Slagging and fouling are common problems associated with biomass firing. The different
nature of the mineral and phase composition of biomass ash makes the vast experience with …

Exhaustion of fossil fuel resources, shrinking forest areas, with accompanying deterioration
of their quality and striving (also of the society) to make forests perform their ecological …

Woody biomass is an abundant, renewable energy source. Forest residue is the fraction
remaining after harvest and the outtake of wood timber, including tree tops and bark …

Slow pyrolysis is a complex process that can convert biomass and waste into valuable
products. An improved understanding of the influence of process conditions and feedstocks …

In this paper, experimental investigations on oxy-steam gasification of biomass in downdraft
packed bed reactor are presented; propagation regimes and the associated hydrogen yield …

Food waste is an underutilized organic resource given its abundance and high potential
energy. The purpose of this study was to confirm the suitability of pyrolyzed food waste as a …

One of the important fuel properties is ash melting. Fuel with high ash sintering is not
applicable for most of the boilers. Sintering is the process that can occur in the burner and …

This work intended to compare ash composition and deposition tendencies biomasses and
of torrefied products of SRC poplar clones and common broom. These biomasses were …

The temperature at which coal ash melts has a significant impact on the operation of a coal-
fired boiler. The coal ash fusion temperature (AFT) is determined by its chemical …

The corrosive effects of biomass ash on refractory materials in combustion chambers pose
challenges. Development of new castable refractory materials which are more resistant to …
