Open-cycle Indirectly Fired Gas Turbine for Wet Biomass Fuels
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the efficiency of a wood-fired open cycle indirectly fired gas turbine with a high water content and showed that the performance could be improved by adding a fuel dryer driven by the flue gas.

Automatic dynamic chemical fractionation method with detection by plasma spectrometry for advanced characterization of solid biofuels
TL;DR: In this article, a flow-through dynamic leaching test capitalizing on sequential injection (SI) stirred-flow chamber (SFC) extraction is proposed as a front end to inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) for automatic and expedient evaluation of potentially mobilisable pools of ash-forming elements (viz., K, Na, Ca, Mg) in troublesome solid biofuels (namely, pine twigs) and ascertainment of the kinetics of metal release.

The Influence of Residence Time during Hydrothermal Carbonisation of Miscanthus on Bio-Coal Combustion Chemistry
Aidan M. Smith,Andrew B. Ross +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 2-L batch of bio-coal was treated by hydrothermal carbonisation in a 2L batch reactor at 200 °C and 250 °C with residence times ranging between 0 and 24 h to understand the impact of residence time has on the resulting biocoal combustion chemistry.

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.
