The gas-solid flow characteristics and fuel NOxformation mechanisms in a novel full-scale Dual Circulating Fluidized Bed (DCFB) was numerically studied. The DCFB was comprised of a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) at reducing temperature for the release of fuel-N and a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) for combustion of the residue char. A dense discrete phase model coupled with kinetic theory of granular flow (DDPM-KTGF) model was used to determine the gas-solid flow characteristics of the DCFB, and a one-dimensional chemical reaction network (1D-CRN) with detailed chemical reaction mechanisms was used for understanding its NOxformation mechanisms. Results showed that bed particles in the CFB dense phase of DCFB were well-mixed and showed a typical “ring-core” structure in the dilute phase, proving good fluidization quality of bed materials. Meanwhile, circulation ash in BFB with sizes lager than 0.1 mm would pass through the designed overflow port, allowing mass flow from BFB to CFB. Investigation into NOxformation revealed that reactions such as R398, R1-N-1, R569, and R17 associating with O/O2and volatile N would promote NOxformation in DCFB, whereas reactions mainly R411, R570, R571, R5, and R6 associating with NH2, soot, and char inhibited NOxformation. The overall NOxemission at the furnace outlet of DCFB was calculated to be 97.29 mg/Nm3, which was 56.66% lower than that in traditional CFB with the same configuration. Consequently, the novel DCFB design that separating fuel-N release and char combustion provides an alternative means for manipulating NOxemission during CFB combustion.
