The RAPRENO, process for NO reduction in combustion products involves reaction of nitric oxide with isocyanic acid. We have developed a mechanism for the gas-phase reaction of isocyanic acid with nitric oxide in the presence of various amounts of 0 2 , H20, and CO. Kinetics calculations using the mechanism are compared with the experimental data of Siebers and Caton, and the model reproduces all trends of these data. Sensitivity and rate-of-production analyses show that the reactions of HNCO with OH, 0, and H play a major role in the NOremoval process and that NO removal occurs primarily by reaction of NO with NCO to form NzO, which subsequently reacts slowly to form NP. The overall reaction is critically dependent on production of radicals. When 02, H20, and CO are present, the radicals are supplied by the moist-CO chain branching sequence. When any of these species is absent, radicals must be supplied by other reactions, principally the NzO decomposition reaction and the reaction of the NH, radical with NO.
