In this research, combustion properties and kinetics of different biomass samples known as poplar wood, hazelnut shell and wheat bran were studied using thermogravimetry-mass spectrometer. Experiments were performed at three different heating rates (10, 20 and 30 A degrees C min(-1)) under air atmosphere. The reaction regions, peak and burnout temperatures, mass loss, maximum mass loss rate and residue of the biomass samples were determined. It was observed that all the biomass samples studied show similar combustion characteristics. This study was also focused on the main volatile products (H-2, O, CO and CO2, etc.) of biomass combustion on the basis of their relative intensities across the temperature range 150-750 A degrees C and on their relevancy, respectively. Activation energy and Arrhenius constant of the biomass samples were calculated using two different iso-conversional methods, known as Ozawa-Flynn-Wall and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose. It was observed that the activation energy values were in the range of 66.80-68.56 kJ mol(-1) for poplar wood, 83.73-93.25 kJ mol(-1) for hazelnut shell and 162.17-167.4 kJ mol(-1) for wheat bran, respectively. The biomass reactivity is directly related to the light volatile content, whereas combustion of fixed carbon affected the energy release.

Pyrolysis mass spectrometric analysis of poly(pyrrole-g-(2-(N-pyrrolyl)ethylvinylether) Uyar, Tamer; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2003-01-01) Preparation of block and graft copolymers of conducting polymers with insulating polymers with good mechanical properties have been attempted in order to improve their mechanical properties. Yet, complete structural characterization is still limited due to the insolubility of the polymer samples. In this work, direct insertion pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique had been applied for structural and thermal characterization of a polymer prepared by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole on a poly(2-(N-py...
Combustion performance of oil shale and biomass fuels and their blends Özgür, Emre; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2014) The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the co-combustion performance of different origins of oil shales (Ulukışla and Himmetoğlu regions of Turkey) and various biomass samples (hazelnut shell, wheat bran, poplar, and miscanthus) at different biomass proportions (10, 20, and 50% by weight) using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and thermogravimetric analyzer-mass spectrometer (TGA-MS) at different heating rates (10, 30, 50 oC/minute). The ignition temperatures of the...
The characterization of polyaniline and polypyrrole composites by pyrolysis mass spectrometry Hacaloğlu, Jale; Kücukyavuz, Zühal (2009-09-05) hi this work, direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique was applied to investigate the thermal and structural characteristics of electrochemically prepared polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), and their composites/copolymers synthesized either by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole on PANI-coated electrode (PANI/PPy) or by coating PANI on PPy (PPy/PANI) in H(2)SO(4) solutions. It has been determined that the polymer first coated on the electrode degraded to a certain extent during...
Investigation of copolymers of thiophene-functionalized polystyrene with pyrrole by pyrolysis mass spectrometry Papila, Ozge; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2006-06-01) The thermal and structural characterization of electrochemically synthesized thiophene-functionalized polystyrene and pyrrole (PS/PPy) and their copolymers were investigated by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. The pyrolysis data confirmed the growth of polypyrrole onto the pendant thiophene moiety of polystyrene. It is determined that the electrolytic film has different properties from the mechanical mixture and the related homopolymers.
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...
