This study investigates the particulate matter formation during combustion of olive residue, almond shell, and Tunçbilek lignite. Selected fuels (olive residue and Tunçbilek lignite) were also co-fired to evaluate the influence on particulate matter emission. Olive residue was ground to different size ranges (< 125 µm and 212–300 µm) to investigate the influence of the particle size and blended in different ratios of biomass / coal to analyse the interactions between fuels. Tests were performed in a drop tube furnace at high temperature (1000 ºC), with a high heating rate (~104 ºC/s), and short residence time (~3 s). Fuel was fed into the furnace at a low mass rate of 10 g/h using a syringe pump. Particulate matter was collected using a 3-stage stack impactor and categorized according to the aerodynamic diameters, PM2.5, PM2.5-10, and PM10. The results obtained included particle burnout, and particulate matter concentration. Particle burnout was above 95% for all studied fuels. Particulate matter emission depended greatly on the fuel and the blend. Olive residue presented the lowest values of PM2.5 (176 mg/g ash in fuel fed) compared with both almond shell (214 mg/g ash in fuel fed) and Tunçbilek lignite (286 mg/g ash in fuel fed). PM10 emission was particularly low for olive residue (~200 mg/g ash in fuel fed), whereas almond shell and Tunçbilek lignite showed similar values (~400 mg/g ash in fuel fed). Larger biomass particles resulted in unchanged particulate matter emissions. Co-firing of the olive residue with the Tunçbilek lignite resulted in lower PM2.5 (as compared to neat olive); higher PM2.5-10 (as compared to neat lignite); and lower PM10 (as compared to lignite). Blends of OR-TL in 25-75 ratio showed lower values of both PM2.5 and PM10 as compared with the 50-50 blends of the same fuels.

Synergistic fire retardancy of colemanite, a natural hydrated calcium borate, in high-impact polystyrene containing brominated epoxy and antimony oxide Kaynak, Cevdet (2011-05-01) This study explores for the first time the synergistic fire retardant action of natural hydrated calcium borate, namely the mineral colemanite, which partially replaces antimony oxide in brominated flame retardant high-impact polystyrene compounds. Various antimony oxide to hydrated calcium borate ratios were employed keeping the brominated flame retardant additive at a constant loading level. With partial colemanite substitution for antimony oxide, lower heat release rate, total heat evolved and fire growt...
Hydrate formation conditions of methane hydrogen sulfide mixtures Bülbül, Sevtaç; Mehmetoğlu, Mustafa Tanju; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2007) The objective of this study is to determine hydrate formation conditions of methane- hydrogen sulfide mixtures. During the study, an experimental work is carried out by using a system that contains a high-pressure hydrate formation cell and pressure-temperature data is recorded in each experiment. Different H2S concentrations and both brine and distilled water are used in the experiments and the Black Sea conditions, which are suitable for methane-hydrogen sulfide hydrate formation are examined. Considering...
Enzymatic hydrolysis of fruit peels and other lignocellulosic biomass as a source of sugar for fermentation Poçan, Pelin; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2015) In this study, enzymatic hydrolysis of corn cobs, orange and pomegranate peels were evaluated. For the hydrolysis of corn cobs, effect of alkaline pretreatment was examined and it was found that glucose and reducing sugar yield (%) for the pretreated corn cobs increased from 7% to 21.5% and 14% to 33.6% respectively. Effect of cellobiase loading on hydrolysis efficiency was also investigated. It was observed that when cellobiase was added to hydrolysate in addition to cellulase, glucose and total reducing s...
Investigation of ash deposition in a pilot-scale fluidized bed combustor co-firing biomass with lignite Gogebakan, Zuhal; Gogebakan, Yusuf; Selçuk, Nevin; Seliuk, Ekrem (2009-01-01) This study presents the results from investigation of ash deposition characteristics of a high ash and sulfur content lignite co-fired with three types of biomass (olive residue, 49 wt%; hazelnut shell, 42 wt%; and cotton residue, 41 wt%) in 0.3 MWt Middle East Technical University (METU) Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustion (ABFBC) Test Rig. Deposit samples were collected on all air-cooled probe at a temperature of 500 degrees C. Samples were analyzed by SEM/EDX and XRD methods. The results reveal...
Thermal analysis and kinetics of biomass samples Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2013-02-01) In this research, combustion behavior of agricultural residues known as miscanthus, poplar wood, and rice husk was investigated using thermal analysis techniques. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) techniques were used. Combustion experiments were performed at five different heating rates (5, 10, 15, 25, and 50 degrees C/min). The reaction regions, ignition and burnout temperatures, heat flow rate values of biomass samples are determined. Activation energy of the biomass s...
