Biochar as a Fuel: 2. Significant Differences in Fuel Quality and Ash Properties of Biochars from Various Biomass Components of Mallee Trees
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show the significant differences in the fuel quality and ash properties of biochars produced from the slow pyrolysis of various biomass components (leaf, wood, and bark).

Biofuel component concentrations and yields of switchgrass in South Central U.S. environments.
TL;DR: Switchgrass biofuel production efforts in the south-central USA should focus on improving DMY of southern lowland genotypes to maximize lignocellulose yields, but management factors may be more effective in optimizing moisture, ash, and mineral concentrations for combustion.

Dynamic mechanistic model of superheater deposit growth and shedding in a biomass fired grate boiler
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic mathematical model of ash deposit growth and shedding on a horizontal cooled probe in a straw fired grate boiler has been developed and validated, including submodels of deposition (impaction, thermophoresis, Brownian and eddy diffusion, and condensation) and shedding by deposit surface melting.

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.
