Fundamentals of Nitric Oxide Formation in Fossil Fuel Combustion. Progress Report, 29 September 1978-28 March 1979

摘要

A series of preliminary experiments were conducted to determine the conditions underwhich NO would be formed during the oxidation of pyridine, acetonitrile and vinyl cyanide. These led to the conclusion that no NO was formed under fuel rich conditions, although some oxygen was not consumed. In addition, it was concluded that the oxidizing properties of HCN could not be predicted from those of organic nitriles, thus, requiring the study of HCN oxidation directly. (ERA citation 04:054097)
