Kinetic analysis of DSC and thermogravimetric data on combustion of lignite

1996-06-01
Thermal analysis increasingly being used to obtain kinetic data relating to sample decomposition. This work involves a comparative study of several methods used to analyse DSC and TG/DTG data obtained on the oxidation of Beypazari lignite. A general computer program was developed and the methods are compared with regard to their accuracy and the ease of interpretation of the kinetics of thermal decomposition. For this study, the ratio method was regarded as the preferred method, because it permits the estimation of reaction order, activation energy and Arrhenius constant simultaneously from a single experiment.

Mathematical modeling of thermal decomposition of coal
Guruz, GA; Uctepe, U; Durusoy, T (Elsevier BV, 2004-06-01)
Pyrolysis, as a first step in all thermochemical coal conversion processes, has been investigated in detail over the years in order to evaluate the kinetic data and to establish reliable models for the complex reaction scheme. Since coal pyrolysis is not a single reaction but rather a multiplicity in different time intervals for isothermal pyrolysis, or in different time and temperature intervals for the case of heat-up, any set of parameters cannot be expected to represent data accurately over a wide range...
EVALUATION OF SECOND VIRIAL COEFFICIENTS FROM SATURATION DATA
Orbey, H.; Orbey, N. (Informa UK Limited, 1989-3)
A data reduction technique is introduced for the evaluation of second virial coefficients of gases at subcritical temperatures. The method makes use of the vapor-liquid equilibrium data, i.e., temperature, saturation pressure, liquid and vapor molar volumes and can be used to obtain second virial coefficients of a wide variety of fluids including polar, associating and quantum gases. The calculated second virial coefficients are in good agreement with their counterparts from literature, which are obtained f...
THERMAL AND MASS DIFFUSIVITY FROM DYNAMIC SINGLE PELLET EXPERIMENTS
DOGU, G; CABBAR, C; Doğu, Timur (Informa UK Limited, 1991-01-01)
The single-pellet moment techniques previously developed for the evaluation of effective diffusion coefficient and effective thermal conductivity of a porous solid are combined and a procedure is proposed for the simultaneous evaluation of these constants from a single set of pulse response experiments. It is shown that both temperature and concentration response curves can be measured from a single pulse of oxygen injected into hydrogen carrier gas flowing past a catalyst pellet. It is shown that the zerot...
Thermal behaviour of some metal complexes of N,N-diethyl-N'-benzoyl thiourea
Merdivan, M; Aygün, Rüveyde Sezer; Kulcu, N (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1997-06-01)
The thermal behaviour of the complexes of N,N-diethyl-N'-benzoylthiourea (DEBT) with NI(II), Cu(II), Pt(II), Pd(II) and Ru(III) was studied using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TG). These complexes undergo only a pyrolytic decomposition process. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry combined system was used for the verification of the first decomposition product and X-ray diffraction method for the characterization of the final products of pyrolysis.
Vulcan-Supported Pt Electrocatalysts for PEMFCs Prepared using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Deposition
Bayrakceken, Ayse; Smirnova, Alevtina; Kitkamthorn, Usanee; Aindow, Mark; Tuerker, Lemi; Eroğlu, İnci; ERKEY, CAN (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) deposition was used to prepare vulcan-supported Pt (Pt/Vulcan) electrocatalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), and the effects of process variables on the properties of the electrocatalysts were investigated. The two different methods used to reduce the organometallic precursor were thermal reduction in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure and thermal reduction in scCO(2). In the former method, the maximum Pt loading achieved was 9%, and t...
