Combustion and oxy-fuel combustion characteristics of two Turkish lignites (Orhaneli and Soma) were investigated by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) method. Experiments were carried out under oxygen-enriched air and oxy-fuel combustion conditions with 21, 30, 40% oxygen concentrations. Three heating rates of 5, 10, and 20 degrees C/min were considered and the isoconversional kinetic methods of FWO, KAS, and Friedman were employed to estimate activation energies. The uncertainty assessment in obtaining the activation energy values was also considered. The obtained results indicated that the combustion of volatiles at both air and oxy-fuel conditions were approximately identical. However, at air combustion conditions, the decomposition of CaCO3 took place at temperatures above 700 degrees C. This decomposition process was independent of the oxygen concentration and took place when the temperature reached to a certain threshold. The decomposition of CaCO3 did not accomplish in oxy-fuel conditions as far as the temperature was higher than 900 degrees C. Combustion in oxy-fuel conditions had higher activation energy values comparing to conventional combustion atmosphere. The activation energy values were approximately unchanged at the start of combustion regardless of oxygen concentration or combustion atmosphere at about 165 kJ/mol and 150 kJfmol for Orhaneli and Soma lignites, respectively. The apparent activation energies were higher at elevated oxygen concentrations. The uncertainties values related to FWO method were lower than KAS and Friedman methods. The calculated average uncertainty values were found to be at the range of 5-15% for most of the cases. (C) 2018 Energy Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Combustion of Turkish lignites and olive residue: Experiments and kinetic modelling Magalhaes, Duarte; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Riaza, Juan; Erensoy, Sevgi; Kabakli, Ozde; Chalmers, Hannah (2017-09-01) This study investigated the combustion behavior and kinetics of Turkish fuels. Two lignite coals from Tuncbilek and Soma region, and olive residue, were used, all within a size range of 106-125 mm. Experiments were performed in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) coupled with a differential thermal analyzer (DTA), under three different heating rates, namely 15, 20, and 40 degrees C/min. Based on the weight loss (TG) and derivative weight loss (DTG) curves, the characteristic temperatures were determined, thr...
Combustion behaviour of Turkish lignite in O-2/N-2 and O-2/CO2 mixtures by using TGA-FTIR Selçuk, Nevin (2011-03-01) The pyrolysis and combustion behaviour of a low calorific value Turkish lignite with high sulphur and ash content in air and oxy-fuel conditions were investigated by using non-isothermal thermo-gravimetric method (TGA) coupled with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Pyrolysis tests were carried out in nitrogen and carbon dioxide environments which are the main diluting gases of air and oxy-fuel environment, respectively. Pyrolysis results show that weight loss profiles are almost the same up to...
TGA and kinetic study of different torrefaction conditions of wood biomass under air and oxy-fuel combustion atmospheres Barzegar, Ramin; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet; OLGUN, HAYATİ; Atımtay, Aysel (2020-06-01) Combustion and oxy-fuel combustion characteristics of torrefied pine wood chips were investigated by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Three torrefaction temperatures (250, 300, and 350 degrees C) and two residence times (15 and 30 min) were considered. Experiments were carried out at three heating rates of 10, 20, and 40 degrees C/min. The isoconversional kinetic methods of FWO, KAS, and Friedman were employed to estimate the activation energies. The assessment of uncertainty in obtaining the activation en...
Combustion characteristics of crude oil-limestone mixtures: High pressure thermogravimetric analysis and their relevance to in-situ combustion Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Price, D. (1997-12-01) High pressure thermogravimetric analysis (HPTG) was used in order to study the oxidation of crude oil in a porous medium under pressurised conditions for simulation of in-situ combustion during oil recovery. Three distinct reaction regions were observed from the HPTG curves in an oxidising environment subjected to a constant heating rate. These were low temperature oxidation, fuel deposition and high temperature oxidation. The method of Coats and Redfern was used to obtain kinetic parameters and the results...
Combustion reaction kinetics studies of Turkish crude oils Bagci Suat, S.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2004-09-01) In this research, sixteen experiments were conducted to study the combustion reaction kinetics of Turkish crude oils (Bati Raman, Camurlu, Raman, Adlyaman, Garzan, Karakus and Beykan) in a limestone medium. A mixture of the limestone and the crude oil was subjected to a controlled heating program under a constant flow rate of air. The produced gas was analyzed for its oxygen and carbon oxides contents. Although the molar CO2/CO ratios vary during low-temperature oxidation (LTO), for fuel deposition (FD) and...
