Nitrous oxide (N2O) volume fractions in atmosphere increaseat an estimated rate 0.7-0.8 ppb per year. Combustion of so-lid fuels and waste at lower temperatures (750-900°C) presentsa significant source of N2O. During stages of a coal particlecombustion (pyrolysis-devolatilization and char combustion)both volatile N and char N are mainly transformed to N2 + NOand partly to N2O. HCN was recognized as the main precursorof N2O in volatile combustion. Char-N conversion to N2O(through various mechanisms) is affected by in situ reduc-tion of N2O by carbon surface and CO.
