This paper presents a review of the environmental impacts of most heating systems drawing
together published literature on the subject, not previously available. Here, a comparison …

Biomass is a renewable and clean energy source, offering the potential to reduce fossil fuel
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions when it is used as a biofuel. However, the …

Nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) are primary pollutants produced during biomass combustion. During
the devolatilization stage, char nitrogen (char (N)) is formed. In the subsequent char …

Persistent free radicals (PFRs) may cause negative impacts to human health and the
environment because of the induced reactive oxygen species. We expect that PFRs could …

Moving grate boilers are widely used in the combustion of solid biomass at industrial scale
for heat and power production. This type of systems allows to use wide range of fuels …

In this work, the effects of different torrefaction temperatures and durations on the
physicochemical properties of rice straw (RS), and the emission characteristic of PM 10 …

Biomass combustion for heat and power generation is one of the best ways for substituting
fossil fuels. It is necessary to develop in situ temperature and emissivity measurement …

The utilization of biomass energy is attracting worldwide attention due to the worsening
energy crisis and the concerns on carbon dioxide emission. However, the rapidly …

Emission reduction of PM 10 (of an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm or less) was
investigated via the combustion of biochar pre-treated from straw by torrefaction at 300° C (T …

The fly ash formation during suspension combustion of five different biomass powders (stem
wood, bark, forest residue, willow, and reed canary grass) and the corresponding products …
