One of the key environmental limitations in coal usage is selenium emission whose removal is focused in this study. We employed hydrothermal treatment to remove Se element and upgrade low rank Huainan coal at 200-300 degrees C. Pyrolysis temperature given during coal treatment was evaluated to simulate coal transformation into high-rank industrial grade by emphasizing O/C ratio, removal of oxygen functional groups and moisture and chemical structure stability. Following hydrothermal treatment, different characterization techniques including XPS, FTIR, XRD and Raman spectroscopy were used to determine the chemical structure of coal. Findings revealed that hydrothermal treatment process has an important influence on the crystalline structures of low rank coals. The results of XRD and Raman spectroscopy analysis demonstrated much graphitized and aromatic microcrystalline structure. The chemical structure developed was orderly, stable and dense. Selenium XPS spectra comprising of 3D peaks has confirmed several oxidation states including selenide, selenates and oxide species. The removal proportion of Se was significant and increased up to 50.7% with increased HTT temperature (300 degrees C). This study provides some unique findings pertaining to solubility of sub-critical water and rate of change in pyrolysis temperature as determinant factors in the removal of Se. Our simulation model further concludes that transformation of low rank coal into high rank is a function of temperature treatment coupled with optimization of fixed carbon. We infer that hydrothermal treatment derived coal possesses sufficient lucid attributes to be considered as environmentally safe fuel.

Influence of coal briquette size on the combustion kinetics
Altun, Naci Emre; Bagci, AS (Elsevier BV, 2004-08-15)
In this study, the effects of one of the most important parameters in coal briquetting process, the briquette size, on the combustion behaviour of coal briquettes were determined from the view of combustion kinetics, i.e. their liability to ignite and combust. Effect of size on the combustion kinetics was treated by two different approaches. The first one consists of combustion kinetics experiments with briquettes of increasing sizes, thus of expanding volumes. In the second phase, briquette dimensions were...
Influence of fly ash composition on non-gray particle radiation in combusting systems
Ates, CİHAN; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2018-08-01)
In this study, chemical composition dependency of both radiative properties of ash particles and radiative heat exchange are investigated for conditions typically encountered in industrial coal-fired furnaces. For that purpose, chemical composition dependent / independent complex index of refraction models are utilized to evaluate (i) spectral particle absorption efficiencies, scattering efficiencies and asymmetry factors, (ii) particle cloud properties representing pulverized coal fired furnaces (PC-Fired)...
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...
Influence of biomass thermal pre-treatment on the particulate matter formation during pulverized co-combustion with lignite coal
Magalhaes, Duarte; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza (2022-01-15)
This work investigated the particulate matter formation during co-combustion of thermally pre-treated biomass with coal. Olive residue was chosen as agricultural waste biomass, and Tunçbilek lignite as the coal. The biomass was thermally pretreated to assess the influence of the pretreatment temperature on particulate matter formation during co-combustion. Specifically, the olive residue was torrefied (at 275 °C) and pyrolyzed (at 500 °C) using a tubular oven. The biomass-coal blends in a 50:50 wt% ratio we...
Effect of dispersed phase feed time on the droplet size of Pickering emulsions produced in a stirred tank
Donmez, Dila; Ayrancı Tansık, İnci (Wiley, 2020-06-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of feed time of the oil phase on the average droplet size of Pickering emulsions produced in stirred tanks. Three types of impellers were tested: RT, up-pumping PBT (PBTU), and down-pumping PBT (PBTD). All the impellers were tested at two sizes, T/3 and T/2. All configurations were compared at constant tip speed, power per mass, and impeller Reynolds number. The droplet diameters were measured in Mastersizer (R) 3,000 (Malvern). The results showed that an ...
