Abstract
Results were obtained for burnt fraction, NOx and CO emission. Pure TXL produced 1505Â ppm of CO at an equivalence ratio of 1.1. An 80:20 blend of TXL:LA-PC-SepSol-DB produced 4084Â ppm of CO at the same equivalence ratio. The NOx emissions for equivalence ratio varying from 0.9 to 1.2 ranged from 0.4 to 0.13Â kg/GJ for pure TXL coal. The corresponding NOx emissions are 0.8-0.10Â kg/GJ for pure WYO coal. For 80:20 TXL:LA-SepS-DB blend they ranged from 0.375 to 0.05Â kg/GJ over the same range. In general, the blends produced less NOx than pure coal under rich conditions even though the DB contained more nitrogen. This result is probably due to the fuel bound nitrogen in dairy biomass is mostly in the form of urea which reduces NOx to N2.
