Abstract
In response to the national "dual carbon" policy
so as to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants
the co-combustion of coal and ammonia has received widespread attention. Based on molecular dynamic simulation
researches were conducted on the changes in the types and quantities of coal-ammonia pre-pyrolysis products at different temperatures
and the migration pathways of nitrogen element during pre-pyrolysis and combustion processes
so as to obtain the influence mec
hanism of pre-pyrolysis temperature on NO
x
emissions. Results show that
the increase of pre-pyrolysis temperature leads to the decrease of NO
x
emissions during combustion. Due to the increased temperature can enhance the interactions between coal and ammonia during pre-pyrolysis
the production of CN and HCN increases with the increase of pre-pyrolysis temperature
and the conversion of hydrogen atoms in coal into H
2
is promoted by the interactions between coal and ammonia. Meanwhile
the increase of pre-pyrolysis temperature can promote the pyrolysis of NH
3
to produce N
2
reducing the nitrogen sources available for NO
x
formation. The reduction in NH
3
content decreases the generation of HNO
thereby lowering NO
x
emissions. Additionally
the increase of pre-pyrolysis temperature can promote the production of H
2
. The presence of H
2
on the one hand
can consume a large amount of O
2
reducing the formation of NO
x
during combustion
on the other hand
can accelerate the conversion of HNO to N
2
thus reducing the generation of NO from HNO decomposition.
