Coal is the energy resource which is important with the new remarking energy resource. Coal combustion produces more NOx per unit of energy than any other major combustion technology. Pollutant emission associated with coal combustion will have a huge impact on the environment. Coal conversion has three processes which are drying, coal devolatilization and char oxidation. Coal devolatilization process is important because it has been shown that HCN which is converted from volatile N contributes 60 to 80% of the total NOx produced. This paper addresses mass release behavior of char, tar, gas and HCN in an experiment of Laminar Flow Reactor with two coals such as Roto middle coal (Sub-bituminous) and Anglo coal (Bituminous). The experiment is compared with the data predicted by CPD model for mass release of HCN about Roto south, Indominco, Weris creek and China orch coals. The results show that HCN increases as a function of decreasing the ratio of fixed carbon(FC)/ volatile matter(VM of the coals contain.)
