在热重分析仪上进行了稻秆半焦和神府煤与CO₂非等温混合气化实验,升温速率20℃/min,终温1200℃。实验结果表明,两种燃料在热解阶段符合加权计算规律,但是在超过800℃的高温气化阶段具有显著的协同作用。与不考虑协同作用的计算结果相比,添加稻秆半焦的煤焦气化反应速率提高,气化反应结束温度降低26℃,最大失重速率提高22%。协同作用的主要原因是稻秆半焦中碱金属具有催化作用,通过动力学分析表明混合气化活化能比煤焦单独气化要低。

桦甸油页岩热解特性的研究

在热分析仪上进行了桦甸油页岩的热解特性研究,升温速率分别为10℃/min、20℃/min、30℃/min和40℃/min,终温为900℃。实验表明油页岩的热解是分两步进行的。在低温段主要是油页岩中可挥发性的气体溢出引起热解失重;高温段则主要是一些有机质、固定碳的热解过程。低温段的热解是主要的,它基本上热解掉了油页岩重量的15％－27％左右,油页岩挥发分含量很高且具有集中析出的特性,在400℃－530℃区间内可挥发物质迅速热解守比,其在高温段的热解产率很小,只有总重量的10％左右。随着升温速率的增加低温段的高温段热解的区分更加明显,且使油页岩的热解产率提高。文中给出了不同升温速率下的桦甸油页岩热解特性数据和化学反应动力学参数。

Kinetics of crude oil combustion

In this research, thermal characterization and kinetics of Karakus crude oil in the presence of limestone matrix is investigated. Thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) is used to characterize the crude oil in the temperature range of 20-900°C, at 10°C min ^-1 heating rate using air flow rate of 20 mL min ^-1. In combustion with air, three distinct reaction regions were identified known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO). Five different kinetic methods used to analyze the TG/DTG data to identify reaction parameters as activation energy and Arrhenius constant. On the other hand different f(α) models from literature were also applied to make comparison. It was observed that high temperature oxidation temperature (HTO) activation energy of Karakus crude oil is varied between 54.1 and 86.1 kJ mol ^-1, while low temperature oxidation temperature (LTO) is varied between 6.9 and 8.9 kJ mol ^-1.     

Slow pyrolysis of pre-dried sewage sludge

This study focuses on the use of slow pyrolysis with controlled temperature increase for the thermal decomposition of pre-dried wastewater sludge. A combination of two significantly different methods was applied to investigate the pyrolysis process. The first of the experimental approaches was based on laboratory apparatus with a vertical batch retort equipped with external electrical heating. Samples of the liquid and gaseous products of the pyrolysis were taken at defined intervals throughout the pyrolysis process and were subsequently analysed. The second method involved the application of thermal analysis to the identical sludge, completed by online analysis of the pyrolysis products generated. This second method included thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results obtained by both methods demonstrate that waste water sludge can be effectively converted into pyrolysis gas and oil with good combustion properties.     

Light crude oil combustion in the presence of limestone matrix

In this study the combustion characteristics of crude oils (Karakuę and Beykan) in the presence of a limestone matrix were determined using the thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). Experiments were performed at a heating rate of 10°C min^-1, whereas the air flow rate was kept constant at 10 L h^-1 in the temperature range of 20-900°C. In combustion with air, three distinct reaction regions were identified in all crude oil/limestone mixtures studied known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO). The individual activation energies for each reaction region may be attributed to different reaction mechanisms, but they do not give any indication of the contribution of each region to the overall reactivity of the crude oils. Depending on the characteristics, the mean activation energy of samples varied between 50.3 and 55.8 kJ mol^-1.

Experimental and kinetic investigation of the pyrolysis,combustion, and gasification of deoiled asphalt

The pyrolysis, combustion, and gasification behaviors of deoiled asphalt were studied by a thermogravimetric analyzer and the kinetics were also analyzed using a multi-stage first-order integral model. All the experiments were conducted at non-isothermal conditions with heating rates range of 10–40 K min^?1 under N₂ (pyrolysis), air (combustion), or CO₂ (gasification) atmosphere, respectively. The results showed that, for pyrolysis, the reaction mainly occurred between 498 and 798 K and could be divided into two stages: the first was caused by the volatilization of small molecules and the second probably due to the cracking reactions. For combustion, the mass loss process could be divided into three stages: the devolatilization and oxidation first, the ignition and combustion of the volatiles second, and finally the combustion of the formed char. Under CO₂ atmosphere, the mass loss behavior was similar with that of the N₂ atmosphere at lower temperatures, but when the temperature was higher than 1,233 K, the gasification reaction obviously happened. The results of kinetic investigation showed that the multi-stage first-order integral method agreed well with the above experiments.     

