Abstract
A method of combustion of pulverized coal in two stages of combustion to reduce the amount of NOx produced by combustion. In a first stage, exhaust gas is added to air for combustion in a proportion of 35-60% of the air necessary for carrying out combustion. In a second stage, air for combustion is supplied in a proportion of 25-35% of the air necessary for carrying out combustion. In this method of combustion, the pulverized coal is combusted slowly at low temperature with the formation of a flame of low brightness to produce in large amounts activated intermediate components responsible for denitration reaction to promote reduction of produced NOx, and the concentration of CO produced can be reduced by abstaining from using the minimum air necessary for combustion.
