The ability to accurately model NO{sub x} formation from coal combustion requires an understanding of the mechanisms of volatile-N and char-N oxidation and reduction. This study has focused on NO{sub x} formation from the char-N fraction of coal since much less is known about the fate of char-N than that of volatile-N. As stated in earlier reports, chars from five different coals were collected for this study. These chars were subsequently burned in a simulated coal flame (see report for quarter ending 12/95) under a variety of conditions. The experimental phase of the study is now complete and key results are included in this report
