Evaluation of bottom ash slagging risk during combustion of herbaceous and woody biomass fuels in a small-scale boiler by principal component analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a new fuel index was proposed to predict bottom ash slagging during combustion, based on empirical correlations with parameters relevant for slagging behavior, e.g., ash melting temperatures or slag fraction of the bottom ash.

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.
