Abstract:

Coal and biomass blend taking part of renewable energy sources and best option to satisfy the environment regarding pollution. In this paper TGA analysis of lignite coal, tree leaves and their blends were under study. The main purpose is to see thermal characteristic of coal and tree leaves using Thermogravimetric Test. The proposed TGA method utilizes 90c ambient temperature. The samples were dewatered at the temperature ranges up to 102-109oC.the maximum volatile matter achieve when we increase the amount of tree leaves and for as fixed carbon (char burning)is concerned the maximum amount for char burning is LC90+TL10 . The blending ratio of coal and biomass has many favorable conditions regarding dewatering, devoltization and char burning.
