Straw quality for its combustion in a straw-fired power plant

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possibility of improving the fuel quality of straw by a reduction in its K + and Cl − contents, and found that the content of K+ was not influenced by the applied amount of K + fertilizer.

Multi‐criteria assessment of yellow, green, and woody biomasses: pre‐screening of potential biomasses as feedstocks for biorefineries

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the use of multiple-criteria decision-making techniques as tools for assessing criteria and to draw preferences among the alternatives, and show that the most preferred biomass types are: grass-clover 2.8, wheat-straw 1.2, and willow 1, respectively.

Production of hydrocarbons from a green algae (Oscillatoria) with exploration of its fuel characteristics over different reaction atmospheres

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted non-catalytic, catalytic, and hydropyrolysis at 550°C temperature and 1'bar pressure to produce biofuels from an ignored algal biomass of Oscillatoria by thermo-chemical degradation study in a tubular reactor having an internal diameter of 25''mm and 300''mm of active length covered by a furnace of a single heating zone.

Influence of Peat Ash Composition on Particle Emissions and Slag Formation in Biomass Grate Co-combustion

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used three different peat types with the objective to elucidate how the variation in peat ash composition influences both particle emissions and slag formation during co-combustion with three different biomasses in a small-scale pellet boiler.

Ash deposition during biomass and coal combustion: A mechanistic approach

TL;DR: In this article, a mechanistic approach to describing the fate of inorganic material in solid fuels with a particular focus on the mechanisms of ash deposition is presented. But this approach has the potential of embracing a large range of fuel variations, combustor types, and operating conditions without the need of developing extensive databases or testing procedures for each new situation.
