Nitric oxide (NO) reduction by retorted oil shale | 1983-10 | Nitric oxide gas; NO; Retorted oil shale; Nitric oxide reduction; Char | Nitric oxide gas (NO) is effectively reduced by retorted oil shale. At 300°C half of the NO in a gas stream is removed when the gas stream contacts a bed of crushed retorted oil shale for 0.4 s. The fraction removed in 0.4 s reaches 90% at a temperature of 375°C. As long as the reducing agent, pre... |