Analysis of the thermal decomposition of commercial vegetable oils in air by simultaneous TG/DTA

This work presents a study of the thermal decomposition of commercial vegetable oils and of some of their thermal properties by termogravimetry (TG), derivative termogravimetry (DTG) and by differential thermal analysis (DTA). Canola, sunflower, corn, olive and soybean oils were studied. A simultaneous SDT 2960 TG/DTA from TA Instruments was used, with a heating rate of 10 K min^-1 from 30 to 700°C. A flow of 100 mL min^-1 of air as the purge gas was used in order to burnout the oils during analysis to estimate their heat of combustion. From the extrapolated decomposition onset temperatures obtained from TG curves, it can be seen that corn oil presents the highest thermal stability (306°C), followed by the sunflower one (304°C). Olive oil presents the lowest one (288°C). The heat of combustion of each oil was estimated from DTA curves, showing the highest value for the olive oil. Except for corn oil, which presents a significantly different thermal decomposition behavior than the other oils, a perfect linear correlation is observed, with negative slope, between the heat of combustion of an oil and its respective extrapolated onset temperature of decomposition in air. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

New view on the oxidation mechanisms of crude oil through combined thermal analysis methods

In the previous study, the oxidation behavior of four Chinese crude oils (Oil 1 to 4) in the presence and absence of rock cuttings was investigated by thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) techniques and oxidation tube experiments. The present work investigates the thermal behavior of these oils by combining DTG–DTA method. First, we conducted comparative analysis about mass loss rate from DTG curves and endothermic/exothermic phenomenon from DTA curves attempting to clarify the endothermic or exothermic mechanism in crude oil low-temperature oxidation. Finally, we combined the thermal analysis method with low-temperature oil oxidation tube experiment in porous media to ascertain, whether the two methods are consistent in the aspect of low-temperature oxidation mechanism of crude oil by O₂ consumption rate and CO₂ generating rate (carbon bond stripping reaction rate). Results show that crude oils undergo an endothermic oxidation behavior during low-temperature oxidation stage, suggesting the decomposition of hydrocarbon components. Clay can play a catalytic effect on low-temperature oil oxidation. The results of DTG–DTA tests can also better reflect oil oxidation mechanism under real conditions.     

Non-isothermal kinetic analysis and feasibilty study of medium grade crude oil field

In this research, non-isothermal kinetics and feasibility study of medium grade crude oil is studied in the presence of a limestone matrix. Experiments were performed at a heating rate of 10°C min⁻¹, whereas the air flow rate was kept constant at 50 mL min⁻¹ in the temperature range of 20 to 600°C (DSC) and 20 to 900°C (TG). In combustion with air, three distinct reaction regions were identified in all crude oil/limestone mixtures, known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO). The activation energy values were in the order of 5–9 kJ mol⁻¹ in LTO region and 189–229 kJ mol⁻¹ in HTO region. It was concluded that the medium grade crude oil field was not feasible for a self-sustained combustion process.     

Catalytic effect analysis of metallic additives on light crude oil by TG and DSC tests

This research aimed at the investigation of the effect of different metallic additive on the combustion and kinetic behavior of crude oil. For this purpose, the thermal behavior of the oil-only and oil–metallic salts mixtures were studies by the thermogravimetry (TG)/derivative thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) on heating rate at 10 °C min^?1. The result shows that Dagang crude oil exhibited apparent low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition, and high temperature oxidation processes. With the addition of metallic salts, the LTO process has been shortened and samples added CuSO₄, CrCl₃·6H₂O, and AlCl₃·6H₂O achieved a much lower peak temperature than that of oil. Based on the Arrhenius model, metallic additives were proven to have obvious influence on the combustion activation energy. And, by comprehensive analysis of TG/DSC profile and activation energy, ZnSO₄ exhibited a positive influence on light crude oil combustion during the high pressure air injection process.     

Effect of different clay concentrations on crude oil combustion kinetics by thermogravimetry

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of different clay composition and concentrations on the thermal behaviour and kinetics of heavy crude oil in limestone matrix by thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). In TG/DTG experiments, three distinct reaction regions were identified in all of the crude oil + limestone mixture known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO) respectively. Addition of clay to porous matrix significantly affected the reaction regions. Significant reduction of activation energy due to addition of clay to crude oil indicates the catalytic effect of clay on crude oil combustion.
