Characterisation and use of biomass fly ash in cement-based materials.
Rejini Rajamma,Richard J Ball,Luís A.C. Tarelho,GC Allen,João A. Labrincha,Victor M. Ferreira +5 more
TL;DR: The fly ashes contained significant levels of chloride and sulphate and it is suggested that the performance of fly ash-cement binders could be improved by the removal or control of these chemical species.

Energy production from biomass (Part 1): Overview of biomass.
TL;DR: The potential of a restored landfill site to act as a biomass source, providing fuel to supplement landfill gas-fuelled power stations, is examined, together with a comparison of the economics of power production from purpose-grown biomass versus waste-biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion properties of biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the properties of biomass relevant to combustion is briefly reviewed and the compositions of biomass among fuel types are variable, especially with respect to inorganic constituents important to the critical problems of fouling and slagging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion characteristics of different biomass fuels
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural, proximate and ultimate analyses of biomass and wastes differ considerably, some properties of the biomass samples such as the hydrogen content, the sulfur content and the ignition temperatures changed in a narrow interval.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion of agricultural residues
TL;DR: In this paper, various issues related to the combustion of agricultural residues are discussed, such as densification, combustion mechanisms, problems of low melting point of ash such as agglomeration and fouling, emissions and co-combustion.
