<strong>at</strong>mospheric pressure fluidized bed <strong>at</strong> higher temper<strong>at</strong>ure posts an upper limit<br />

on temper<strong>at</strong>ure range for NO and SO emission control. A preferred oper<strong>at</strong>ing<br />

temper<strong>at</strong>ure range from thisxstandpo?nt appears to be 80Oo-85O0C.<br />

NO reduction by char increases with char loading in <strong>the</strong> bed. With 1 percent <strong>of</strong><br />

char loading in <strong>the</strong> bed, 90 percent or better NO reduction is <strong>at</strong>tainable for<br />

both Char 1 and Char 2 provided th<strong>at</strong> bed temper<strong>at</strong>ure is maintained <strong>at</strong> or above<br />

8OOOC.<br />

Reaction r<strong>at</strong>e cotstants based on <strong>the</strong> present experimental d<strong>at</strong>a show good agreement<br />

with <strong>the</strong> previous investig<strong>at</strong>ions. The r<strong>at</strong>e constant can be represented by<br />

<strong>the</strong> following correl<strong>at</strong>ion:<br />

k = 9.66 x lo8 exp (- 31 AT 700) see-'<br />

Prediction <strong>of</strong> nitric oxide reduction by Char 1 using a two-phase bubble model<br />

gives good agreement with <strong>the</strong> experimental d<strong>at</strong>a within <strong>the</strong> range <strong>of</strong> experi-<br />

mental conditions.<br />
