Abstract
Rhododendron ponticum L. is a woody biomass commonly found in the Western Black Sea region of Turkey. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of Rhododendron ponticum L. in the energy field. For this purpose, Rhododendron ponticum L. was carbonized in a semi pilot Jenkner carbonization system at a heating rate of 3°C/min at temperatures of 350 and 550°C for 1 h. Structural characterization of the obtained liquid (biotar) and solid (biochar) products was investigated. The chemical characterization of biotar was carried out with elemental and proximate analyses, FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The structural characterization of biochar was also investigated by elemental analysis, proximate analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and SEM images.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes scientific developments and applications in the field of coal beneficiation and preparation for coking, coking processes, design of coking ovens and equipment, by-product recovery, automation of technological processes, ecology and economics. It also presents indispensable information on the scientific events devoted to thermal rectification, use of smokeless coal as an energy source, and manufacture of different liquid and solid chemical products.
