Studies on Characterization of Corn Cob for Application in a Gasification Process for Energy Production

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential of corn cob for gasification with respect to its intrinsic properties such as moisture, volatile matter, and fixed carbon contents, and found that the three major elemental components (C, H, and O) including its clearly exhibited fiber cells make corn cob a suitable feedstock for gaseous conversion.

Use of biomass ash-based materials as soil fertilisers: Critical review of the existing regulatory framework

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a discussion on biomass ash properties and related EU regulations, notably the Waste Framework Directive and the Fertilisers Regulation, which are relevant for implementing a strategy for valorisation of biomass ash for soil amelioration purposes.

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.
