Abstract:Biomass combustion
equipment is often susceptible to ash deposition
due to the relatively significant quantities of potassium, silicon,
and other ash-forming elements in biomass. To evaluate the propensity
for ash deposition resulting from biomass combustion, a biomass combustion
model was integrated with a chemical equilibrium model to predict
the fate and occurrence of ash-forming elements in a pilot-scale entrained-flow
burner. The integrated model simulated the combustion of white wood
(virgin wood) and re… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
