Three main closing-to-wall air arrangement modes (front and rear wall arrangement, side wall arrangement and whole wall combination arrangement) of opposed firing boiler were taken as the research object. With the using of numerical simulation, the changes of air atmosphere at the side wall areas, NOx emission concentration and un-burned carbon mass fraction under three different arrangement modes were analyzed. Results show that although these three arrangement modes can increase the O2 volume fraction in the near wall area, reduce the H2S and CO volume fraction and the content of unburned carbon, there exists great differences in the coverage areas. With the same volumes of closing-to-wall air, the coverage areas with oxygen content greater than 2.0% in the near wall area can account for 83.84% of the side wall of the boiler for the whole wall combination arrangement mode, which is higher than the other two arrangement modes (61.38% and 68.80%). With the application of the whole wall combination closing-to-wall air system, the average O2 concentration increases from 0.25% to more than 2.5%, the average concentration of H2S is reduced by 70%, the average volume fraction of CO is reduced by 65%. No significant change is observed for the boiler thermal efficiency, cooling water amount of superheater and reheater, NOx concentration at SCR inlet and carbon content of fly ash.
