A pilot-scale investigation of ash and deposition formation during oil-palm empty-fruit-bunch (EFB) combustion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated EFB firing in a pilot-scale reciprocating grate-fired combustor with a 150kWth capacity and found that KCl deposits mainly formed on the upstream side of the probe and comprised two distinct layers, i.e., a thin white inner layer and a gray outer layer.

A Review on Biomass Gasification: Effect of Main Parameters on Char Generation and Reaction
TL;DR: The reaction between char and gasifying agents are usually the controlling step and of a core role for the overall biomass gasification process due to the relatively low reaction rate as mentioned in this paper, however, this is not always the case.

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.
