The effects of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEM) on the component and distribution of
products, gasification reactivity, catalytic mechanism and char-ash/slag transition during …

The increasing demand for energy and diminishing sources of fossil fuels have called for the
discovery of new energy sources. The effective energy conversion process of biomass is …

Biomass accounts for the largest renewable energy in the world, whereas its inherent
drawbacks, such as low energy and mass density, hydrophilicity, poor grindability and …

The purpose of this paper is to review the present knowledge on ash formation, ash particle
transport and deposition during solid fuel combustion, with emphasis on particle sticking and …

Biomass is increasingly perceived as a renewable resource rather than as an organic solid
waste today, as it can be converted to various chemicals, biofuels, and solid biochar using …

Biomass pyrolysis is a promising renewable sustainable source of fuels and petrochemical
substitutes. It may help in compensating the progressive consumption of fossil-fuel reserves …

In this work about pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, the individual reaction mechanisms of
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are initially described. The recent advances in the …

Microwave based technology is an alternative heating method and has already been
successfully used in biomass pyrolysis for biochar and biofuel production thanks to its fast …

The impact of additives addition on the combustion behavior of biomass with high content in
ash-forming species is evaluated in this review. Their influence on both emissions …

An extended overview of the phase–mineral and chemical composition and classification of
biomass ash (BA) was conducted. Some general considerations related to the composition …
