Experiments were conducted in a drop-tube furnace (DTF) to investigate NO emission characteristics of low-rank bituminous coal burning in the primary combustion zone. The combustion tests were performed under high-stoichiometric-ratio (SR) combustion conditions (SR g 1) and low-SR combustion conditions (SR
