The presence of increased moisture content, low energy density and maximum spontaneous combustion tendency has raised serious environmental issues, which are obstacles to large scale utilization of coals. Hydrothermal dewatering (HTD) is a promising method for upgrading low rank coals (LRCs). The influences of HTD, executed at different temperatures on solid product yield, removal rate of elements, organics and inorganics, and combustion characteristics in LRCs were studied. HTD treatment of LRCs was carried out in 2 L cylindrical autoclave at 200-300 degrees C for 1 h. For upgraded coals, the inherent moisture and oxygen content decreased significantly while fixed carbon content and calorific value increased. FTIR results indicate the conversion of LRCs near to high-rank coals (HRCs). The organic matter was removed due to loss of Methylene, Methyl groups and O-containing functional groups, whereas inorganic matter was removed mainly in the forms of Fe and Ca-containing minerals. The upgraded coals had higher ignition and burnout temperatures, while their combustion was shifted and delayed toward higher temperature zone. Activation energy of treated coals increased in ignition stage while decreased in combustion segment. Prominent changes were found in coal structure, composition, rank, and combustion characteristics at HTD temperature of 300 degrees C. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and dimethyl ether at atmospheric pressure using Cu-Ho-Ga/gamma-Al2O3 and Cu-Ho-Ga/ZSM-5: Experimental study and thermodynamic analysis
Tuygun, Cansu; İpek Torun, Bahar (2021-01-01)
CO2 valorization through chemical reactions attracts significant attention due to the mitigation of greenhouse gas effects. This article covers the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol and dimethyl ether using Cu-Ho-Ga containing ZSM-5 and gamma-Al2O3 at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures of 210 degrees C and 260 degrees C using a CO2:H-2 feed ratio of 1:3 and 1:9. In addition, the thermodynamic limitations of methanol and DME formation from CO2 was investigated at a temperature range of 100-400...
Geochemical modeling of NCG injection in a geothermal well using doublet well model
İlgin, Buğrahan; Akın, Serhat; Erol, Selçuk; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2021-7-29)
Geothermal energy is regarded as an environmentally friendly source of energy. However, the amount of non-condensable gases (NCG), which are co-produced with brine, are significantly high in the geothermal fields of Turkey. To overcome the NCG emission produced by power plants, which is mainly CO2, one of the efficient methods is re-injecting the captured NCG into the reservoir. The ultimate aim of the reinjection is to mineralize CO2 in the reservoir as carbonate minerals. In this thesis, a reactive transp...
Fluid-CO2 injection impact in a geothermal reservoir: Evaluation with 3-D reactive transport modeling
AKIN, TAYLAN; Baser, Ali; Saracoglu, Onder; Akın, Serhat (2022-01-01)
Geothermal energy is commonly recognized as an environmentally friendly source of energy. However, geothermal fluids have unusually high CO2 content, particularly, in carbonated geothermal reservoirs. An efficient method to mitigate the CO2 emissions of geothermal power plants is to re-inject the captured CO2 with the effluent fluid to mineralize mainly into calcite under reservoir conditions (e.g., reservoir temperatures ranging from 200 to 220 degrees C). One of the major concerns about the re-injection o...
Pyrolysis and combustion behaviour of various fuels in oxygen-enriched air and CO2 atmospheres
Yüzbaşı, Nur Sena; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011)
Oxy-fuel combustion technology, which is based on burning coal in a mixture of oxygen and recycled flue gas (RFG), is suggested as one of new promising technologies for capturing CO2 from power plants. In this thesis study, the pyrolysis and combustion behaviour of various fuels including imported coal, petroleum coke, two different types of indigenous lignites, olive residue and their blends with different proportions in air and oxy-fuel conditions were investigated by using non-isothermal thermogravimetri...
Steam Reforming of ethanol over sol-gel-synthesized mixed oxide catalysts
Olcay, Hakan Önder; Üner, Deniz; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
Depletion in the reserves of fossil fuels, inefficient energy production from these fuels and the negative effect of their usage on atmosphere, and thereby, on human health have accelerated researches on clean energy. Hydrogen produced from ethanol when used in fuel cells not only generates efficient energy but also creates a closed carbon cycle in nature. ZnO and Cu/ZnO catalysts are known with their superior performance in alcohol synthesis. From the principle of microkinetic reversibility they are expect...
