The circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology has been rapidly developed as a clean fuel combustion method, but faces high N2O emissions. Research focus has shifted towards N2O decomposition and removal technologies due to strict pollution control standards. Noble metals and molecular sieves show promising activity at low temperatures, while metal oxide catalytic technology, especially oxygen carrier-aided combustion (OCAC), is considered the ideal method for N2O removal in CFB boilers.
As a clean fuel combustion technology, the circulating fluidized bed (CFB) has been developed rapidly in recent years, but one of its disadvantages is high N2O emissions. With the implementation of increasingly strict pollution control standards, N2O decomposition and removal technologies have become the main focus of current research. This paper reviews the latest research on noble metals, metal oxides, the molecular sieve and other new catalysts and decomposition methods for N2O removal. The research methods and functions of catalysts are compared and the existing problems are summarized. The future directions of development in N2O decomposition and removal are considered. Noble metals and the molecular sieve show satisfactory activity at relatively low temperatures, but their catalytic efficiency is obviously hindered by O-2, NO and H2O. In addition, high costs and insufficient thermal stability limit their widespread industrial application. The metal oxide catalytic technology, especially oxygen carrier-aided combustion (OCAC), is expected to be the ideal method for N2O removal in CFB boilers due to its stability and economical feasibility.
