Abstract: In the following paper, the kinetics of forming nitrogen oxides and other harmful substances in catalytic power plants are described. First of all, the equilibrium NO_x concentrations are considered. The discrepancy between equilibrium concentrations and real results on NO_x in the case of flame combustion are explained by a short duration of fuel-air mixture stay in furnace space. The positive effect of catalyst in boilers on NO_x formation is shown. The roles of other harmful substances are also discussed. The article contains a model for calculating the optimal temperature in catalytic region and the calculated results.

Keywords: catalytic power plants; fuel combustion; nitrogen oxides; kinetics; NO x formation; harmful substances; equilibrium concentration; flame combustion; catalyst; furnace space; fuel-air mixture stay duration; catalytic region; optimal temperature; catalytic boilers.
