Two Chinese coals were used to prepare chars in a flat flame flow reactor which can simulate the temperature and gas composition of a real pulverized coal combustion environment. Acid treatment on the YB and SH chars was applied to obtain demineralized chars. Kinetic characterization of NO-char reaction was performed by isothermal thermogravimetry in the temperature range of 973-1,573 K. Presence of catalytic metal matter can increase the reactivity of chars with NO, which indicates that the catalytic effects of inherent mineral matter play a significant role in the NO-char reaction. The discrete random pore model was applied to describe the NO-char reactions and obtain the intrinsic kinetics. The model can predict the data for all the chars at various temperatures well, but underestimate the reaction rates at high carbon conversions for the raw YB and SH chars, which can be attributed to the accumulation of metal catalyst on char surface.
