The Thermal Characterization of Crude Oils in a Limestone Matrix of Different Particle Size

2014-05-03
In the first part of this research, the effect of particle size (35-100 mesh) on the calcination kinetics of a limestone sample was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis technique. Thermal studies showed that two main weight loss regions are observed in limestone samples of different particle size. In the second part of the research, thermal analysis of a medium crude oil sample in a limestone matrix of different particle size is analyzed. Two different reaction regions were observed known as low temperature and high temperature oxidation reactions, respectively. Arrhenius and Coats and Redfern kinetic models were applied to the experimental results and it was observed that the kinetics of crude oil samples of different particles were in the range of 5.4-8.9 kJ/mol in low temperature oxidation and 42.3-74.1 kJ/mol in high temperature oxidation mol depending on the kinetic model and particle size effect.

Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2014-01-17)
In this research, different origins of bentonite samples (non-treated, treated, and test) were studied by x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform spectrophotometer, viscometer, and thermogravimetry. It was observed that the major clay minerals were smectite and montmorillonite. Different band intervals were studied by Fourier transform. The weight loss regions related to the dehydration and de-hydroxylation process were determined by thermogravimetry. Kinetic parameters of the bentonite samples were determined...
The effects of metallic catalysts on light crude oil oxidation in limestone medium
Celebioglu, D; Bağcı, Ali Suat (2002-08-20)
In this study, 28 experiments were performed to study the effects of metallic additives on light crude oil oxidation in limestone medium. Karakus and Beykan crude oils from Turkish oil fields were used. The metallic additives were ferric chloride (FeCl3) copper chloride (CuCl) and magnesium chloride (MgCl(2)(.)6H(2)O). The mixture of aqueous solutions of three metallic salts with limestone and the crude oils was subjected to a controlled heating schedule under a constant flow rate of air. The produced gas w...

Senguler, I.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2013-01-01)
In this study, non-isothermal kinetics and a thermal analysis tar sand sample is studied by differential scanning calorimeter and pressurized differential scanning calorimeter. Differential scanning calorimeter and pressurized differential scanning calorimeter curves revealed two reaction regions in the temperature range of 20-600 degrees C. Effect of pressure was also studied in order to see the thermal behavior of a tar sand sample under different elevated pressures. Two different kinetic methods (ASTM an...
The effect of lime addition on the combustion properties and sulfur contents of three different coals
Ozbas, Kazim Esber; Hiçyilmaz, Cahit; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2002-01-01)
In this research, combustion characterization of 3 different coals of Turkey, from the Soma, Tuncbilek, and Afsin Elbistan regions, were investigated with thermal analysis techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). Lime was added to these coals in concentrations of 3, 7, and 10% by weight to investigate the change in combustible sulfur content and sulfur in ash. It was observed that lime has a positive effect on sulfur emission. Kinetic analysis was also perfor...

Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2010-03-01)
The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of different clay composition and concentrations on the thermal behaviour and kinetics of heavy crude oil in limestone matrix by thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). In TG/DTG experiments, three distinct reaction regions were identified in all of the crude oil + limestone mixture known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO) respectively. Addition of clay to porous matrix significantly affected the react...
