Abstract Due to an increased awareness of climate change and limited fossil resources, the demand for alternative energy carriers such as biomass has risen significantly during past years. This development is supported by idea a transition bio‐based economy reducing fossil‐based carbon dioxide emissions. Based on this trend, expected be used in EU mainly heating until end decade. The perennial herbaceous mallow plant Sida hermaphrodita (L.) Rusby (‘Sida’) high potential purposes. Different...
The market for products containing engineered nanomaterial (ENM) is constantly expanding. At the end of their lifecycle, a significant fraction will be disposed as ENM-containing waste in thermal treatment plants. Up to now there are still uncertainties on fate and behaviour ENM during incineration. In our investigations, nano titanium dioxide (nTiO2) was selected an example ENM, because its high amount consumer relevance stream. Two test series were conducted at municipal solid incineration...
The significant progress in energy demands and limited fossil fuel sources, together with environmental concerns, have enforced the study of green, renewable, sustainable sources. Biomass its residues can be converted into valued fuels chemicals through advanced thermal conversion technologies. Pyrolysis has been used for a long time charcoal formation, while intermediate fast pyrolysis technologies become considerable interest recent years. This substantial is because these processes...
Sugarcane bagasse is commonly combusted to generate energy. Unfortunately, recycling strategies rarely consider the resulting ash as a potential fertilizer. To evaluate this strategy for sustainable circular economy, we characterized fertilizer and measured effects of co-gasification co-combustion with either chicken manure or sewage sludge: on phosphorus (P) mass fraction, P-extractability, mineral P phases. Furthermore, investigated ashes soybeans under greenhouse conditions. All methods...
The Brazilian sugarcane industry produced around 173 million tons (Mt) of bagasse in 2018. Bagasse is a by-product juice extraction for ethanol and sugar production combusted order to generate power, producing up 10 Mt ash per year. This contains various concentrations plant nutrients, which allow the be used as crop fertilizer. However, concentration extractability phosphorus (P), an essential nutrient, are low ash. To increase P content, we co-gasified co-combusted with P-rich chicken...
The heterogeneity of biogenic fuels, and especially residues with regard to water ash content, particle size distribution is challenging for biomass combustion, limits fuel flexibility. Online characterization as a part process control could help optimize combustion processes, increase flexibility reduce emissions. In this research article, concept new sensor module presented first tests are displayed show its feasibility. based on the principle hot air convective drying. idea pass warm 90...
Despite many years of experience in the incineration solid fuels from waste, heterogeneity and their varying properties still pose a challenge for stable clean combustion large-scale plants. In modern facilities such as municipal waste plants there exists lack knowledge on exact amount calorific value entering onto grate. Based works Warnecke et al. Zwiellehner al., our project ‘AdOnFuelControl’, we determined initial bulk density at feed hopper by measuring weight via crane weigher volume...
Stricter emission limits and low prices for fossil fuels are considerable challenges biomass combustion technologies. Solutions provided with an innovative boiler concept developed within the last years. Due to its design, can be operated in different modes as a combi-boiler solid gaseous fuels. In standard mode, is used fuel. Switching fuel staging mode enables reduction of higher NOx emissions. The experiments demonstrate that rates up 50 % possible. load times or if it makes sense from...
The testing and development of an electro-thermal post-combustion system for single-room fireplaces is the focus this article. aim to reduce carbon monoxide (CO) emissions particulate matter traditional fireplaces, which typically have high pollutants, at least in some combustion phases. Those are nowadays a problem even wider use wood domestic heating, otherwise renewable source energy. was tested fireplace available on market. It heated by electric heating element temperature enough ignite...
Abstract The idea of this innovative filter concept is to combine three individual flue gas technology treatment systems into one product be more economic and efficient. central part the a ceramic candle, which used for common dust separation. material activated with modified catalysts enable selective catalytic reduction at low temperatures (150–200 °C). To reduce acid components while simultaneously increasing separation, candle surface precoated an absorbent. developed suitable many...
Within a national funded Brazilian-German cooperation project ASHES, the thermal utilization of bagasse and other residuals from sugar processing industry was examined. The characterization ashes also performed but it is not in focus this paper. To determine relevant combustion parameters, tests were carried out laboratory-scale, fixed bed reactor (KLEAA) at KIT-ITC. Subsequently, Fraunhofer UMSICHT continuously operated plants with different plant sizes 30 kW, 100 440 kW. All compositions...
