TLDR
In this paper, a review of the properties of biomass relevant to combustion is briefly reviewed and the compositions of biomass among fuel types are variable, especially with respect to inorganic constituents important to the critical problems of fouling and slagging.About:

Investigation of the pyrolysis behaviour of brown algae before and after pre-treatment using PY-GC/MS and TGA
TL;DR: The pyrolysis behavior of brown macroalgae (seaweeds) collected in the UK such as Laminaria hyperborea and Fucus vesticulosus, are compared with the tropical algae Macrocystis pyrifera as mentioned in this paper.

Genetic Improvement of Sorghum as a Biofuel Feedstock: II. QTL for Stem and Leaf Structural Carbohydrates
Seth C. Murray,William L. Rooney,Sharon E. Mitchell,Arun Sharma,Patricia E. Klein,Patricia E. Klein,John E. Mullet,Stephen Kresovich +7 more
TL;DR: To maximize energy yields from grain and dedicated biomass sorghums, results suggest yield traits should be targeted for improvement before composition traits.

Hidden interactions—Trace species governing combustion and emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed how N, S, Cl, and K/Na species, typically present in small quantities, may affect the overall combustion process, as well as the formation or transformation of each other.

A review on advances of torrefaction technologies for biomass processing
TL;DR: Torrefaction is a thermochemical pretreatment process at 200-300°C in an inert condition which transforms biomass into a relatively superior handling, milling, co-firing and clean renewable energy into solid biofuel This increases the energy density, water resistance and grindability of biomass and makes it safe from biological degradation.

Upgrading the characteristics of biochar from cellulose, lignin, and xylan for solid biofuel production from biomass by hydrothermal carbonization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the properties of the main lignocellulosic components of cellulose, xylan, and lignin and found that the C/O and C/H ratios of all of the obtained biochars were similar to those of lignite and sub-bituminous coal.

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.
