“…[3][4][5] In addition, the traditional reagents such as ammonia and urea are not suitable for SNCR NO x removal from flue gas of lower temperatures and higher O 2 contents, which is occurring widely in practice, for example, the temperature of flue gas exhausted from iron ore sintering bed may not higher than 500 C while its O 2 level could be higher than 10 V/V%, 6 yet its NO x emission is strictly controlled 7 ; another example is the flue gas from incinerators, it often contains more extra O 2 but is of lower temperature than that from coal-fired boilers yet its NO x emission limits become similarly stricter. 8 To meet the emission limitations, 9 selective catalytic reduction De-NO x technology is widely used in a much lower temperature range (250-400 C), [10][11][12] but NO x reduction based on an SNCR process at lower temperatures is more desirable due to its much lower cost and more convenient operation. 13 Hydrazine hydrate (N 2 H 4 ÁH 2 O) is a type of strong reducing agent that is widely used as a rocket propellant, pesticide material, an oxygen scavenger in boiler water, and so forth.…”
