Factors that influence the explosiveness of wood dust, like particle size distribution, moisture
content and microscopic structure, have been characterised. Sawdust flammability has been …

As the use of biomass as a carbon-neutral energy source increases, so does the need for
storage facilities, especially for those that are highly seasonal. Consequently, the stored …

The challenges of the modern world largely concern the energy sector and determine the
search for new environmentally friendly and, above all, renewable energy sources. We can …

With the global goal of minimising energy dependence on fossil fuels, biomass is taking on a
crucial role, not only as an energy source, but also as a means of reducing greenhouse gas …

Humic acids (HA) consist in a multitude of heterogeneous organic molecules surviving the
biological and chemical degradation of both vegetal and animal biomasses. The great …

As a highly flammable biomass dust, the explosion potential of wood dust has been widely
recognized. However, compared with wood dust, other larger-sized wood processing by …

Abstract “Marginally explosible dusts (MEDs)” are a group of combustible dusts that are
distinguished by relatively low volume-normalized maximum rate of pressure rise (K St) and …

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on six samples of pine wood, poplar
sawdust and olive residue, and the kinetic parameters were evaluated by using …

Use of woody biomass instead of coal as fuel for thermal power plants (TPP) is considered a
promising direction for reducing emissions of anthropogenic substances during the …
