Experimental study on ash fusion characteristics of biomass

In this study, ash fusion characteristics (AFC) of biomass red pine, corn straw, Bermuda grass and bamboo are investigated. Results of this study show that ash melting temperatures are higher when samples are ashed at 815 °C than at 600 °C, but the differences are small. The ash deformation temperatures of pine and straw are over 1100 °C, but the ash deformation temperatures of Bermuda grass and bamboo are lower than the former biomass. Also,...
