Özet

In this work, steam co-gasification of Tunçbilek lignite and olive kernel was investigated in a lab-scale fluidized bed gasifierto evaluate the effects of temperature on gasification mechanism and synergy between lignite and olive kernel. Experimentswere carried out at temperatures ranging between 600◦C and 900◦C. Fuels were prepared with different mass fractions (0:100,25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0 olive kernel/lignite). As a result of this study, as temperature increased, the H 2 concentration insyngas increased. The optimum gasification temperature was obtained as 800◦C for both fuels and also for their co-gasification.In addition, potassium content in olive kernel enhanced the co-gasification as a natural catalyst.
