Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved chemical change reagent which is used as an additive to coal to enhance the complete combustion of the coal after turning it into a synthetic fuel. The composition is a chemical change agent in that it converts the coal/composition mix into a different material which, when burned, results in lower NOx emissions. The composition includes a wax, a base for ph adjustment and water and is mixed with the coal prior to combustion.
Claims5
A method of reducing NOx emissions and opacity in the combustion of coal, said method comprising
- providing a NOx reducing agent in the form of a catalyst for burning with said coal, wherein said catalyst has the greatest surface area to mass ratio
- providing a coal for combustion
- adding said NOx reducing agent directly to said coal in a manner so as to evenly disperse the agent on the surface of the coal in the combustion area either before and/or during combustion so as to promote contact with the combustion gases when burned, and
- burning said agent/coal mix in the combustion area to reduce NOx emissions and opacity;
- wherein said NOx reducing agent consists essentially of the following by weight:
- Hydrocarbon waxes
- 0-60%
- Fatty acid
- 0.2-10%
- Ammonia
- 0-3%
- Titanium Dioxide
- 0.5-40%
- Water
- 35-80%.
