In this study a circulating fluidized bed combustor (CFBC) of 125 mm inside diameter and 1800 mm height was used to investigate the combustion characteristics of peach and apricot stones produced as a waste from the fruit juice industry. A lignite coal was also burned in the same combustor. The combustion characteristics of the wastes were compared with that of a lignite coal that is most widely used in Turkey. On-line concentrations of O-2, CO, CO2, SO2, NOX and total hydrocarbons (CmHn) were measured in the flue gas during combustion experiments. By changing the operating parameters (excess air ratio, fluidization velocity, and fuel feed rate) the variation of emissions of various pollutants were studied. During the combustion tests, it was observed that the volatile matter from peach and apricot stones quickly volatilizes and mostly bum in the riser. It was found that as the volatile matter of fruit stones increases, the combustion takes place more in the freeboard region.

Peach and apricot stone combustion in a bubbling fluidized bed
Kaynak, B; Topal, H; Atımtay, Aysel (Elsevier BV, 2005-07-25)
In this study, a bubbling fluidized bed combustor (BFBC) of 102 mm inside diameter and 900 mm height was used to investigate the combustion characteristics of peach and apricot stones produced as a waste from the fruit juice industry. A lignite coal was also burned in the same combustor. The combustion characteristics of the wastes were compared with that of a lignite coal that is most widely used in Turkey. On-line concentrations of O(2), CO, CO(2), SO(2), NO(X) and total hydrocarbons (C(m)H(n)) were measu...
Co-combustion of peach and apricot stone with coal in a bubbling fluidized bed
Atımtay, Aysel (2008-02-01)
In this study a bubbling fluidized bed combustor (BFBC) having an inside diameter of 102 mm and a height of 900 mm was used to investigate the co-combustion characteristics of peach and apricot stones produced as a waste from the fruit juice industry with coal. A lignite coal was used for co-combustion. on-line concentrations of O-2, CO, CO2, SO2, NOx and total hydrocarbons (CmHn) were measured in the flue gas during combustion experiments. Variations of emissions of various pollutants were studied by chang...
Investigation of co-combustion of coal and olive cake in a bubbling fluidized bed with secondary air injection
Atımtay, Aysel (2009-06-01)
In this study, a bubbling fluidized bed of 102 mm inside diameter and 900 mm height was used to burn olive cake and coal mixtures. Tuncbilek lignite coal was used together with olive cake for the co-combustion tests. Combustion performances and emission characteristics of olive cake and coal mixtures were investigated. Various co-combustion tests of coal with olive cake were conducted with mixing ratios of 25%, 50%, and 75% of olive cake by weight in the mixture. Operational parameters (excess air ratio, se...
Dielectric and Thermal Properties of Rice Cake Formulations Containing Different Gums Types
Turabi, Elif; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Sumnu, Gulum; Şahin, Serpil; Rother, Matthias (Informa UK Limited, 2010-10-25)
In this study, dielectric properties of rice cake formulations containing different gum types (xanthan, guar, locust bean, HPMC, and kappa-carrageenan) were determined at temperatures between 25 and 90 degrees C at 2450 MHz. Moreover, thermal properties of these formulations were determined by using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Dielectric properties of cake batters were found to be dependent on cake formulation. Xanthan and guar gum containing cake batters had the highest dielectric constant and...
Biohydrogen production by Rhodobacter capsulatus in solar tubular photobioreactor on thick juice dark fermenter effluent
Boran, Efe; Ozgur, Ebru; Yucel, Meral; Gündüz, Ufuk; Eroglu, Inci (2012-08-01)
The purpose of this study was to operate a pilot scale solar tubular photobioreactor (90 L) for photofermentative hydrogen production from thick juice dark fermenter effluent (DEE) by photosynthetic purple-non-sulfur bacterium, Rhodobacter capsulatus. The tubular photobioreactor was equipped with internal cooling tubes for effective temperature control, which is essential for stable, long-term operation. The photobioreactor was operated in fed-batch mode throughout September 2009 in Ankara, Turkey. R. capsu...
