Fertigation of Arundo donax L. with different nitrogen rates for biomass production
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of nitrogen fertigation on Arundo donax grown in low fertility soil, under a continental Mediterranean climate, was investigated, and three levels of nitrogen supply (N) were studied: 0,N (0,kg-a−1 year−1), 60,N (60,kga−a year− 1); and 120,N(120,kgaa−a −1 year −1). Biometric parameters, leaf chlorophyll content, leaf weight percentage, biomass production and biomass quality as well as soil macronutrient

TL;DR: The extent to which cellulase enzymes are able to hydrolyze solvent-pretreated biomass can be understood in terms of the ability of the solvent to break the chemical linkages between cellulose and non-cellulosic materials in the cell wall.

In Situ Measurement of Potassium Release during Biomass Combustion Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy: Effect of Silicate on Potassium Release
TL;DR: In this article, an improved calibration method for the in situ measurement of potassium (K) concentration in the flame field was developed using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIS).

Multi-scale chemistry modeling of the thermochemical conversion of biomass in a fluidized bed gasifier
TL;DR: In this article, the multiple scales of the chemical conversion of solid biomass in a fluidized bed biomass gasifier as well as the influence of transport processes are analyzed and detailed models are developed capable of predicting reactor performance over a wide range of operating conditions on industrially relevant (fast) computational timescales.

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.
