Development of reduced mechanisms applicable to CFD modeling of NOx emissions from biomass combustion

i Preface The report deals with development of reduced kinetic mechanisms for ammonia oxidation that can be used for CFD modeling of NO x formation in biomass combustors. A computer code CARM was tested for generation of the reduced mechanisms. Berkeley. We want to thank him for supplying us with the code, as well as helping us to get started. The report firstly describes shortly the general me...

Carbon Emissions from Biomass Burning

Characterization of Feed Streams and Emissions from Biomass Gasification/Combustion at Fuel Ethanol Plants

Fuel and emission characteristics of co-products of the ethanol dry-grind process [distillers wet grains (DWG), concentrated distillers solubles (referred to as “syrup”), and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS)], and corn stover are evaluated. Biomass co-products from the dry-grind ethanol production process, particularly DDGS, are good sources for the electrical and thermal energy nee...

Organic compounds in biomass smoke from residential wood combustion: Emissions characterization at a continental scale

[1] Wood smoke in the atmosphere often accounts for 20–30% of the ambient fineparticle concentrations. In communities where wood is burned for home heating, wood smoke can at times contribute the majority of the atmospheric fine-particle burden. Chemical mass balance receptor models that use organic compounds as tracers can be used to determine the contributions of different emission sources, i...
