Co-firing of paper mill sludge and coal in an industrial circulating fluidized bed boiler.
TL;DR: The preliminary results show that emissions of SOx and Nx decrease with increasing sludge feeding rate, but CO shows the reverse tendency due to the decrease in combustion temperature caused by a large amount of moisture in the sludge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass co-firing trials on a down-fired utility boiler
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the practical combustion issues encountered with biomass co-firing on a large scale trial in a 500 MW down fired utility boiler at Aberthaw power station.

Comparison of liquid and vapor hydrothermal carbonization of corn husk for the use as a solid fuel
Jamie Minaret,Animesh Dutta +1 more
TL;DR: The effect of the phase during the hydrothermal carbonization of corn husk was studied to determine whether liquid water or water vapor was the more suitable reaction medium, as well as if the HTC process could produce a solid fuel from green corn husks that was comparable to 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.
