The potentialities of two different theoretical approaches to model the nitric oxide abatement in a noncatalytic reduction process with mixing limitations have been investigated. The first system involves a detailed description of the chemical kinetics together with a simplified reactor model to describe its fluid dynamic behavior. In the second approach, an empirical kinetic model coupled to a rigorous modeling of the fluid dynamics through a computational fluid dynamic code has been used. The reliability of both theoretical procedures has been checked by comparison with experimental results previously presented in the literature and referring to the thermal DeNO_x process.
