Popis: In this study, TG/DSC analysis was used to obtain the information on the combustion behavior, profile, and thermal kinetics of Umutbaca (Turkey) lignite. The thermal analysis data were obtained from 298 to 1273 K at 1, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 K min−1 heating rates in air atmosphere at TG–DSC apparatus. It was seen that when the heating rates increased, the ignition temperature and the burn-out temperature increased. The kinetic parameters were also determined by using two model-free methods [Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO) and Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS)] and with model-fitting (Coats–Redfern). The activation energies (E a) calculated for KAS and FWO were 118 and 129 kJ mol−1, respectively. ln(A) was 18.09. It was found that diffusion mechanism [D4: (1 − 2α/3) − (1 − α)2/3] depicts the combustion process of Umutbaca-lignite by using Coats–Redfern method.
