ABSTRACT
This paper studies nitrogen oxide reduction by means of ammonia in a flow reactor with a fixed bed of the Polish carbon sorbent AKP-5. The kinetic curves (t), showing the dependence of the degree of reduction of nitrogen oxide on time have been determined for four inlet NO concentrations. On the basis of the degree of NO reduction determined for the steady state conditions, a simplified model of the kinetic equation has been developed and verified. The results obtained are very important for environmental protection.
