Five coal samples from different origins are characterized for their pyrolysis and combustion features using coupled thermogravimetry - mass spectrometry (TG-MS). The samples are heated at temperatures ranging from 25 to 900 degrees C in air atmosphere under heating rates of 10, 20, and 30 degrees C/min. The characteristic temperatures (initial, peak, burn out), reaction intervals, mass loss rate, ash residues, ignition and combustion performances, an ignition-combustion index and the reactivities of the coal samples are calculated and the associated heating rate effects are estimated. The less reactive coal exhibits higher peak temperature in conversion and low value of ignition index and reactivity. The reactivity of the coal samples varied in between 2.31 and 7.84 x10(2) (1/min). The main volatile and combustion products (H-2, CH4, H2O, CO, CO2, C6H6, COS, SO2) release for the corresponding TG and temperatures are estimated using online 3D measurements of MS based on their relative intensities and relevancy. Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) type model free kinetic methods are applied to determine the activation energies of the coals which are exhibited in-between 44.6 - 75.1 kJ/mol and 50.5-96.6 kJ/mol using OFW and KAS methods respectively. The estimated kinetic constants are compared and found consistent with combustion performance parameters.

Combustion Behavior and Kinetics of Turkish Lignite Blended with Biomass/Magnesite Dust Farrokhi, Farshid Yousefzad; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2018-12-01) The effect of blending on the combustion behavior of a Turkish lignite blended with biomass or magnesite dust using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) coupled with a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) under air atmosphere has been investigated. The lignite used in this study is Tuncbilek lignite (TL), which is blended with two biomasses, 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,...
INDUSTRIAL ENERGY-CONSUMPTION PATTERNS AND POSSIBLE SAVINGS IN TURKEY TASDEMIROGLU, E (Elsevier BV, 1993-03-01) Quantitative information on industrial energy consumption patterns in different industrial sectors of Turkiye has been analyzed. The more important energy-conservation opportunities in the heavy energy-consuming industrial activities have been identified. Considerable savings potentials exist through the application of short-term measures involving existing technology. The technological potential for conservation in industrial activities is reviewed.
Combustion performance and kinetics of oil shales Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01) In this research, combustion performance and kinetics of two Turkish oil shales were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TGA/DTG), and thermogravimetry-mass spectrophotometry (TG-MS) techniques at three different heating rates (10, 30, and 50 degrees C/min). The combustion reaction occurred in two different regions and the corresponding mass loss of oil shales was calculated. Activation energies of oil shale samples are calculated using three different methods and t...
Technical and economic aspects of solar space heating in Turkey Taşdemiroǧlu, Ersoy; Awad, Mostafa F. Shaaban (Elsevier BV, 1990-11) A computer analysis of solar heating has been performed for Turkey. Results are presented for two prototype buildings using either fuel-oil or coal under different heating loads in three climatic regions (Antalya, Ankara and Kars). Cumulative cost flows are compared for the life-cycle present value technique. Optimum design magnitudes are determined for maximum life-cycle savings. The payback period for capital invested in a solar system, internal rate of return, and total savings are found for the optimum ...
Combustion and co-combustion of olive cake and coal in fluidized bed Varol, Murat; Atımtay, Aysel; Department of Environmental Engineering (2006) In this study, combustion performances and emission characteristics of olive cake and olive cake+coal mixture are investigated in a bubbling fluidized bed of 102 mm inside diameter and 900 mm height. The average particle sizes of coal and olive cake used in the experiments were 1.57 mm and 1.52 mm, respectively. Flue gas concentrations of O2, CO, SO2, NOx, and total hydrocarbons (CmHn) were measured during combustion experiments. Operational parameters (excess air ratio, secondary air injection) were change...
