“…The 'Bamar' pellet exhibited the highest sodium content of all the samples analysed. The silica content was in the range of 43-63%, potassium 17-30%, and chlorine 1.2-6.2% according to Veijonen et al (2000), Arvelakis et al (2001), Armesto et al (2003), Aho et al (2004), and Shao et al (2012b). Interestingly, considerable contents of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium were noted in the ashes yielded by biomass combustion.…”

As a fuel, biomass differs in its properties from fossil fuels and acquisition thereof for energy purposes is limited; hence, the ongoing search for new bioenergetically useful plants. The article presents the results of physical and chemical analyses of seven species of perennial grasses: tall wheatgrass, tall wheatgrass ‘Bamar’, brome grass, tall fescue ecotype, reed canary grass, giant miscanthus, and sorghum. The research involved technical and elemental analysis as well as analysis of the ash composition performed in order to determine their potential use for combustion process. The measurement results were compared with those obtained for hard coal and agricultural biomass, which is widely used in the energy industry. The results suggest that perennial grasses can successfully be combusted with similar performance to coal if burned in appropriate combustion installations.

This paper presents a concise overview of ash deposition in combustion or co-firing of biomass (woody biomass, agricultural residues, peat, etc.) with other fuels for power/heat generation. In this article, the following five research aspects on biomass combustion ash deposition are reviewed and discussed: influence of biomass fuel characteristics, deposit-related challenges, ash deposition monitoring and analysis of ash deposits, mechanisms and chemistry of fly ash deposition, and key technologies for reducing ash deposition and corrosion in biomass-involved combustion.

“…Paramount among these are fouling, slagging, agglomeration and corrosion. This problem has been studied by a number of researchers and some potential solutions have been developed [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Steenari et al [8] studied the formation of crystalline compounds and high-temperature reactions in wheat straw ash and sintering and melting behaviors during the straw combustion, and found the formation of crystalline compounds such as carbonates, sulfates and chlorides in low-temperature processes.…”

“…Water leaching has been suggested by many authors to be an efficient, fast and low cost way to significantly reduce the inorganic constituents' content of the biomass [1,3,7]. It cannot only remove the water-soluble inorganic elements, such as K, Na, Ca, Cl, S, and Mg, but also, in the process of thermal conversion of biomass, improve the quality of the remaining ash [1,3,5,25].…”
