A Method for the Quantification of Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metallic Species in Bioslurry Fuels

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for quantification of alkali and alkaline earth metallic (AAEM) species in bioslurry fuels was proposed, which combines the evaporation step with the existing ashing-digestion-IC method.

Pretreatment of corn stover ash to improve its effectiveness as a supplementary cementitious material in concrete

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of using corn stover ash (CSA) as supplementary cementitious material to replace cement in concrete is investigated, and the influence of CSA on the hydration kinetics of cement pastes, and compressive strength and bulk electrical resistivity of concrete specimens is discussed.

A critical review of ash slagging mechanisms and viscosity measurement for low-rank coal and bio-slags

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the content, compositions, and melting characteristics of coal and biomass ashes, and discussed the formation mechanism, characteristics, and structure of slag, and reviewed the available methodologies and formulae for slag viscosity measurement/prediction and summarized the current limitations and potential applications.

Characterisation of supplementary fuels for co-combustion with pulverised coal

TL;DR: In this article, pyrolysis of supplementary fuels is experimentally investigated by laboratory scale set-ups i.e. thermogravimetric analyser and heated wire mesh.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of forest biomass residues to the energy supply chain on regional air quality

TL;DR: The results reveal that the biomass thermal plants contribute to an increment of the pollutant concentrations in the atmosphere, however restricted to the surrounding areas of the thermal plants, and most significant for NO₂ and O₃.

Wood ash composition as a function of furnace temperature

TL;DR: In this paper, the elemental and molecular composition of mineral matter in five wood types and two barks was investigated as a function of temperature using thermal gravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.

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.
