Dayton, D., French, RJ., & Milne, TA. (1995). Direct observation of alkali vapor release during biomass combustion and gasification: 1. Application of molecular beam/mass spectrometry to switchgrass combustion. Energy and Fuels, 9(5), 855-865. https://doi.org/10.1021/ef00053a018
Electricity from biomass and biomass-derived fuels has become an attractive and viable alternative energy source. Alkali metal release during biomass combustion can cause significant problems in terms of severe fouling and slagging of heat transfer surfaces in boilers thus reducing efficiency, and in the worst case, leading ...
