Biomass as an energy source contributes to a decrease in the dependence on imported
fossil fuels, while at the same time, adding value to the countries where biomass fuel …

Biomass fuels differ in many ways from the conventional fossil fuels used in combustion
processes, such as coal. They often have high moisture contents, lower heating values, and …

Phosphorus is vital for all life, which means that phosphorus is present in all biomass to
some extent. Some types of biomass, such as certain agricultural residues, animal biomass …

Agglomeration inhibits the smooth operation of fluidized-bed reactors by forming relatively
large agglomerates to interrupt fluidization during gasification or combustion processes …

Over 30% and∼ 2%(on a carbon basis) organic matter can be leached from mallee leaf and
wood by water, respectively, producing acidic leachates containing organic acids. As a …

The bed agglomeration characteristics during combustion of typical biomass fuels were
determined in a bench-scale bubbling fluidized-bed reactor (5 kW) using olivine and quartz …

Agricultural biomasses and residues can play an important role in the global bioenergy
system but their potential is limited by the risk of several ash-related problems such as …

Biomass is a heterogeneous material with respect to its chemical composition due to
different plant species and components as well as the potential content of impurities …

Interactions between fuel ash and bed material, which lead to agglomeration, are impeding
a widespread use of alternative biomass fuels for energy conversion in fluidized-bed boilers …

Alkali is a problematic component in biomass and may create various operation issues in
normal combustion as well as chemical looping combustion using biomass fuels (bio-CLC) …
