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, three different conversion stages were identified, and a combustibility index was calculated for the major stage of combustion. In addition, combustion kinetics parameters of each fuel were determined using the Coats-Redfern method. Experimental results revealed that all three fuels went through a decomposition stage followed by the combustion stage(s). Tuncbilek and Soma lignite had one major combustion stage at an approximate peak temperature of 500 degrees C, while olive residue had two distinct stages for combustion at peak temperatures of 290 degrees C and 423 degrees C. Burnout temperatures of olive residue were always lower than either of the lignites, and an increase in heating rate from 20 to 40 degrees C/min shifted the burnout to higher temperatures. Combustibility index of lignites was similar at low heating rates, whereas at higher heating rates the combustibility of Tuncbilek was approximately twice that of Soma lignite. Olive residue presented values of combustibility which were at least fivefold those of the lignites. During the major stage of combustion and at 20 degrees C/min, Tuncbilek lignite had the highest apparent activation energy of approximately 100 kJ/mol, while Soma lignite and olive residue had similar apparent activation energies of approximately 40 kJ/mol. Increasing heating rate clearly increased the reactivity, combustibility, and burnout temperatures of all fuel samples. Apparent activation energies decreased with a shift in the heating rate from 20 to 40 degrees C/min, whereas between 15 and 20 degrees C/min the values were approximately constant.

Combustion characteristics of Turkish lignites at oxygen-enriched and oxy-fuel combustion conditions
Barzegar, Ramin; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet; Atımtay, Aysel (2019-10-01)
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 a...
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...
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...
Combustion behavior and kinetics of a Turkish lignite blended with biomass/magnesite dust
Yousefzad Farrokhi, Farshid; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017)
This study investigated the effect of blending on the combustion behavior of Turkish lignite blended with biomass or magnesite dust using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) under air atmosphere. The lignite used in this study is Tunçbilek lignite (TL), which is blended with the biomass types; olive residue (OR) and almond shell (AS), and the inorganic industrial waste, magnesite dust (MD). The blends are composed of various weight fractions of fuels, with a constant weight fraction of molasses (10 wt. %) as...
Combustion kinetics of oil shales by reaction cell experiments
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bagci, S. (Estonian Academy Publishers, 2008-01-01)
In this study, kinetics parameters of combustion reaction of Seyitomer and Beypazari oil shales were determined using Weijdema's model of reaction kinetics. The analysis of reaction kinetics experiments showed two different reaction regions at combustion of Beypazari oil shale sample. Only one reaction region was observed at combustion of Seyitomer oil shale. CO2/CO ratios increased gradually at low and medium temperatures and stabilized at high temperatures, especially after complete combustion. A decrease...
