Review of physicochemical properties and analytical characterization of lignocellulosic biomass
Junmeng Cai,Yifeng He,Xi Yu,Scott W. Banks,Yang Yang,Xingguang Zhang,Yang Yu,Ronghou Liu,Anthony V. Bridgwater +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of physicochemical properties of lignocellulosic biomass, including particle size, grindability, density, flowability, moisture sorption, thermal properties, proximate analysis properties, elemental composition, energy content and chemical composition, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineral composition and ash content of six major energy crops.
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical composition of biofuels has not received adequate attention given that it is an important aspect in the introduction of energy crops in the past few decades, and the authors compared the respective recommended thresholds reported in literature.

An overview of the behaviour of biomass during combustion: Part I. Phase-mineral transformations of organic and inorganic matter
TL;DR: An extended overview of phase-mineral transformations of organic and inorganic matter that occur during biomass combustion was conducted in this article, where it was demonstrated that the phase composition of BA is polycomponent, heterogeneous and variable and includes: (1) mostly inorganic material (IM) composed of non-crystalline (amorphous) and crystalline to semiscale constituents; (2) subordinately organic matter (OM) consisting of char and organic minerals; and (3) some fluid matter associated with both IM and OM.

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.
