Journal of Physical Chemistry and Functional Materials, 4(1), 34-38.2651-3080https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/jphcfum/issue/62590/936759https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12899/815Carbonization is the general name of the process of producing gas, liquid and solid products, especially from fossil fuels such as coal, by heating in an oxygen-free environment. Carbonization is one of the most important transformation processes to obtain high-quality solid (char), gas and liquid products. Fossil-based resources such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are not suitable for long-term use, as they are both limited and harm the environment. Therefore, for energy continuity, it is necessary to benefit from renewable energy sources such as biomass along with fossil fuels. By burning the char obtained from the carbonization of coal and biomass, it is possible to reduce the contents such as SO2 and NOx that pollute the atmosphere. In this study, carbonization experiments of lignite and pistachio shell at different mixing ratios and temperatures was carried out. The higher heating values and C, H, N, S contents of the chars obtained from each experiment were determined. With the increasing temperature and biomass ratio, positive changes have been observed in the obtained clean fuel.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLigniteBiomassCarbonizationEnergyArticle413438
