A Study of Nitrous Oxide Decomposition over Calcium Oxide
A study of N2O decomposition reaction in a fixed bed a reactor over bed of CaO particles has been conducted. Effects of parameters such as concentration of inlet N2O gas, reacting temperature and content of CO2/CO gas present in the reacting materials on the decomposition reaction have been investigated. The results showed that the conversion of N2O decomposition was accelerated by the increase of reaction temperature, and the existence of CO, while the rate was hindered by the existence of CO2. Heterogeneous gas solid reaction kinetics was proposed for N2O decomposition and compared with homogeneous reaction kinetics.
