Abstract
For modeling the formation of nitrogen oxides in combustion via both the prompt-NO and the fuel-NO mechanisms, as well as for modeling the reduction of nitrogen oxides via reburning, a good knowledge of the kinetics of oxidation of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is required. The formation routes to HCN and the thermochemistry of HCN-related species are reviewed. The available kinetic data for the oxidation of HCN are presented and a comprehensive detailed chemical kinetic reaction mechanism for the oxidation of HCN is proposed and discussed.
