Stability of Transition‐metal Carbides in Liquid Phase Reactions Relevant for Biomass‐Based Conversion
Luana Souza Macedo,Luana Souza Macedo,Daniel R. Stellwagen,Victor Teixeira da Silva,Johannes H. Bitter +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main routes of deactivation in liquid phase biobased conversions are coke deposition, crystallite growth, leaching and oxidation, and the crystallite size of the carbide is related to deactivation by oxidation.

Effects of design features on combustion efficiency and emission performance of a biomass-fuelled fluidized-bed combustor
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of some measures leading to intensification of the combustion process in a biomass-fuelled fluidized-bed combustor with a cone-shape bed was presented.

Biomass production and potential ethanol yields of shrub willow hybrids and native willow accessions after a single 3-year harvest cycle on marginal lands in central Minnesota, USA
TL;DR: Four of the shrub willow hybrids evaluated have a greater potential for use as biomass energy crops on marginal lands in central Minnesota than the native willow accessions; hence, there is a need to test their potential at a larger scale.

Effect of nitrogen fertilizer application rate on yield, methane and nitrous oxide emissions from switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.)
TL;DR: Wile et al. as mentioned in this paper measured plant biomass production (yield and ash content) and greenhouse gas emissions (methane and nitrous oxide), from the bioenergy crops switchgrass (SG; Panicum virgatum L.) and reed canarygrass (RCG; Phalaris arundinacea L.) receiving spring application of nitrogen fertilizer at 0, 40 and 120 kg N ha−1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal carbonisation of mechanically dewatered digested sewage sludge-Energy and nutrient recovery in centralised biogas plant.
TL;DR: In this article, the role of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) in digestate processing in centralised biogas plants receiving dewatered sludge from regional wastewater treatment plants and producing biomethane and fertilisers.

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.
