1. Circulating fluidized bed boilers face sever challenges in China due to the new ultra-low emission rules. In this paper, NOx evolution inside CFB furnaces and the gas-solid flow characteristics are reviewed, and a low NOx emission (de-NOx) technology is proposed based on the idea of re-specification of the fluidization state.
