Description
Summary:Urea pyrolysis, from which the denitration reactant ammonia is produced, plays an important role in the urea-based NOx removal process. Research into urea pyrolysis is mostly focused on three parts: urea pyrolysis pathway, catalytic hydrolysis of HNCO, and catalytic pyrolysis of aqueous urea solution. In this paper, detailed overview on research progress of urea pyrolysis was conducted. From the review, it could be concluded that although much research has been carried out, concentration was mainly in analysis of urea pyrolysis products and exploration of catalysts used to improve ammonia yields. Little work has been done on mechanism study and development of a kinetic model with high accuracy, which are still in great need nowadays.
