Results In order to arrive at universally valid statements on how the NO, emissions from cement kiln plants can be cut by non-catalytic NO reduction through the addition of NH3, 1 trials were performed on 3 kiln plants with cyclone preheaters and 2 kiln plants with grate preheaters With an NH3/N0 molar ratio of 1, some 1 to 7% of the NO mass flow in the kiln exhaust gas was degraded The level of NO degradation mainly depended on the reaction temperature at the oint of addition, which was fre uently defined within very narrow limits by the design of the Filn plant It could only be sligh% influenced in the case of kiln plants with cyclone pre- 1 heaters by means of appropriate selection of the point of addition for the NH, water. However, the CO concentration occasionally increased considerably with this pe of plant due to the high OH radical requirement of the degradation reaction when the riln was operated with dispersible fuel in the secondary furnace for precalcining. NH, loss occurred if the reaction temperatures were below about 9 'Cor the NO concentra- tions and, thus, the NH3/N0 molar ratio fluctuated intensel The extent to which such fluctua- tions can
