Abstract: A method is illustrated and described for reducing unwanted substances by injecting a reactant into a flue gas of a steam generator. In order that the reactant can also be used in larger steam generators and/or combustion chambers, a method is proposed, in which the reactant is injected into the combustion chamber of the steam generator via a reactant opening of a multi-component nozzle, in which an enveloping medium is injected into the combustion chamber through at least one enveloping medium opening arranged outside the reactant opening, and in which the enveloping medium at least partly envelops the reactant in the combustion chamber and in this way at least partly shields the reactant from the flue gas.

Abstract: A burner for powdered and/or particulate fuels having a flow channel for transporting at least one gas stream into a combustion chamber, wherein the flow channel has an annular cross section and a swirl device imparting a swirl to the gas stream in a circumferential direction. The swirl device has at least a first and a second group of deflection means to generate the swirl, that at least the second group of deflection means is attached in a fixed manner to supporting structure that is axially displaceable along the flow channel and/or can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the flow channel in order to alter the swirl.
