The combustion characteristics, kinetic analysis and selenium retention-emission behavior during co-combustion of high ash coal (HAC) with pine wood (PW) biomass and torrefied pine wood (TPW) were investigated through a combination of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and laboratory-based circulating fluidized bed combustion experiment. Improved ignition behavior and thermal reactivity of HAC were observed through the addition of a suitable proportion of biomass and torrefied. During combustion of blends, higher values of relative enrichment factors in fly ash revealed the maximum content of condensing volatile selenium on fly ash particles, and depleted level in bottom ash. Selenium emission in blends decreased by the increasing ratio of both PW and TPW. Higher reductions in the total Se volatilization were found for HAC/TPW than individual HAC sample, recommending that TPW have the best potential of selenium retention. The interaction amongst selenium and fly ash particles may cause the retention of selenium.

Combustion behaviour of Turkish lignite in O-2/N-2 and O-2/CO2 mixtures by using TGA-FTIR Selçuk, Nevin (2011-03-01) The pyrolysis and combustion behaviour of a low calorific value Turkish lignite with high sulphur and ash content in air and oxy-fuel conditions were investigated by using non-isothermal thermo-gravimetric method (TGA) coupled with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Pyrolysis tests were carried out in nitrogen and carbon dioxide environments which are the main diluting gases of air and oxy-fuel environment, respectively. Pyrolysis results show that weight loss profiles are almost the same up to...
Combustion behavior and kinetics of a Turkish lignite blended with biomass/magnesite dust Yousefzad Farrokhi, Farshid; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017) This study investigated the effect of blending on the combustion behavior of Turkish lignite blended with biomass or magnesite dust using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) under air atmosphere. The lignite used in this study is Tunçbilek lignite (TL), which is blended with the biomass types; olive residue (OR) and almond shell (AS), and the inorganic industrial waste, magnesite dust (MD). The blends are composed of various weight fractions of fuels, with a constant weight fraction of molasses (10 wt. %) as...
Combustion mechanism and model free kinetics of different origin coal samples: Thermal analysis approach Jayaraman, Kandasamy; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Gokalp, Iskender (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) Five coal samples from different origins are characterized for their pyrolysis and combustion features using coupled thermogravimetry - mass spectrometry (TG-MS). The samples are heated at temperatures ranging from 25 to 900 degrees C in air atmosphere under heating rates of 10, 20, and 30 degrees C/min. The characteristic temperatures (initial, peak, burn out), reaction intervals, mass loss rate, ash residues, ignition and combustion performances, an ignition-combustion index and the reactivities of the co...
Combustion Behavior and Kinetics of Turkish Lignite Blended with Biomass/Magnesite Dust Farrokhi, Farshid Yousefzad; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2018-12-01) The effect of blending on the combustion behavior of a Turkish lignite blended with biomass or magnesite dust using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) coupled with a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) under air atmosphere has been investigated. The lignite used in this study is Tuncbilek lignite (TL), which is blended with two biomasses, olive residue (OR) and almond shell (AS), and the inorganic industrial waste, magnesite dust (MD). The blends are composed of various weight fractions of fuels,...
Combustion properties and kinetics of different biomass samples using TG-MS technique Jayaraman, Kandasamy; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Gokalp, Iskender (2017-02-01) In this research, combustion properties and kinetics of different biomass samples known as poplar wood, hazelnut shell and wheat bran were studied using thermogravimetry-mass spectrometer. Experiments were performed at three different heating rates (10, 20 and 30 A degrees C min(-1)) under air atmosphere. The reaction regions, peak and burnout temperatures, mass loss, maximum mass loss rate and residue of the biomass samples were determined. It was observed that all the biomass samples studied show similar ...
