Twelve samples of coal from the three major depositional episodes which occurred on the North China Block during the Carboniferous, Permian and Jurassic Periods have been investigated. The samples varied in rank from high volatile bituminous coal to anthracite and, although the coals from the three sequences were formed from different plants under different climates, plots of random vitrinite reflectance against elemental H/C ratios were similar to those previously reported from coals deposited in Euramerica and Gondwanaland. None of the samples which have been examined contained significant quantities of liptinite; the vitrinite consisted mainly of desmocollinite. Shanxi coals resemble petrologically those from Gondwanaland. Diffuse reflectance, Fourier transform infrared (FT-i.r.) spectra of twelve samples and of their residues after pyridine extraction are presented and the chemical structures of these vitrinite-inertinite coals are shown to be very similar to those of better known bituminous coals. Increasing maturity (rank) of the coals can be attributed to increase in the geothermal temperature to which they have been subjected and is accompanied by the expected increase in aromaticity and also by an increase in the protonation of the aromatic structures. The spectra suggest that vitrinite-inertinite rich coals from many different depositional settings have similar patterns of substitution around their aromatic rings, the similarity increasing with rank. Thus the chemistry of vitrinite-rich coals appears to be controlled by the possession of common hydroaromatic structures.

Eastern Mediterranean sapropels: chemical structure, deposition and relation to oil-shales Dick, C; Ediger, V; Fabbri, D; Gaines, AF; Love, GD; McGinn, A; McRae, C; Murray, IP; Nicol, BJ; Snape, CE (Elsevier BV, 2002-03-01) Ten sapropels, deposited in three different basins of the eastern Mediterranean since the Miocene and selected from cores of the Deep Sea Drilling Programme have been characterised by elemental analysis; fluorescence, infra-red and NMR spectrometry, by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and by catalytic hydrogenation at moderately high pressure. The sapropels are Types I-II kerogens, which have been oxidised, probably by a front experienced, since their deposition. Only one, from the Cretan basi...
A study on the effects of various combustion parameters on the mineral composition of Tuncbilek fly ash Akin, Suleyman Sener; Magalhaes, Duarte; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01) This study investigated the mineral composition and morphology of ash obtained from laboratory equipment and power plant fly ash from a Turkish lignite. In accordance with this purpose, combustion experiments were conducted for different heating rates in a temperature range of 800-1000 degrees C using different laboratory scale equipment: drop tube furnace (DTF) (similar to 10(5) degrees C/s), wire mesh reactor (WMR) (similar to 10(3) degrees C/s) and muffle furnace (MF) (similar to 10 degrees C/min). The r...
A study on the effects of catalysts on pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of Turkish lignite in oxy-fuel conditions ABBASI-ATIBEH, Ehsan; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-01) The catalytic pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of low calorific value Turkish lignite in various ambient conditions were explored and the evolution of gases during pyrolysis tests was examined using a Thermogravimetric Analyzer coupled with a Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer (TGA-FTIR). Potassium carbonate (K2CO3), calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)(2)) and iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) were employed as precursors of the catalysts and compared to the Raw-form (no catalyst added) to investigate the effects ...
An investigation of polymerflooding in limestone reservoirs with a bottom water zone Bağcı, Ali Suat; Hodaie, H (Informa UK Limited, 2003-03-01) The effects of polymers on waterflooding of a limestone reservoir with or without a bottom water zone, as well as the effect of vertical and horizontal production wells on oil recovery, have been investigated in laboratory models. Sixteen core flood displacement tests were conducted to study the effect of relative oil-water layer thickness, polymer slug size, and well configuration in a production port. A qualitative comparison was made to show the difference between waterflooding and polymer-augmented wate...
Comparison of single particle combustion behaviours of raw and torrefied biomass with Turkish lignites Magalhaes, Duarte; Panahi, Aidin; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Levendis, Yiannis A. (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01) This study investigated the combustion behaviour of single pulverized biomass and lignite coal particles under high temperature-high heating rate conditions. Selected fuels included three important agricultural residues in Turkey (olive residue, almond shell, and hazelnut shell), and two lignite coals from the regions of Tuncbilek and Soma in Turkey. Biomass fuels were either raw or torrefied at 275 degrees C for 30 min in nitrogen. The biomass fuels were sieved to a size cut of 212-300 mu m, and the coals ...
