Application of oxygen-enhanced and CO2 diluted combustion to existing fossil fuel/biofuel energy systems to facilitate CO2 capture presents several challenges. This paper investigates the combustion characteristics of rapeseed oil and its blends with diesel oil in swirling spray flames. It focuses on the stability of flames, NOx, CO and particle emissions. We observed that the oxygen enrichment produced an increase of NOx emission due to the higher furnace temperature, while CO emissions slightly increased. Moreover, it did not modify the modes of the particle size distribution functions, but it tended to reduce the total amount of particle emissions by one order of magnitude. On another hand, CO2 dilution decreased the NOx emission (up to 20 times) due to the lower furnace temperature at fixed oxygen concentration. Although the dilution of combustion does not produce significant effect on the shape of the size distribution functions, this modifies significantly the absolute concentrations of the emitted particles. Finally, the produced oxygen-enhanced/diluted flames were stable and more luminous than the air/fuel flames. The increase of O-2 concentration caused that the flames were longer by about 20% compared with base line flame. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Experimental and numerical modeling of direct injection of CO 2 into carbonate formations Izgec, O.; Demiral, B.; Bertin, H.; Akın, Serhat (Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE); 2006-11-20) Sequestration of carbon dioxide in geological formations is an alternative way to manage the carbon emitted by combustion of fossil fuels. Results of an experimental and numerical modeling study aiming to investigate the important aspects of injection of CO2 in carbonate formations are presented. Different from sandstones, in carbonates surface reaction rates are very high, so mass transfer often limits the overall reaction rate, leading to highly non-uniform dissolution patterns. Often, large flow channels...
EFFECTS OF DISSOLVED ORGANIC CARBON (DOC) AND ZOOPLANKTON GRAZING PRESSURE ON BACTERIA AND CILIATES Yetim, Sinem; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Ger, Kemal Ali; Department of Biology (2021-11-24) Global climate change results in extreme precipitation events that increase allochthonous organic matter (e.g., dissolved organic carbon, DOC) input into freshwater ecosystems via flooding. While DOC is a source of carbon and energy for heterotrophic organisms in freshwater ecosystems, its bottom-up effects on trophic interactions, and especially on the microbial food web, are poorly understood. Similarly, the top-down effect of contrasting zooplankton traits (i.e., generalist vs. selective) on DOC enriched...
Modification of pebax and zif-8/pebax membranes by additional solvent treatment to improve co2/n2 separation performance Alsuhile, Ala Abdulalem Abdo Moqbel; Kalıpçılar, Halil; Büküşoğlu, Emre; Department of Chemical Engineering (2020-9) Capturing carbon dioxide is currently one of the most attractive research areas due to the serious problems that CO2 emission creates for the environment. The main aim of this work is to utilize cheap and environmentally friendly methods with simple synthesizing systems to enhance the separation performance of CO2 from N2 using PEBAX 1657 membranes. Thus, in this study, solvent modification and double-layer methods were used to improve the permeability of carbon dioxide in pure PEBAX 1657 and ZIF-8/PEB...
Effect of pre-acclimation of granular activated carbon on microbial electrolysis cell startup and performance LaBarge, Nicole; Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad; Hong, Pei-Ying; Logan, Bruce E. (2017-02-01) Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can generate methane by fixing carbon dioxide without using expensive catalysts, but the impact of acclimation procedures on subsequent performance has not been investigated. Granular activated carbon (GAC) was used to pre-enrich electrotrophic methanogenic communities, as GAC has been shown to stimulate direct transfer of electrons between different microbial species. MEC startup" times using pre-acclimated GAC were improved compared to controls (without pre-acclimation ...
Economics of carbon dioxide sequestration in a mature oil field Rasheed, Ali Suad; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2008) To meet the goal of atmospheric stabilization of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) levels a technological transformation should occur in the energy sector. One strategy to achieve this is carbon sequestration. Carbon dioxide can be captured from industrial sources and sequestered underground into depleted oil and gas reservoirs. CO2 injected into geological formations, such as mature oil reservoirs can be effectively trapped by hydrodynamical (structural), solution, residual (capillary) and mineral trapping methods. In...
