THERMOGRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS OF OIL SHALE SEMI-COKE/BIOMASS BLENDS; pp. 284–295 [PDF]
Oil Shale, 2011 The combustion behavior of different kinds of biomass (corn stalks, straw, rice husks, sawdust) and oil shale semi-coke and their blends was invesÂtigated. Non-isothermal thermogravimetric experiments were performed with different atmospheres (N2:O2=8:2,

Particulate emission from biomass combustion [PDF]
Nature, 2001 Mixing dried human sewage sludge with pulverized coal is being evaluated as a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from traditionally coal-fired power plants, as well as to overcome sewage-disposal problems. Here we investigate the effects of inhaling particles emitted from the combustion of this mixture and find that these cause significantly more ...

Factors Affecting Emission Concentrations in Small Heat Sources
Communications, 2015 Combustion of biomass fuel itself as a renewable energy source does not automatically ensure the best use of its energy content with low emission production. Biomass combustion with bad settings of combustion conditions can be ineffective and with a high
