Release of Cl, S, P, K, and Na during thermal conversion of algal biomass
Daniel J. Lane,Philip J. van Eyk,Peter J. Ashman,C.W. Kwong,Rocky de Nys,David A. Roberts,Andrew J. Cole,David Lewis +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the release of volatile inorganic elements during thermal conversion of algal biomass may cause operational problems in industrial reactors such as fouling, deposition, corrosion, and bed agglomeration.

Enhanced bio-ethanol production from Chlorella sp. biomass by hydrothermal pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis
TL;DR: In this article, a response surface analysis was used to determine the conditions for pretreatment of microalgae biomass by acid-hydrothermal and the analysis suggested the use of 20% biomass in 1.5% sulfuric acid at 117°C for 20min as suitable for the pretreatment as it resulted in the maximum ethanol of 5.62 ± 0.16

Inorganic Composition and Environmental Impact of Biomass Feedstock
TL;DR: The main effect of ashing is bonding of oxygen in the ash mainly as silicate, oxides, hydroxides, phosphates, and carbonate residual minerals.

Generation of crystalline silica from sugarcane burning.
Jennifer S. Le Blond,Jennifer S. Le Blond,Claire J. Horwell,Ben J. Williamson,Clive Oppenheimer +4 more
TL;DR: The absence of crystalline silica in the airborne emissions and lack of cristobalite in trash ash suggest that high temperatures during pre-harvest burning were not sustained long enough for cristovalite to form, which is supported by the presence of low temperature sylvite and calcite in the residual ash.

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.
