Abstract
The effect of demineralization on conversion of Soma Lignite in supercritical water extraction was studied using a batch autoclave operated at 400, 450 and 500 °C under nitrogen atmosphere. The experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of mineral matter and temperature on gaseous, liquid, residue yield and composition of gaseous products. According to the results, main product in gaseous state is CO 2. Temperature is key factor affecting product distribution when compared the effect of minerals in lignite. As temperature was increased, yield of gas and solid residue increased, while yields of liquid decreased for raw and demineralized lignite samples. The removal of mineral matter caused to decrease the conversion for all lignite samples and to increase the carbon content of solid residue in supercritical water extraction.
