Direct combustion of biomass
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the large-scale combustion of solid biomass to produce heat and power without co-firing of fossil fuels and introduce the combustion process with a specific focus on issues important in the combustion of the solid biomass such as the condition and chemical properties of the biomass fuel, the increased fouling and corrosion of heating surfaces associated with biomass compared to fossil fuels, and ash properties and sintering problems.

Combustion of Corn Stover Bales in a Small 146-kW Boiler
TL;DR: In this article, corn stover was used for direct combustion in a 146 kW dual-chamber boiler designed for wood logs, and small stover bales (8.83 ± 0.90 kg) were placed manually in the upper combustion chamber at a rate of 10.5 to 12.8 kg/h over a 24-h period, with three replications, and compared to a control wood combustion trial (12.1 kg/H during 24 h).

Condensation Behaviors of Potassium during Biomass Combustion
TL;DR: In this article, a one-dimensional down-fired furnace and a novel condensation probe were used to analyze the microstructure and elemental composition of condensation products at different temperatures, and the results showed that the condensation temperatures of KCl, K2SO4 and their mixture were 770 ± 4, 745 ± 6, and 764 ± 10 °C, respectively.

Fuel indices for estimation of slagging of phosphorus-poor biomass in fixed bed combustion
TL;DR: The market for solid biofuels will grow rapidly during the coming years, and there will be a great demand for raw materials as mentioned in this paper. This will force the existing fuel base to also cover wooden materials of...

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.
