A comprehensive system model, previously developed for prediction of combustion behaviors of Turkish lignites, lignite/hazelnut shell, and lignite/olive residue blends in a 0.3-MW t  atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed combustor (ABFBC), is extended for modeling of co-combustion of Turkish lignite and cotton residue. Cotton residue has high nitrogen content (~4.1 wt% ar) unlike lignite (~0.9 wt% ar), olive residue (~1.6 wt% ar), and hazelnut shell (~0.5 wt% ar), which leads to relatively high emissions of nitric oxides (NOx) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). For accurate prediction of emissions of NO and N 2 O, a sufficiently detailed NO and N 2 O formation and reduction reaction scheme is incorporated into the existing model. The assessment of the accuracy of the model is tested by comparing its predictions with the experimental data obtained in a 0.3-MW t  ABFBC where a typical Turkish lignite is co-fired with limestone and cotton residue. Reasonable agreement is obtained between the predicted and measured O 2 , CO, CO 2 , SO 2 , NO, and N 2 O concentrations and temperature profiles. The results obtained in this study show that the addition of cotton residue increases emission of total nitrogenous species due to its high nitrogen content, but the main effect is observed in the increase of N 2 O formation. Furthermore, determination of the fuel nitrogen partitioning into char and volatiles and distribution of volatile nitrogen species are found to be the most important parameters for modeling of NO and N 2 O emissions in bubbling fluidized bed combustors.
