Energetic characterization of densified residues from Pyrenean oak forest
TL;DR: In this article, the results obtained from the characterization and analysis of different types of pelletized residues of the Pyrenean oak were presented in order to find out if different pretreatments for the residues, according to their branch size, are necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel hydrothermal method to convert incineration ash into pollucite for the immobilization of a simulant radioactive cesium.
TL;DR: Results revealed that pollucite could be synthesized readily over a wide range of added Cs, and suggested that this technology may be applied directly to the solidification of Cs-polluted incineration ashes, which can be applied to immobilize Cs directly.

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.
