Experimental investigation of ash behavior and emissions during combustion of Bosnian coal and biomass

Synergy effects of co-firing wooden biomass with Bosnian coal

“…The very high potassium content in the spruce sawdust ash (41 wt%) suggests, however, that the wooden biomass could cause more serious ash deposition problems than the coal, as reported in [7][8][9].…”

Analysis of biomass and sewage sludge devolatilization using the distributed activation energy model

“…Biomass is also a versa tile energy source, which can be used for power generation [2] and to produce liquid biofuels [3,4], synthesis gas [5], chemicals [6], or charcoal [7,8], via thermochemical processes such as combustion, gasification and liquefaction. Biomass pyrolysis takes place during these thermochemical processes.…”

Kinetic study on thermal decomposition of woods in oxidative environment

“…There are growing interests of developing efficient biomass thermal conversion technologies worldwide to combat climate change and provide the solutions for current energy crisis. Biomass thermochemical conversion processes including combustion, gasification and liquefaction are employed for power generation [2] and production of liquid biofuels [3][4][5], chemicals [6,7] and charcoal [1,[8][9][10][11] which can be used as activated carbon [12] for absorbent as well as domestic fuels. A good understanding of the decomposition of biomass during thermochemical conversion is important for developing efficient processing technology.…”
