description Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a key technology for capturing CO<sub>2</sub>. Different types of oxygen carrier (OC) particles are used in coal CLC. The migration and transformation behaviors of sulfur and nitrogen are basically the same when CaFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> are used as OC. CLC can be divided into two reaction stages: coal pyrolysis and char gasification; SO<sub>2</sub> and NO show bimodal release characteristics, both of which show a basic trend of rising first and then falling down. The contents of H<sub>2</sub>S and NO<sub>2</sub> increased rapidly at the beginning of the reaction and then decreased slowly at the stage of char gasification. H<sub>2</sub>S is released rapidly during coal pyrolysis and discharged from the reactor with flue gas, and then part of H<sub>2</sub>S is converted to SO<sub>2</sub> during the char gasification stage by OC particles. NO can be oxidized by OC particles and form NO<sub>2</sub>. The increase in the reaction temperature and oxygen-to-carbon ratio (O/C) contributes to the release of sulfur and nitrogen and higher reaction temperature and O/C can inhibit the formation of metal sulfide. O<sub>2</sub> released by CuFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> significantly increases the contents of SO<sub>2</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>S, NO and NO<sub>2</sub> in flue gas. This work is helpful for improving control strategies for pollutants.
