The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of chemical treatment and heating rate on the emissions released from various waste wood samples including untreated pine and chemically treated MDF, plywood and particleboard after thermal treatment. Emission characteristics of the samples were determined in situ by using their FTIR spectra. Some toxic and carcinogenic gases such as formaldehyde, isocyanate, ammonia and phenyl group were detected in emissions from low temperature combustion of treated samples. For this reason, urea-formaldehyde or melamine formaldehyde treated waste wood samples should be oxidatively pyrolysed at low heating rates and low temperatures to remove nitrogen-containing toxic compounds such as ammonia and isocyanate.

Investigation of combustion kinetics of treated and untreated waste wood samples with thermogravimetric analysis Yorulmaz, Sema Yurdakul; Atımtay, Aysel (2009-07-01) In the present study, combustion mechanisms, thermal kinetics, and phases of combustion were investigated for waste wood samples (untreated pine and treated MDF, plywood and particleboard). Waste wood samples were combusted in air at 10, 20 and 30 degrees C/min heating rates in TGA. The results of TG analysis have shown that thermal decomposition of treated samples takes place at lower temperatures as compared to the untreated pine sample because of the catalyzing effects of the chemicals in the samples. Th...
Investigation of Combustion Kinetics of Five Waste Wood Samples with Thermogravimetric Analysis Yorulmaz, Sema Yurdakul; Atımtay, Aysel (2007-02-24) In the present study, combustion mechanisms, thermal kinetics, and phases of combustion were investigated for untreated pine and treated MDF, plywood and particleboard samples. Waste wood samples were combusted in air at 10, 20 and 30 degrees C/min heating rates in TGA. As a result of TG analysis, thermal decomposition of treated samples was observed at lower temperatures as compared to the untreated pine sample because of the catalyzing effects of the chemicals in the samples. Therefore, there were less fl...
Contribution of nanoclays to the flame retardancy of polyethylene-based cable insulation materials with aluminum hydroxide and zinc borate Kaynak, Cevdet (SAGE Publications, 2014-03-01) The main aim of this study was to investigate contribution of nanoclays to the flame retardancy of two cable insulation materials: low-density polyethylene and its blend with ethylene vinyl acetate. For this purpose, nanoclays were first incorporated alone, then together with traditional flame-retardant aluminum hydroxide, and then together with aluminum hydroxide-zinc borate system. Compounds and nanocomposites were prepared by melt mixing method with a twin-screw extruder, while specimens were shaped by c...
Investigation of alternative biomass fuels and Turkish lignites at high heating rate pyrolysis and combustion conditions Magalhaes, Duarte; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-2-12) The objective of this work was to investigate alternative Turkish fuels fortheir ignition, combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification behavior and to select alternative fuels for co-firing, co-pyrolysis, and co-gasification applications based on low and high heating rate experimental results. Agricultural biomass (olive residue, almond shell, and hazelnut shell)and Turkish lignites (Tunçbilek, and Soma) were chosen as the feedstocks. Severalexperimental rigs used such as thermogravi...
Investigation and scale-up of hot-melt coating of pharmaceuticals in fluidized beds Külah, Görkem (Elsevier BV, 2011-03-10) This study was performed to investigate and scale-up the hot-melt coating process in fluidized beds. A series of well-designed experiments was carried out in a pilot scale unit with 20 kg product capacity to investigate the effects of process variables on the efficiency of the coating of Cefuroxime Axetil with stearic acid. Results showed that the efficiency is at the highest when the fluidization air flow rate is adjusted by considering the changes in the amount of materials present in the unit as well as ...
