The potential for production of high quality bio-coal from early harvested Miscanthus by hydrothermal carbonisation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the combustion profile of the bio-coal exhibits a coal-like single stage combustion profile, which is similar to the combustion profiles of the conventional and early harvested Miscanthus.

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.
