© 2021 American Chemical Society.This work investigated the co-gasification of biomass and coal chars obtained from fast pyrolysis (1000 °C, ∼104 °C s-1) in a drop tube furnace. Olive residue and Soma lignite were fast-pyrolyzed in a drop tube furnace, and different char blends were prepared for co-gasification at different temperatures (800, 900, 950, and 1000 °C) in a thermogravimetric analyzer. The chars obtained from the drop tube furnace were analyzed for their chemical and mineral composition, morphology, surface area, and particle size distribution. Three distinct blends of olive residue and Soma lignite chars were prepared in the (biomass-coal) ratios of 50-50, 25-75, and 10-90. Three kinetic models were fitted to the (co)gasification profiles: the volumetric model, the grain model, and the random pore model. The results showed that fast pyrolysis strongly affected the morphology and surface area of the chars, which were not the decisive factors influencing the gasification behavior. Biochar displayed the presence of K in an active form (K2Ca(CO3)2 and KCl), which had a catalytic effect on the gasification. Synergies during the co-gasification were observed for ratios of biochar above 25%, whereas the 10-90 blend showed a similar gasification behavior to that of the lignite char. The results strongly suggested the existence of a threshold for K/Al and K/Si in the char blend for which synergies can be observed, which coincided with the 25OR-75SL blend, specifically, K/Al = 0.7 and K/Si = 0.4.

Effect of an anionic surfactant on different type of hydrate structures Karaaslan, U; Uluneye, E; Parlaktuna, Mahmut (2002-07-01) In this study, methane and gas mixture (including 88.17% propane) hydrates were produced from the anionic surfactant solutions of 0.00, 0.01 and 0.05 wt.% to investigate the effect of surfactant on the hydrate formation rate. Hydrate formation rate increases (promotion effect) with surfactant concentration, but the extent of the surfactant effect is closely related with the type of hydrate structure. The increase in the hydrate formation rate of sII type structure is relatively small compared to that obtain...
Influence of biomass thermal pre-treatment on the particulate matter formation during pulverized co-combustion with lignite coal Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza (2021-03-05) This work investigated the particulate matter formation during co-combustion of biomass with coal.Olive residue in 212-300 μm was chosen as agricultural waste biomass, and Tunçbilek lignite in 106-125μm as the coal. The biomass was thermally pretreated to assess the influence of the pretreatmenttemperature on particulate matter formation during co-combustion. Specifically, the olive residued wastorrefied (at 275 ºC) and pyrolyzed (at 500 ºC) using a tubular oven. The biomass-coal blends in a 50:50wt.% ratio...
The Effects of Co-Mo/CaCO3 Catalyst's Calcination Temperature and Co/Mo Weight Ratio on Carbon Nanotube Production Hocaoglu, Caner; Sezgi, Naime Aslı (2015-01-01) Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized in the temperature range of 500-700 degrees C over cobalt (Co)- and molybdenum (Mo)impregnated CaCO3 catalysts using acetylene gas. The effects of Co-Mo/CaCO3 catalyst's calcination temperature and Co/Mo weight ratio on the carbon deposition rate were investigated. The synthesized CNTs were multiwalled nanotubes with variable outer diameters. They exhibited Type II isotherm, and their surface areas were in the range of 24.8-89.9m(2)/g. It was concluded that the Co/Mo...
Effects of operational parameters and ultrasonic pretreatment on supercritical CO2 extraction of diesel fuel from soil Guvenc, A; Mehmetoglu, U; Mehmetoglu, T (Informa UK Limited, 2004-01-01) Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using CO2 was performed on soil material artificially contaminated with diesel fuel. Raising the temperature from 313 K to 343 K caused the recovery efficiency to increase from 52 to 76%. Pressure and CO2 flow rate were found to be less important. As expected, increasing extraction time resulted in higher recoveries. Ultrasonic pretreatment of the soil material was found to be very effective, possibly due to disrupting the strong interaction bonding between soil matrix a...
Influence of water vapour on high temperature oxidation of steels used in petroleum refinery heaters Sultan, A.; Karakaya, İshak; Erdogan, M. (2012-02-01) The oxidation behaviours of three different steels used in the construction of petroleum refinery heaters were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) technique. C-5, P-11 and P-22 steel samples were tested in two different environments: air and CO2+2H2O+7.52N2, a gas composition which simulates the combustion products of natural gas, at 450 and 500 degrees C. P-22 steel had the best oxidation resistance at both temperatures in air. In CO2+2H2O+7.52N2 environment, the oxidations of all the steels w...
