Coniine, a toxic substance isolated from poison hemlock, contains only carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Combustion analysis of a 5.024 mg sample yields 13.90 mg of C02 and 6.048 mg of H20. What is the empirical formula of coniine ... 

Protein Determine the percent of nitrogen as directed under Nitrogen Determination, Appendix IIIC, or by the Protein Nitrogen Combustion Method, AOAC 992.23 or AOCS Ba 4e-93. The percent protein equals percent N x 6.25 and is calculated to exclude added vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and food additives.

As Table I indicates, almost half of the total national NOa emissions result from stationary fuel combustion. In principle, NOa emissions from fossil fuel-combustion systems can be reduced by three methods fuel cleaning (removal of the fuel nitrogen), combustion modification, and flue gas treatment. Combustion modification appears to be by far the easiest and most economical of the three. Therefore, EPA has assigned to the Control Systems Divisions, Combustion Research Section (CRS) the responsibility for assisting industry in developing technology to re-... 

Nitrogen Combustion - Method 3 (Used for all Forms of Nitrogen)... 

Nitrogen in combustion is of significant technological interest due to NO formation and destruction. The impact of nitrogen compounds emitted from combustion sources on the environment has motivated an extensive research activity in this field. Mechanisms and models for nitrogen combustion are given in [1]. 

Utility systems as sources of waste. The principal sources of utility waste are associated with hot utilities (including cogeneration systems) and cold utilities. Furnaces, steam boilers, gas turbines, and diesel engines all produce waste from products of combustion. The principal problem here is the emission of carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, and particulates (metal oxides, unbumt... 

Fuel-bound NO. is formed at low as well as high temperatures. However, part of the fuel nitrogen is directly reacted to N2. Moreover, N2O and N2O4 are also formed in various reactions and add to the complexity of the formation. It is virtually impossible to calculate a precise value for the NO, emitted by a real combustion device. NO, emissions depend not only on the type of combustion technology but also on its size and the type of fuel used. 

The refining industry generally seeks either to eliminate asphaltenes or to convert them to lighter materials because the presence of heteroelements cause pollution problems, e.g., sulfur and nitrogen, catalyst poisoning, and corrosion (formation of metal vanadates during combustion). 

The sample is pyrolyzed in an 80/20 mixture of oxygen and nitrogen at from 1050 to 1100°C the combustion gases are analyzed by iodine titration or by UV fluorescence. Up to 20% of the sulfur can escape analysis, however. 

Ozone, known for its beneficial role as a protective screen against ultraviolet radiation in the stratosphere, is a major pollutant at low altitudes (from 0 to 2000 m) affecting plants, animals and human beings. Ozone can be formed by a succession of photochemical reactions that preferentially involve hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides emitted by the different combustion systems such as engines and furnaces. 

A conclusion is that meeting the regulations for NO emissions in industrial combustion practically implies a limit in the nitrogen content of fuel of 3000 ppm. 

This justifies all the work undertaken to arrive at fuel denitrification which, as is well known, is difficult and costly. Moreover, technological improvements can bring considerable progress to this field. That is the case with low NO burners developed at IFF. These consist of producing separated flame jets that enable lower combustion temperatures, local oxygen concentrations to be less high and a lowered fuel s nitrogen contribution to NOj. formation. In a well defined industrial installation, the burner said to be of the low NO type can attain a level of 350 mg/Nm, instead of the 600 mg/Nm with a conventional burner.
