The implications of chlorine-associated corrosion on the operation of biomass-fired boilers
TLDR
In this paper, the potential corrosion problems associated with burning biomass fuels either alone or in blends with coal, for electricity production are discussed, and the most severe corrosion problems in biomass-fired systems are expected to occur due to Cl-rich deposits formed on superheater tubes.About:

An overview of the composition and application of biomass ash.
TL;DR: In this article, an extended overview of the complex phase-mineral and chemical composition and properties of biomass ash (BA) was conducted in Part 1 of the present work and the potential application of BA using the above classification approach is described in the present Part 2.

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.

The potential of the Malaysian oil palm biomass as a renewable energy source
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize the various forms of oil palm biomass for their important fuel and other physicochemical properties, and assesses this resource data in totality, concerning energy potential, the related biomass conversion technologies and possible combustion-related problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behaviour of Gaseous Chlorine and Alkali Metals During Biomass Thermal Utilisation
TL;DR: The behavior of gaseous chlorine and alkali metals of three sorts of biomass (Danish straw, Swedish wood, and sewage sludge) in combustion or gasification is investigated by the chemical equilibrium calculating tool as mentioned in this paper.

The effects of chlorides, hydrogen chloride, and sulfur dioxide in the oxidation of steels below deposits
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the evaporation of FeCl2(g) and its outward diffusion through the scale is the rate controlling step of the active oxidation of a low alloy steel at 500°C and high alloy steels at 600 and 700°C.

Deposition and high temperature corrosion in a 10 MW straw fired boiler
TL;DR: In this article, a 10 MW wheat straw fired stoker boiler used for combined power and heat production was investigated, and the results of the practical measurements showed that the plant experiences major problems with deposits on the heat transfer surfaces.
