Water Vapor Adsorption on Biomass Based Carbons under Post-Combustion CO2 Capture Conditions: Effect of Post-Treatment

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Other Organic Compounds in Ashes from Biomass Combustion

Power generation from biomass is a substantial source of ashes, the extent of which depends on the type of biomass fuel and technology of combustion being used. The current study focuses on comparison of ashes with a special emphasis on hazardous organic compounds, particularly the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) fraction, present in ash. The reason is that ashes from combustion of wood...

Environmental and health aspects of coal and biomass co-combustion ashes

Co-combustion is an important aspect of power generation from coal in the Netherlands and becomes increasingly important in the rest of Europe as well. To study these aspects several ashes have been sampled for many years under different firing conditions in test series, mostly at power plants. These ashes were analyzed and its properties assessed. Occupational health aspects discussed in this ...

3rd Oxyfuel Combustion Conference IMPACT OF CO2 ON BIOMASS DEVOLATILISATION, NITROGEN PARTITIONING AND CHAR COMBUSTION; A DROP TUBE FURNACE ANALYSIS

Biomass oxy-combustion is attracting considerable attention in recent times because it can achieve negative CO2 emission. While different fundamental issues of oxy-coal combustion are being tackled and pilot demonstrations have been conducted at various scales, little is known about the behaviour of biomass under oxy-fuel combustion. This paper investigates and presents the results of the devol...
