Pyrolysis and combustion tests of imported coal, an indigenous lignite, petcoke, and their 60/30/10 wt.% ternary blends were carried out in air and oxy-fuel conditions by using thermogravimetry analysis-Fourier transform infrared (TGA-FTIR). Pyrolysis results of the blend and its parent fuels show that weight loss profiles display similar trends up to 700 degrees C in both nitrogen and carbon dioxide atmospheres. However, at higher temperatures, further weight loss is observed due to char-CO2 gasification reaction in CO2 atmosphere. Combustion experiments were carried out in air, oxygen-enriched air (30% O-2/70% N-2), oxy-fuel (21% O-2/79% CO2), and oxygen-enriched oxy-fuel environments (30% O-2/70% CO2). Overall comparison of the combustion profiles indicates that the effect of oxygen concentration on combustion characteristics is more significant than that of diluting gas in the combustion environment. Deviations in experimental curves from expected behavior indicate synergy between imported coal, petcoke, and lignite during both pyrolysis and combustion of the ternary blend.

Pyrolysis and Combustion Studies of Fossil Fuels by Thermal Analysis Methods Review Kök, Mustafa Verşan (1995-02-01) Instances where differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis have been applied to study the pyrolysis and combustion behaviour of fossil fuels (peat, lignite, bituminous coals, anthracite, oil shales, crude oils, lignite-oil mixtures, etc.) are reviewed. The literature survey showed that thermal methods were important not only theoretically but also from a practical point of view.
Mathematical modeling of FBC'a co-fired with lignite and biomass Moralı, Ekrem Mehmet; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) Increasing environmental legislations on pollutant emissions originated from fossil fuel combustion and intention of increasing the life of existing fossil fuels give rise to the use of renewable sources. Biomass at this juncture, with its renewable nature and lower pollutant emission levels becomes an attractive energy resource. However, only seasonal availability of biomass and operation problems caused by high alkaline content of biomass ash restrict its combustion alone. These problems can be overcome b...
Gaseous and particulate emissions of a micro gas turbine fuelled by straight vegetable oil-kerosene blends Chiariello, F.; Allouis, Christophe Gerard; Reale, F.; Massoli, P. (2014-07-01) The paper reports the experimental results concerning emissions from 30 kWe commercial micro gas turbine feed with blends of straight vegetable oil with fossil fuel. Both gaseous and particulate emissions were measured at full and partial load for blends 10% v/v and 20% v/v of rapeseed and sunflower oils with JET A1 kerosene. The variations of nitric oxide and carbon monoxide emissions were taken into account to evaluate the combustor behavior at different loads and blends. The effects of the fuel compositi...
Thermal investigation of Seyitomer oil shale Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2001-03-22) This research presents the results of experimental study on the thermal investigation of Seyitomer oil shale sample. Thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to determine the thermal behaviour of the oil shale sample. From the experiments and kinetic analysis, it was observed that Seyitomer oil shale sample have more than one reaction region where the activation energies of the first region are higher. Higher heating rates resulted in higher reaction temperatures both ...
Thermal and geochemical investigation of Seyitomer oil shale Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Hufnagel, Heinz; Sonel, Nurettin (Elsevier BV, 2001-4) The results of an experimental study on the thermal and organic geochemical investigation of Seyitomer oil shale sample are presented. Thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) have been used to determine the thermal behaviour of the oil shale sample. On the other hand, organic carbon content, rock-eval pyrolysis, and gas and liquid chromatography experiments were conducted to determine geochemical properties of the oil shale sample.
