TL;DR: An extended overview of the chemical composition of biomass was conducted in this article, where reference peer-reviewed data for chemical composition was used to describe the biomass system, including traditional and complete proximate, ultimate and ash analyses.

TL;DR: An extended overview of the organic and inorganic phase composition of biomass was conducted in this article, where reference peer-reviewed data and own investigations for various minor organic components and minerals, and modes of element occurrence identified in biomass were also applied and organized to describe the biomass systematically.

TL;DR: An extended overview of the phase-mineral and chemical composition and classification of biomass ash (BA) was conducted in this paper, where reference peer-reviewed data including phasemineral composition and properties of BAs plus own investigations were used to describe and organise the BA system.

TL;DR: An extended overview of the advantages and disadvantages of biomass composition and properties for biofuel application was conducted based on reference peer-reviewed data plus own investigations as mentioned in this paper, which showed that the major environmental, economic and social benefits appeared to compensate the technological and other barriers caused by the unfavourable composition of biomass.

TL;DR: In this article, an extended overview of the complex phase-mineral and chemical composition and properties of biomass ash (BA) was conducted in Part 1 of the present work and the potential application of BA using the above classification approach is described in the present Part 2.
