Chemical characterization of waste tire pyrolysis products
(International Advanced Researches and Engineering Journal, 2021) Ayanoğlu, Abdulkadir; Ayanoğlu, Abdulkadir; Department of Machine and Metal Technologies / Makine ve Metal Teknolojileri Bölümü
The significance of tire disposal, an attractive waste to convert into burning oil or absorber etc.,has been increasing day by day. However, if it does not change into a useful form, it will damagethe nature and the living things. Thus, pyrolysis, a well-known method, which is used to convertrecycle tire waste into gas, liquid and char. On the other hand, the waste pyrolysis oil or wastetire oil (WTO) has a substantial avaliable calorific value similar to those of fossil fuels. Due topyrolysis reaction, high amount of sulfur is detected in the WTO; therefore, another step ofexplosion applied to WTO to decrease sulfur and also re-upgrade quality of oil with suchcatalysts as Calcium Oxide (CaO) and Natural Zeolite (NZ) at a ratio from 2 to 10 with anincrease of 2 for each step, individually. It is noticed that distillation test is a key analysis forseparation discrimination of rich or lean quality fuel. As a consequence of mixture of catalystWTO reactions, the best curve was observed at a 10% CaO-WTO mixture which was close todiesel#2 and the mixture was separated into two new fuels as light (Gasoline Like Fuel orabbreviated as GLF) and heavy one (Diesel Like Fuel or shortened as DLF) due to temperaturedifferences. According to distillation, FT-IR, NMR and UV–vis were used to analyze WTO,GLF and DLF for defining their characterization as well. Thus, the characterization result data ofsamples have quasi-equivalent with standard petroleum in open literature, and can be combustedin engine as well.

Perspective of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) as a potential biodiesel feedstock in Turkey: characterization, engine performance and emissions analyses of butanol–biodiesel–diesel blends
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Ayanoğlu, Abdulkadir; Atabani A.E.; Uguz G.; Kumar G.; Arpa O.; Ayanoglu A.; Mohammed M.N.; Farouk H.; Department of Machine and Metal Technologies / Makine ve Metal Teknolojileri Bölümü
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) is widely farmed in Turkey. This study investigates the physicochemical properties of safflower biodiesel and its blends with Euro diesel and butanol. A polynomial curve-fitting method was used to predict kinematic viscosity and density of the ternary blends. Furthermore, characteristics such as DSC, FT-IR, UV-Vis and TGA were adopted to evaluate the influence of butanol addition on biodiesel–diesel blends. Engine performance parameters such as BP, torque and BSFC and emissions such as CO, HC, NOx and EGT were studied. Safflower methyl ester satisfied both EN 14214 and ASTM D 6751 standards regarding viscosity, flash point and density. However, iodine value was quite high. Oxidation stability fails to satisfy either standard. This is due to the high level of unsaturated fatty acids (91.05%). A reduction in BP, torque, HC and CO coupled with an increase in BSFC, NOx emissions and EGT was observed for all blends compared to Euro diesel. Overall, all blends appear to be good alternatives to biodiesel–diesel blends. This work supports that biodiesel can be blended with diesel and butanol as ternary blends (up to 20%) for use as a fuel in compression ignition (CI) engines. Therefore, combustion characteristics of blends shall be further investigated. © 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group
