Municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration plays an important role in waste treatment systems
throughout the world, due to the advantages of fast volume reduction by 80–90%, heat …

Biomass fuels differ in many ways from the conventional fossil fuels used in combustion
processes, such as coal. They often have high moisture contents, lower heating values, and …

Corrosion induced by chlorine during biomass combustion is a major drawback to the
consolidation of this technology. The current literature brings valuable information on these …

Finland and Sweden are leaders in the use of biomass fuels in large-scale boilers. In these
countries, the dominating large-scale combustion technology for biomass fuels is fluidized …

The high-temperature corrosion of high velocity air-fuel (HVAF) thermal spray Ni21Cr, Ni5Al,
and Ni21Cr7AlY coatings was investigated at 600° C for 168 h in ambient air under KCl and …

Thermodynamic modeling is used as a tool to predict the chemistry of ash-forming elements
in biomass and waste combustion for corrosion-or deposition-related issues. One major …

Combustion of a biomass with an enhanced content of chlorine can result in operational
problems including deposit formation and superheater corrosion. The strategies applied to …

Alkali chlorides deposited on superheater tubes are known to cause corrosion in boilers
burning biofuels and waste. The objective of this work was to compare the corrosivities of …

The oxidation of 304-type (Fe18Cr10Ni) austenitic stainless steel was investigated at 500
and 600° C in 5% O 2+ 40% H 2 O. Prior to exposure the samples were sprayed with KCl, K …

Currently there is an increasing interest on a new generation of low cost biomass fuels
derived from human activities like wood and forestry residues, crop residues and refuse …
