Choice of bed material: a critical parameter in the optimization of dual fluidized bed systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the bed material on the performance of a dual-fluidized bed (DFB) gasifier has been investigated, and it was shown that high levels of alkali entail a risk of bed agglomeration, and that the transport of alkalis from the boiler to the gasifier is the major factor influencing the gas composition.

Combustion of Pulverized Biomass Crop Residues and Their Explosion Characteristics
TL;DR: In this paper, two Pakistani crop residues, bagasse (B) and wheat straw (WS), were milled to <63 µm and the ISO 1 m3 explosion equipment was used to investigate flame propagation in the dispersed cloud of pulverized biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
A semi-empirical approach towards predicting producer gas composition in biomass gasification
TL;DR: The paper provides a comparison of five distinct models, often used in thermodynamic equilibrium modeling that allows the study of feedstock effect on gasification process, formulated and solved using MATLAB software.

Straw combustion in circulating fluidized bed at low-temperature: Transformation and distribution of potassium
TL;DR: In this paper, a pilot-scale circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustor (0.5 MW) was applied to combust rice straw, and the combustion temperature was kept at a low level (lower than 700 degrees C) to reduce the transformation of potassium.

Co-gasification and co-combustion of industrial solid waste mixtures and their implications on environmental emissions, as an alternative management
Carlos F. Valdés,Gloria Marrugo,Farid Chejne,Alfredo Marin-Jaramillo,Jorge Franco-Ocampo,Liliana Norena-Marin +5 more
TL;DR: Co-pelletization of the Primary Sludge with two other principal Industrial Solid Residues of the plant was proposed as a way to valorize the PS for energy use, while reducing dewatering costs, and the environmental implications of the thermal co-processing of the wastes were assessed.

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.
