Résumé : The combustion of solid fuels in the rotary kiln and in the calciner of a cement plant generates fuel and thermal NO. This NO can be reduced inside the reducing zone of the calciner. This occurs in two different ways: homogeneous reduction by hydrocarbons and heterogeneous reduction by char. The purpose of this paper is to identify the relative contribution of volatile matters or char on the NO reduction process, which largely depends on the nature of the solid fuel used for reburning. Experiments were undertaken in an Entrained Flow Reactor (EFR), at three temperatures: 800, 900 and 1000 _C. Four major fuels used in the cement production process were studied: a lignite, a coal, an anthracite and a petcoke. Specific experiments were undertaken to determine (i) their devolatilisation kinetics and the gas species released. A wide range of species influencing the NO chemistry was carefully analyzed. Then, (ii) the char oxidation and (iii) the char NO reduction kinetics were characterized. Finally, (iv), the ''global'' NO reduction capability of each fuel was quantified through experiments during which all phenomena could occur together. This corresponds to the situation of an industrial reactor in reducing conditions. Anthracite and petcoke reduce only very small quantities of NO whereas lignite and coal reduce, respectively, 90% and 80% of the initially present 880 ppm of NO (at 1000 _C after 2 s). The four types of experiments described above were then modeled using a single particle thermo-chemical model that includes heterogeneous reactions and detailed chemistry in the gas phase. This model reveals that both NO reduction on char and NO reduction by volatiles mechanisms contribute significantly to the global NO reduction. After short residence times (several tenth of a second), gas phase reactions reduce NO efficiently; after long residence times (several seconds) the char reduces larger quantities of NO.
