Combustion, pyrolysis and hydropyrolysis reactivity of Tuncbilek lignite was monitored by temperature programmed pyrolysis (TPP) under pure nitrogen flow, temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) under air flow and temperature programmed hydrogenation (TPH) under hydrogen flow at atmospheric pressure in a packed bed reactor. The structures of the organic and inorganic components were analyzed by NMR spectroscopy and XRD. Only methane and hydrogen were the main products of TPP while small amounts of CO and CO2 were also observed. Solid-state H-1 and C-13 CPMAS and 1H liquid Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy of the pristine lignite, as well as tar and char products of pyrolysis and hydrogenation (hydropyrolysis), revealed similar tar compositions. TGA of pyrolysis chars indicated that there were more residual volatiles in hydropyrolysis char in comparison to pyrolysis char. Elemental analysis of pyrolysis and hydropyrolysis chars revealed that 25% of sulfur was lost during pyrolysis, whereas >90% of sulfur was lost during hydropyrolysis indicating efficiency of atmospheric pressure hydropyrolysis for both desulfurization and tar production. Volatile matter and fixed carbon, mostly aromatic, gave rise to distinct oxidation peaks during TPO. The oxidation peak due to volatiles was missing from TPO of pyrolysis char as well as from organic contents determined by NMR spectroscopy.

Calculation of the Thermodynamic Quantities for Cubic Gauche Nitrogen (cg-N) Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Akay, O. (2022-01-01) This work aims to investigate the thermodynamic properties of the cubic gauge nitrogen (cg-N) by calculating the relevant thermodynamic quantities as a functions of temperature and pressure. The thermodynamic quantities of volume (V), thermal expansion (alpha p), isothermal compressibility (kappa T), bulk modulus(B), and the heat capacity (Cp) are calculated as a function of temperature at constants pressures (0, 35, 125, 250 GPa) for the cg-N structure. Also, the pressure dependences of V, kappa T, alpha p...
Thermal characterization and model-free kinetics of biodiesel sample Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2015-11-01) In this study, combustion and pyrolysis behaviours of methanol route biodiesel were investigated using thermal analysis techniques known as simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different heating rates. Reaction regions, peak temperatures, mass loss and heat flow rates of the biodiesel sample are determined using TG-DTG and DSC data. It was found that as the heating rate of the reactions increased, peak temperatures of the reactions shifted higher temperatures, implyin...
Recent developments in the application of thermal analysis techniques in fossil fuels Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2008-03-01) In this review, application of thermal analysis techniques (differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, etc.) for fossil fuel characterization and kinetics are reviewed between 2001 and 2006. The results presented clearly showed that thermal analysis applications are well-established techniques used in fossil fuel research area.
Dynamic simulation of fluidized bed combustors and its validation against measurements Selçuk, Nevin; Degirmenci, E (2001-01-01) A dynamic mathematical model of a continuous atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed combustor (ABFBC) has been developed on the basis of first principles and used to correlate data from a pilot-scale combustor, The model accounts for bed and freeboard hydrodynamics, volatiles release and combustion, char particles combustion and their size distribution, and heat transfer. The solution procedure of dynamic model employs method of lines (MOL) approach for the solution of the governing nonlinear partial differenti...
Ultra-fast charge exchange spectroscopy for turbulent ion temperature fluctuation measurements on the DIII-D tokamak (invited) Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; McKee, G. R. (2012-10-01) A novel two-channel, high throughput, high efficiency spectrometer system has been developed to measure impurity ion temperature and toroidal velocity fluctuations associated with long-wavelength turbulence and other plasma instabilities. The spectrometer observes the emission of the n = 8-7 hydrogenic transition of C+5 ions (lambda(air) = 529.06 nm) resulting from charge exchange reactions between deuterium heating beams and intrinsic carbon. Novel features include a large, prism-coupled high-dispersion, v...
