1.1.1.1. A mechanism of nitrogen oxide emission formation and standards

Kotler V.R., Open JSC “VTI”

Nitrogen oxides NO_х (NO + NO₂) are produced as a result of combustion of all types of organic fuels in the boilers of TPPs. Nitrogen from air and nitrogen-containing components of the organic fuel mass are sources of nitrogen oxides.

Thermal NO_х (mechanism of Zeldovich) and fast NO_x (mechanism of Fenimore) are formed from air nitrogen. Fuel NO_x are formed from nitrogen of the fuel (coal, oil) associated with organic mass.
