Abstract

Processes and compositions enable selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) in the gas phase at temperatures above 950° C. to reduce the environmental damage caused by NOx and related emissions. By utilizing a nitrogenous NOx -reducing agent, such as urea, in combination with a phosphate at a ratio of nitrogen in the NOx -reducing agent to phosphorous of less than about 50:1, NOx reduction is improved and carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and ammonia are maintained at low levels.
