN Oxidation Under Fluidised Bed Combustor Conditions

The effect of different ashes from peat, spruce wood, and bituminous coal on methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen cyanide was studied in a fluidized bed combustor. The different ashes exerted strong catalytic activity for the oxidation of these species. Selectivity toward nitric oxide was strong i...

Description
Summary:The effect of different ashes from peat, spruce wood, and bituminous coal on methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen cyanide was studied in a fluidized bed combustor. The different ashes exerted strong catalytic activity for the oxidation of these species. Selectivity toward nitric oxide was strong in hydrogen cyanide oxidation; very little nitrous oxide was formed. Heterogeneously catalyzed CO oxidation rate exceeded the homogeneous CO oxidation rate for relatively low spruce wood ash concentrations.
