Ash Characterization of Four Residual Wood Fuels in a 100 kW_th Circulating Fluidized Bed Reactor Including the Use of Kaolin and Halloysite Additives

Solid biomass ash related issues and adequate fuel characterization, especially for fuels with similar thermochemical properties, are still major challenges in combustion. As a consequence, the fuel switching and the valorization of unconventional available fuels are hazardous. An integrated strategy to characterize biomass fuels for ash related issues is applied to four residual woody fuels, namely, a mesquite wood mixture, rubberwood, an...
