The combustion of heavy fuel oil for power generation is a great source of carbonaceous and inorganic particle emissions, even though the combustion technologies and their efficiency are improving. The information about the size distribution function of the particles originated by trace metals present into the fuels is not adequate.

Study of water-oil emulsion combustion in large pilot power plants for fine particle matter emission reduction
Allouis, Christophe Gerard; L'Insalata, A.; Fortunato, L.; Saponaro, A.; Beretta, F. (2007-04-01)
The combustion of heavy fuel oil for power generation is a great source of carbonaceous and inorganic particle emissions, even though the combustion technologies and their efficiency are improving. The information about the size distribution function of the particles originated by trace metals present into the fuels is not adequate. In this paper, we focused our attention the influence of emulsion oil-water on the larger distribution mode of both the carbonaceous and metallic particles. Isokinetic sampling ...
Behavior and effect of SARA fractions of oil during combustion
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Karacan, C.O. (1997-01-01)
In-situ combustion technology is considered to be an efficient one not only for heavy oil reserves but also for depleted light and medium oil bearing reservoirs. Unfortunately, the lack of better understanding of the process variables in terms of the conversion of oil during combustion and reservoir characteristics, as well as the costs, limits the more effective application of this technology. In this study, SARA fractions of two (medium and heavy) Turkish crude oils were separated by column chromatographi...
Investigation of SO2 removal characteristics with limestone under oxycombustion conditions
Avşaroğlu, Sevil; Sanin, F. Dilek.; Department of Environmental Engineering (2019)
One of the technologies to increase combustion efficiency and decrease CO2 and other emissions is Oxy-Fuel Combustion. Combustion efficiency is higher and emissions are lower when the oxygen concentration of air is higher. In this thesis different characteristics of two indigenous Turkish lignites are investigated by Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). Pyrolysis is carried out under both N2 and CO2 atmospheres and combustion characteristics is also examined. CO2 acts as an inert gas at lower temperatures. T...
Synthesis and investigation of optical and electrochemical properties of organoboron based donor-acceptor type conjugated polymers
Ayyıldız, Berrin; Çırpan, Ali; Dengiz, Çağatay; Department of Chemistry (2021-7)
In recent years, the element boron has an important place in the studies of alternative energy sources to solve problems arising in the field of energy production. In addition to its superior properties and wide use in many industry areas, it is known that boron is integrated into conjugated organic structures. One of the current focus points of studies on alternative energy sources is polymers with semiconductor conjugated structures and small organic molecules. In this study, boron units were embedded in ...
Removal of hydrogen sulfide by regenerable metal oxide sorbents
Karayılan, Dilek; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004)
High-temperature desulfurization of coal-derived fuel gases is an essential process in advanced power generation technologies. It may be accomplished by using metal oxide sorbents. Among the sorbents investigated CuO sorbent has received considerable attention. However, CuO in uncombined form is readily reduced to copper by the H2 and CO contained in fuel gases which lowers the desulfurization efficiency. To improve the performance of CuO-based sorbents, they have been combined with other metal oxides, form...
